Something new from the Stampin’ Up! May-August 2026 Catalog! These Subtles Painted Patterns Note Cards are made with the new Subtles Painted Patterns Designer Series Paper. Every year Stampin’ Up! offers patterned paper in the color families, like Brights, Subtles, etc. The patterns are the same, but the colors, of course, are not. This time, though, the paper is 12″ x 12″ instead of the 6″ x 6″. I really like these patterns, too!
You can see how I mixed up the patterned paper on these cards. You can mix and match the patterns, maybe just turning the same paper over to the other side.
One of the best things you should have in your stash of crafting supplies are the Basic White Note Cards & Envelopes. These are a good size for writing a short note or making a simple card. Not that you couldn’t make something fancy on a note card if you wanted to! They are just handy to have and come with envelopes so you don’t have to hunt for a smaller envelope.
The note cards are 5″ x 3 1/2″ folded. I cut the patterned paper at 4 3/4″ x 3 1/4″. The strip on the left is cut at 3/4″ x 4 3/4″. The sentiment is stamped on a Basic White scallop diecut. Wait until you see all the scallop dies in the package! You’re going to be able to cut a pretty large scallop plus an assortment of smaller layering sizes. These are the Scalloped Blooms Dies. These probably should be on your Shopping List! The greeting is in the Paradise Garden Stamp Set. Wouldn’t that particular greeting just cheer up anybody receiving this card?! My friend would call that a “happy card”!
One set of cards was made with the Calypso Coral paper and the other with the Balmy Blue paper. Each card is stamped in the same color ink. I also added a little white bow out of some retired ribbon. Everything is glued down flat but if you wanted, you could pop up the greeting with Stampin’ Dimensionals, or add the ribbon behind the scallop.
That’s how easy this card is and the new Painted Patterns DSP is so fun to use!
