The other day I was making several cards with the beautiful Petals & Paisleys Specialty Designer Series Paper, and I think this one, the Petals & Paisleys Scalloped Tag Thank You Card, might be my favorite — well, it’s hard to pick a favorite, I liked them all! I didn’t even buy the matching stamp set or framelits, just the paper (at least not yet!), but I thought I could make some beautiful cards with just the paper and greetings from other stamp sets.
This package of paper actually surprised me with the different patterns in it. It’s always fun to flip the new paper over and see what pattern is on the other side! The papers I used on this card are from the same sheet, opposite sides! I decided to use the patterned paper and leave a wide margin rather than another color of cardstock for a layer. Then the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch came in handy for the focal point on the card. Just cut the paper a smidge under 2 inches to fit into the tag punch. It may seem very narrow, but once the tag is punched and embellished, it is not too small at all. You could even add layers to it if you wanted.
The greeting is from the Flourishing Phrases Stamp Set. The ribbon is the Mint Macaron which comes in the Ribbon 3/8″ Trio Pack. So great to get three ribbons that coordinate in one package! And I think these designer papers and ribbon are perfect for any fall or Thanksgiving cards. For a little fun, I added one of the new Brights Enamel Shapes, the heart shape in Rich Razzleberry, to the tag. One thing I love about the Enamel Shapes is that they are pretty flat so easy to mail!
