More Pretty Paper!

Those of you who have been following my blog know how much I LOVE Stampin' Up!'s Designer Series Papers.   I wanted to show off the newest designs - Afternoon Tea and Summer Picnic.  They are a great accessory to add to all your paper crafting projects.  Both first appeared in the Occasions Mini on March 1.  Along with the paper swatches are listed its coordinating colors.   You can use the coordinating colors along with the Designer Series Papers to make perfectly coordinated cards and scrapbook pages!

Fall Friend

This is the one of the last of the swaps that I did for the Occasions Mini.  This set uses Friendly Flowers.

The largest stamp in this set is a flower that runs about three inches across.  It dominates the entire front of the card if your card is standard size.

I was having a hard time deciding what to do, so it dawned on me to cut the flower down the center and use it more as an embellishment instead of a focal point.  So, this is what I came up with.

Here's the recipe for this card:
Stamps: Friendly Flowers
Cardstock: Whisper White, Soft Sky, Old Olive
Ink: Soft Sky, Old Olive
Designer Series Paper: Fall Flowers
Ribbon: Soft Sky Double Stitched Grosgrain
Accessories: Silver Brad, Pop Dot
Tools: Distresser Tool, Scallop Circle Punch, Circle Punch, Stamp-a-ma-jig

Enjoy!

Best Friend

Here is one of the swaps I did for a Occasions Mini Swap.  I had to feature a stamp set from the mini.  I chose to do Full of Life (again).

Does this card look familiar?  It's eerily similar to yesterday's card.  I just changed a few things.  I really like this layout and well, I changed enough that it looks like a totally different card.  Hey, if you find a layout that works, why not?  *wink*

Here's the recipe for this card:
Stamps: Full of Life
Cardstock: Naturals White, Sahara Sand, Ruby Red, Blue Bayou, Soft Sky
Ink: Blue Bayou
Designer Series Paper: Western Sky
Ribbon: Blue Bayou Double Stitched Grosgrain
Tools: Paper Piercer, Mat Pack, Distresser Tool

Don't forget to come back to this blog on March 1.  There will be a link to the Occasions mini posted.
