Last week Stampin’ Up! released some new products for stamping and scrapbooking and my order came the other day! We often say the Stampin’ Up! paper is prettier in person than you see in photos or online. I’d say that is true about this new Brushed With Beauty Designer Series Paper that I used on this Brushed With Beauty Birthday Card. Floral papers can be used for almost any occasion so it is good to have several on hand for your cardmaking needs.
This Brushed With Beauty Designer Series Paper is part of the Brushed With Beauty Suite in the new Online Exclusives for November 2025. If you want it ALL, just order the Suite with one product number (167100). If you want to pick and choose, then order by item. Also, there will be a virtual Stampin’ Up! class in a private Facebook group using this Suite! You can purchase the class HERE by November 17th to craft along and/or watch the class on November 20th. You can still purchase it later to watch the replay.
For this card I used Mossy Meadow cardstock for the card base. When I went to choose a designer paper pattern, I knew I was going to use a different pattern along the side. But when I saw the pattern on the back side of this floral bouquet patterned paper, I decided to just fold over the edge to reveal “the other side” of the paper. The floral bouquet paper was cut at 4″ x 5 1/4″ and then the right side was folded back 1/2″ to make that interesting side edge. I adhered the designer paper then to a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Petal Pink card stock which. matches the paper, allowing the Petal Pink to only show on the left side of the card.
The greeting is stamped from the Simply Said Stamp Set in Mossy Meadow ink on Very Vanilla card stock. It was diecut with a small oval die in the Traditional Labels Dies. Then I chose a larger oval die of Petal Pink cardstock for a layer behind the greeting. I chose the Petal Pink 5/16″ Braided Trim to place underneath the greeting. It is just kind of folded in half with a little loop at the top peeking over the top of the greeting and then trimmed the ends. The whole greeting is popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals.
For a finishing touch, I added three Pearls of Beauty in Crumb Cake. There are also White and Calypso Coral pearls in the package. They are pretty and fairly flat, which is good for mailing.
