Here’s an ideas for an Easy Pansy Petals Designer Paper Card, using the beautiful new paper coming in the next Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog! You will love all the sheets of paper in the package, florals on one side and ginghams, stripes, and other designs on the other side! You can make a simple card because the paper is so pretty.
This card starts with a card base of Fresh Freesia Cardstock, one of the new In Colors in the catalog. It is lighter in person than in this photograph. This pansy print paper is in the Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper. Some of the sheets have pansies and leaves that can be die-cut right from the paper. No stamping required!
Before adhering the designer paper to the card base, I tied some of the Fresh Freesia 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon around the paper and then tied on a bow. I like this Open Weave Ribbon in all the new In Colors so much!! It is very pretty and elegant!
The greeting is in the Pansy Patch Stamp Set. I stamped it in Fresh Freesia Ink on Basic White Cardstock and die-cut it with one of the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. In order to make a layer for the greeting without taking up more room on the card, hiding pansies, I die cut another one of these same shapes out of Fresh Freesia and then cut it in half horizontally so that I could have it layered under the greeting but showing a tiny bit at the top and bottom.
For a little bling, I added two of the Fresh Freesia In Color Jewels. These are so pretty! You will want a package or two of these to go with the new In Colors.
Here is the first card I made with this paper, using another one of the new In Colors, Evening Evergreen plus one of the little Bumblebee Trinkets!
All in all, this is an easy card. Just add the pretty Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper to the card base, add some ribbon, and a greeting! The new catalog and these new products go live on May 4th!
