This Flowers For Every Season Hello Card is a pretty basic card design and simple to make. I would also call it a “happy” card because of the pretty colors! If you could see the floral design on the other side of this paper you would call that “happy” also! It’s often difficult to decide which side of the pretty designer paper you want to use!
I’m using two of the new In Colors on this card – Bumblebee and Just Jade. I’m not that crazy about green as a color, but when I opened the package of assorted In Color cardstock, I was really struck by how pretty the Just Jade Cardstock was! I thought using the Just Jade behind the designer paper would help it stand out.
The card base is Bumblebee with a layer of Just Jade, then the Flowers For Every Season 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. You could use any colors and paper pattern that you want plus the same or similar greeting on a different card.
The greeting is stamped from the Tasteful Touches Stamp Set in Just Jade Ink and is die-cut with the Stitched Shapes circle die. The Just Jade piece behind the greeting to help it stand out and just add a little more interest is one of the Tasteful Labels Dies. To save 10%, buy the stamp set and dies together in the Tasteful Touches Bundle.
Before glueing down the designer paper layer, I adhered a piece of the new 1/4″ Bumblebee Gingham Trim across the middle. Then I slipped that Just Jade die-cut underneath the ribbon with the greeting popped up on Dimensionals over the center. I also tied a little ribbon knot on each side of the greeting.
For just a final touch, I added three of the little Bumblebee dots in the 2020 In Color Enamel Dots. These dots were so popular they are out of stock right now but should be back in about two weeks. Get some because the colors are so pretty!
I think I am liking the new 2020-2022 In Colors this year! I ordered the 2020-2022 In Color 8 1/2″ x 11″ Assortment as well as the 12″ x 12″ assortment. That way I have some of all the colors and if I like certain colors a lot, then I can order the packages of single colors.
Have fun checking out all the new products in the Stampin’ Up! Catalog!
