Regency Park Mango Melody Thinking of You Card

Regency Park Mango Melody Thinking of You Card

While changing out the Stampin’ Up! old colors with the new ones, I found a full new package of Mango Melody Cardstock in the drawer on reserve and ONE sheet in the package I was using. I didn’t want to open up a brand new package of cardstock just to store one more sheet in there. I left out the single sheet on the table so I would remember just to USE IT! USE IT UP!! So I made this card, the Regency Park Mango Melody Thinking of You Card. It’s a very easy design!

The Regency Park 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper is on the Last Chance List. You get florals on one side and all kinds of designs on the other side of the paper – stripes, polka dots, tiny flowers, and more. There are many pretty colors that coordinate so you will have many choices for your cards, scrapbook pages, and other projects.

Since I wanted to use my sheet of Mango Melody Cardstock, I chose a floral pattern that had Mango Melody in it. Then I chose a polka dot Mango Melody pattern for the bottom portion of the card. It is 1 1/2″ wide. You could use just the floral pattern and a greeting, but it’s also fun to use another pattern at the bottom. And I couldn’t resist the polka dots!

Before adhering the designer paper to the Mango Melody card base, I wrapped a piece of Evening Evergreen 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon across the front and adhered it on the back. I didn’t end up using a bow anywhere on the card.

The greeting is stamped from the Sentimental Park Stamp Set in Shaded Spruce Ink. The Sentimental Park Stamp Set and Dies are both in the new Stampin’ Up! Catalog, but will not be bundled together. If you want to purchase both, be sure to buy the Sentimental Park Bundle before the end of the Spring Mini and save 10%.

To cut out the greeting, I used a Deckled Rectangle Die and then a larger one to cut out a layer of Mango Melody. These great dies are in the new catalog, also. To finish off the greeting, I added some 2021-2023 Opal Rounds (retired) in Evening Evergreen to fill in the space.

Here is another card on my blog that I made in almost the same style as this one except in a vertical design.

If you want to use up some Regency Park Designer Series Paper and some retiring cardstock, make some cards with this easy design!
