Make an Elegant Floral Share What You Love Thank You Card with this BEAUTIFUL Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper. It is available now in the Share What You Love Suite in the Gotta Have It All Bundle. Even if you do not purchase this largest Bundle during this Early Release offer, you will want to order the paper as soon as possible in June! The paper is double-sided, heavyweight, and on one side has pearlized accents! You might be able to see the gleam a little bit on these blue flowers. Really pretty in person!
To make this card, I began with a card base of Mint Macaron. If you have been a Stampin’ Up! customer for awhile, you might already have this cardstock in your stash! If not, you will receive it in a cardstock pack that comes in the two larger Bundles. From the beautiful designer paper, I cut a strip and then the piece to fit the front of the card. But I cut this piece into two and just flipped it over to the backside for the bottom half of the card layer. I think it just adds a little interest to have the two different patterns, and they coordinate so beautifully. I used a piece of the 1/4″ Copper Trim ribbon to apply over the seam. I think it matches pretty well with that bottom piece of designer paper.
For an embellishment I chose one of the Pearlized Doilies that come in the larger Bundles. These have a pearlized surface on one side and white on the other side that could be colored if you wanted. I had no planned idea of how I was designing this card, but I just played around until I was happy with it…..and that didn’t take long! I punched a circle of Mint Macaron with the 2 1/4″ Circle Punch to adhere behind the doily. Then I needed “something” to decorate the front of the doily. I thought about adhering the greeting across it, but after playing around, I just added some cut out flowers from the designer paper on top of the doily, some pieces popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals (or the Mini Dimensionals). Even though it’s a bit of effort to cut out these flowers by hand, I bet you can’t cut just one! This paper is so beautiful you can enjoy the close-up cutting and get a better appreciation for the art that is this paper!
The greeting is stamped in Mint Macaron ink on a piece of Whisper White with an image from the Love What You Do Stamp Set in all three bundles.
