I think this Enjoy The Journey Mountains Card is probably one of the easiest cards I have ever made! The designer paper needs nothing else on the front of the card except a greeting. And you can get this beautiful paper either of two ways!
This pack of paper is the Enjoy The Journey Designer Series Paper in the Spring Mini Catalog. You’ll find it on page 59 of the Spring Mini Catalog in the Enjoy the Journey Suite. It goes nicely with the Greatest Journey Stamp Set and especially the Greatest Journey Dies which are really fun.
This blog post is mostly about the Enjoy The Journey Designer Series Paper. Instead of buying it, you can get it for FREE this last week of Sale-A-Bration. This paper is one of the new products Stampin’ Up! added a couple of weeks ago in addition to the original brochure. You can find ALL of the available Sale-A-Bration products, most free with a $50 purchase and a few free with a $100 purchase, HERE in the Online Store.
If you want to purchase the paper from the Spring Mini Catalog, use #160586. But if you want to choose the paper as a Sale-A-Bration item, use #164425.
To make this card, I used a Garden Green cardstock card base. Then I just used a piece of the greenish paper with the mountains, snow peaks, and evergreen trees. I cut the piece 4″ x 5 1/4″ as usual. For the greeting, I chose one that I thought went with the mountain theme. It is in the Beauty of Friendship Stamp Set. It is stamped in Garden Green ink and die cut with one of the Stylish Shapes Dies. I cut off the one end to place it up against the edge of the designer paper. That’s really all this card needs because I didn’t want to take away from the grandeur of the mountain scenery!
Remember, Sale-A-Bration comes to an end next Tuesday, February 28. Don’t forget to check your basic stamping supplies, like Basic White cardstock, Envelopes, other colors of cardstock, or specialty paper like Shimmery White. Make sure you have plenty of adhesive and Dimensionals. You’ll need those kinds of things eventually so you might as well stock up while you can get free things!
