Don’t forget about the Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper and Cardstock Sale going on now through the rest of August! There are still wonderful choices of designer series paper available at a 15% discount, but don’t delay too long! This card was made with small pieces of the Lovely Blossoms Designer Series Paper, which is on sale! This paper has white blooms in all sizes, along with the more generic “other sides” of the paper. Plus, there are two sheets of “cut-apart” images from larger size to small with which to make all kinds of card designs, scrapbook pages, and other papercrafting projects, maybe even as framed home decor!

This card, the Lovely Blossoms Squares Hello Card, uses the smallest little squares of different designs on one of the cut-apart sheets. I saw a Stampin’ Up!® video showing the designer series paper on the paper sale, and they talked about the little squares. I hadn’t really thought about making a card with those, so I decided I would try it!

The card base is Cloud Cover cardstock and I covered the entire front of the card base with the designer paper, cut at 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ instead of the uusal 5 1/4″ x 4″. Then I just played around with all the cut-apart squares, which are 2″ x 2″ until I had a design I liked. They are all just glued down flat on the card.

For the greeting, I didn’t want to take up too much room on the card and cover the little squares, so I found one of the hot-foiled greetings I had already made with the Sweetly Sentimental Hot Foil Dies in gold. It was a good size to leave the focus on the rest of the card design. I could have “jazzed up” this card a little bit more but I kind of liked the simplicity of it with the little squares.
