If you’d like a really easy card to make that shows off the beautiful designer series paper, this Hues of Happiness Sending Many Thanks Card would be a good one to make! Really all I had to do was look through the pack of paper to be inspired! It’s always a tough choice though with Stampin’ Up! papers to choose which one to use and even which side to use sometimes because they are all so pretty.
The card base is Melon Mambo because it’s one of the many colors that coordinate with this floral pattern in the Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper. I just happened to think of putting the designer paper as a panel right in the middle of the card instead of on one side. The floral paper is 3 1/4″ x 5 1/2″. I could have left it like that but I decided to add some Daffodil Delight cardstock on each side.
The greeting is in the Happiness Abounds Stamp Set. I didn’t want to use the entire greeting so I colored in only the words I wanted with a Melon Mambo Stampin Write Marker. The greeting is die cut with one of the Tailor Made Tags Dies.
I didn’t have Melon Mambo ribbon and I needed something narrow to fit through the tag, so I colored a piece of the White 1/4″ Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon with my Light Melon Mambo Stampin’ Blend marker. It’s real easy to do…just use the side of the marker to color over the ribbon. Just have a piece of scrap paper underneath! Then give it a little bit of time to dry or check with another piece of paper or paper towel or something to make sure no ink rubs off. You can color most any ribbon like this! The greeting tag is popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals.
To embellish the card, I used a few Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels on the flowers and on the tag. They always add a little sparkle!
I think the Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper is some of the prettiest we’ve had! But we’ve had lots of pretty papers! It makes cardmaking easy when your supplies are such high quality!
