Sometimes you just want to make an easy card or just let the designer paper be the main focus as in this Pansy Petals Happiness Card. Just a card base, a layer of designer paper, a greeting and some embellishment and you’re done…yet you still made a pretty card!
The Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper has beautiful patterned paper, including some ginghams and other designs on the “back” of the florals. This particular pattern with the smaller floral images really caught my eye! The card base is Soft Succulent, one of the new In Colors. Here’s another card using a different pattern of pansies paper.
I used the Polished Pink 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon to wrap around the front of the designer paper. The bow is tied separately and adhered with Mini Glue Dots. This ribbon is just gorgeous, I think, and comes in all the In Colors. I love it!
The greeting is stamped in Polished Pink. It is one of the greetings in the Pansy Patch Stamp Set but I omitted part of the greeting. This is when sticky notes come in handy! I carefully placed the notes over the part of the stamp I did not want to use and then stamped in the ink pad. Be sure to remove the sticky note before stamping on your cardstock! Luckily I did remember! This way I could stamp just the part of the stamp I wanted.
The greeting is die-cut with just one of the Layering Circle Dies and layered on one of the scalloped circle dies. It is popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals over the ribbon. Of course, I had to add some Polished Pink In Color Jewels to the greeting. These are already so popular they are back-ordered! But you must get them as soon as they are back in stock!
Remember, you don’t always have to make a super-fancy card. Sometimes quick and easy cards like this Pansy Petals Happiness Card are just fine!
