This is the last weekend for Stampin’ Up! Sale-A-Bration and I ended up using the Daffodil Afternoon Designer Series Paper once again! I had seen another card on Instagram I liked and after I copied that one, a piece of the designer paper peeking out of the papers on the table just called to me to make another card!
This Daffodil Afternoon Designer Series Paper is only available during Sale-A-Bration until February 28. With a $50 purchase, you can choose this paper from the Sale-A-Bration Brochure. This paper is designed with smaller flowers like you see on the pattern I used, plus larger images of daffodils like the one I added to the card.
The card base is Crushed Curry Cardstock. Daffodil Delight is another coordinating color so you have your choice of yellows. For the card layer, I chose this pattern of smaller flowers and then used the opposite side of that paper for the bottom portion for a little contrast. That strip is 5 1/4″ x 1 1/4″. I wrapped around a piece of the 1/4″ Black & White Gingham Ribbon. Even though the papers are busy, this thin ribbon still stands out even not being a solid color. I tied a bow separately and glued it to the card with Mini Glue Dots.
Being influenced by the card I made before this one, I decided to die cut a scalloped circle and another die cut circle showcasing one of the larger daffodils from one of the other papers. I ended up making a layer under the daffodil of a Crushed Curry scalloped circle. Since I had an extra larger Basic Black scalloped circle I added that underneath the Crushed Curry which helped it all stand out a little more against the floral background and popped it up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The greeting is stamped from the Celebrating You Stamp Set, a stamp set with all sorts of greetings and sentiments. It’s in the Spring Mini Catalog on page 65 so don’t overlook it! We always need more words for our cards!
This is a simple, basic card design but always looks good when you make it! In this case, the pretty paper on my Daffodil Afternoon Just For You Card is doing all the work! Remember, Sale-A-Bration ends on Monday, February 28th so get your free stuff with every $50 purchase while you can!
