Some of the patterns of paper in the Petals & Paisleys Specialty Designer Series Paper may come as a surprise such as the one I used on this Petals & Paisleys Cajun Craze Thank You Card.  You might think almost every paper would have some kind of paisley pattern on it.  But the pack comes with many different patterns! Although I did not purchase the stamp set and framelits that go with the paper (even a Demonstrator can’t have everything!), I knew I could make lots of pretty cards with just the paper, especially for fall.

This design, of course, is one of the most simple you could make for any card. The card base is Rich Razzleberry. I adhered the designer paper and added some Mint Macaron ribbon that comes in the Trio Pack in the Holiday Catalog.  The “Thank You” is a greeting in the Flourishing Phrases Stamp Set. It is die cut with the  Layering Oval Framelits as well as the little scalloped layer underneath.  The Oval Framelits are on the Stampin’ Up! Special Offers this week through Wednesday, September 21 so get them at a discount while you can!

And on the inside of the card, I glued a narrow strip (about 1/2″) of designer paper along the bottom edge of a Very Vanilla layer (since the Rich Razzleberry is too dark to write or stamp on for a message or note), just to add a little interest inside the card!

Cards made with the Petals & Paisleys Designer Paper are going to look so elegant, you might want to add an envelope liner to your envelope or glue a piece on the back flap of the envelope!

Some designer papers are called “Specialty” because they come with one or two sheets with something special on just one side – like copper foil design in this pack!

You know Stampin’ Up! paper always looks better in person, photos just do not do it justice, so just trust me on this one, the paper is beautiful, especially that last blue sheet with the copper foil!
