Pansy Petals Just a Note Card

Pansy Petals Just a Note Card

The Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper Sale has less than one week to go! This Pansy Petals Just a Note Card was made with the Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper, one of the nine select papers you can buy at a 15% discount, but only until August 2. Don’t miss out if you would like to stock up on some really pretty papers!

This card starts with a Pale Papaya Cardstock base with a layer of Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper. Really, in designing this card, I played around with some scraps I had in my package of paper. You don’t always have to stew over a card design before you start making a card. Just get out some designer paper, coordinating colors (I rewrite them on the back cardboard in black marker so I can read them instead of squinting to read the tiny print on the label!) and put different things together! Just play! Don’t be so serious and looking for perfection. Something will show up for you and it might surprise you! In fact, the center piece of designer paper, which I thought was mostly a scrap, turned out to be the inspiration for the card design! Before adhering this first layer of designer paper to the card base, I adhered a piece of the Pale Papaya & White 1/2″ Woven Ribbon around to the back.

For the center of the card, I had chosen this “scrap” piece of designer paper, the one with the dark background and a million tiny pansies all over. As I was about to put glue on the opposite side to adhere to the Calypso Coral Cardstock layer, I thought the Bumblebee-colored side would maybe be prettier on the front! So I just flipped over the idea I had and used the side that wasn’t going to show!

Next, I cut out a pretty pansy image on another piece of designer paper and popped it up on Stampin’ Dimensionals on the side of that center panel. The greeting is stamped from the Encircled in Friendship Stamp Set with Calypso Coral Ink and die cut with a Tasteful Labels Die. The card still needed a little something, so I found another small pansy and cut it out to adhere to the die cut greeting. And for a final touch, I added one of the Bumblebee Trinkets.

I think this card turned out well even being inspired by scraps! You never what you will come up with when you sit down to make a card, so just let the ideas flow even if it is a change you didn’t anticipate! That’s how this Pansy Petals Just a Note Card came about!

Sweet Symmetry Thanks Card

Leave a reply

I passed up this new paper in the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog at first, but decided that might have been a mistake so I ordered it recently on the Designer Series Paper Sale! Now I can use this cute paper to make cards like this Sweet Symmetry Thanks Card. The designs on the paper are really cute, I think, and fun to make cards and projects with.

The designer series paper is called Sweet Symmetry. It has traditional, symmetrical folk art images and florals in soft colors. One side has bolder floral designs and the other side has more generic designs. You can use them together or separately.

Although it looks black in the photo, the card base is Night of Navy, but you can see the dark blue background in the paper. I added a layer of Bumblebee cardstock underneath the designer paper just for fun. Since Bumblebee is one of the coordinating colors I thought it could add a little something to the card.

For an embellishment, I wrapped a piece of Bumblebee 1/4″ Gingham Ribbon around the designer paper and also adhered the separate bow. Sometimes it is easier to tie a bow separately and adhere it to the ribbon with Mini Glue Dots than to try to tie it to the base ribbon.

The greeting is from the Artistically Inked Stamp Set and stamped in Night of Navy ink. It is cut out with a Stitched Rectangle Die. I was going to cut out a layer of some kind to go underneath it without covering up too much of the paper, but in the end, I decided the greeting looked fine as is, especially with the Bumblebee Ribbon going underneath it. It is popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals®.

This is such a basic, easy card design! It’s good for beginners as well as experienced stampers. Use just a card base, a layer of designer paper, and a greeting. That’s really all you need, but as you see, I added an extra cardstock layer and the ribbon for the embellishment.

I think the patterns on this Sweet Symmetry Paper just make you feel “happy” whether you are the cardmaker or the recipient! The Designer Series Paper Sale runs through August 2 so stock up or add to your collection of papers!
