This Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper will be in the new Stampin’ Up! Catalog on June 4th and it is gorgeous! The patterns are handpainted images made into this lovely paper! I don’t know if we have ever had anything quite like this designer paper before at Stampin’ Up!
This card is an easy design using just a strip of the designer paper, coordinating cardstock colors, a greeting from the Floral Essence Stamp Set and this new beautiful ribbon, 5/8″ Organdy Striped Ribbon.
The card base is Blackberry Bliss. I originally thought I was going to use Petal Pink and I had trimmed off this little strip of paper. When I changed to the Blackberry Bliss, I decided to just use that strip of pink next to the designer paper. I adhered a strip of the ribbon around the designer paper and tied on a bow. This ribbon is so pretty, but it also allows the designer paper to show through a bit.
The greeting is from the coordinating stamp set, Floral Essence. This stamp set has flowers and sentiments and also a coordinating punch, the Perennial Flower Punch. It fits one of the 3-petal stamp images so you can stamp and punch a couple and make a layered flower!
The greeting is die cut with the Stitched Shapes Dies and layered on a Layering Circles Petal Pink scalloped circle.
This is a very simple card. You could do some watermark-type stamping on the Blackberry Bliss with the flower stamps if you wanted to add more. You could add some rhinestones or little embellishments on the greeting or even a few scatted on the card base instead of the stamping. You can almost always make a card very simple or jazz it up in several ways.
