This Flower & Field All-Occasion Card was supposed to look exactly like a sample in the Sale-A-Bration Brochure, but this shows what can happen when you start copying something! Sometimes you change things a little or a lot!
I wanted to make a card with the Flower & Field Designer Series Paper and looked in the Sale-A-Bration Brochure for ideas. Right away the card in the bottom right of page 11 caught my eye. But when I looked through the package of paper, this black background with the Just Jade polka dots is the one that caught my eye!
As I toyed with maybe adding strips of Just Jade Cardstock as a layer under the top and bottom of the polka dot piece, somehow I came up with strips of this flowered pattern instead. I fiddled with the paper sizes until I had about 1 /4″ top and bottom margins on the Basic White Cardstock card base.
The greeting is stamped from the Lovely You Stamp Set. I wanted a greeting that was long in length. I used the same Bumblebee yellow polka dot scrap of designer paper that the brochure sample used to layer underneath the greeting. I used the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch to punch each end of the yellow polka dot layer.
Then for fun, unless you hate cutting with scissors, I cut out several white daisies from another pattern of the Flower & Field Designer Paper to adhere around the greeting. It was a little tedious, but not too bad! You can even consider cutting with Paper Snips relaxing! I popped up a couple of the daisies with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
For a finishing touch, I added a bow of Bumblebee 1/4″ Gingham Ribbon. You could also add some rhinestones or gem embellishments of any kind.
I absolutely love this Flower & Field Paper! If you do too, you can get it FREE during Sale-A-Bration with a $50 Stampin’ Up! purchase. But you have to hurry, because Sunday, February 28 is the last day of Sale-A-Bration! You don’t want to miss out on FREE products!
