I think there is something about this paper I used on this Hand-Penned Floral Thanks Card that is just enchanting! You can’t really grasp how pretty it is until you see it in person! I know we say that all the time, but I think the catalog doesn’t do it justice. I hope you won’t pass it up! And if you order it today, August 2nd, you can get it at a 15% discount on this the LAST DAY of the Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper Sale! Look for the Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper.
To make this card, I used Garden Green for the card base. The sheet of paper I chose is the one on the right side of the card with the Pale Papaya flowers and blue and green leaves. The other side of that paper is the green print you see on the left side of the card! I thought both were pretty and obviously would go perfectly together for a two-paper card! That strip is cut at 1 1/4″ wide but you could make it a little wider or a little narrower if you wanted. I adhered the strip to the side with all the colors and then adhered the ribbon before adhering the whole piece to the card base. I tied the bow separately and attached it with Mini Glue Dots. This beautiful ribbon is one of the new In Color Ribbons, the Pale Papaya 3/8″ Woven Ribbon. All these In Colors ribbons are sheer and beautiful! I love all five of them!
The greeting is in the Hand-Penned Petals Stamp Set. I stamped it on Basic White in Garden Green ink. I found the Garden Green die cut rectangle in the bag with the cardstock so I just found another shape die that I could layer over it. This one in the Stitched So Sweetly Dies worked fine because the die for the Garden Green die-cut is also in that set!
That’s it! Very easy card! Be sure to look at all the papers available on the Designer Paper Sale today and save 15%!
