When we talk about making an easy card, this Quick and Easy Awash in Beauty Card fills the bill! All you REALLY need is the designer paper and a card base!
The card base is Polished Pink although there are so many colors in the paper you could choose from many other colors. The Awash In Beauty Designer Series Paper is new in the Stampin’ Up! Annual 2022-2023 Catalog and is beautiful!
As you can see, every paper is pretty enough to make a beautiful card! But one pattern, in particular, is interesting how Stampin’ Up! designed it. It is easy to cut up and make into cards.
You could do lots of different things with this paper, depending on the size of the card you are making. I’ll describe how it works for this card. Since the paper is 12″ x 12″, you can cut it into three strips 4″ wide vertically to have the flowers on the top and bottom and white space in the middle. You can cut the strip in half at 6″ if you want but of course, that will be too long for a card. It needs to be cut at 5 1/4″ to fit on a card front. There you have a choice. If you want more white space at the top of your card then you can trim off a bit of the bottom of the flowers. If you want every bit of the floral part of the paper, then trim it 5 1/4″ from the bottom of the flower part. That’s what I did on this card so you can see how much white space you have at the top. If you wanted just a floral pattern on the left side of your card, you could cut it at whatever width lengthwise and could probably get two strips out of the one section. So you can play around with the paper to have differently designed cards!
Back to my card! I adhered the 5 1/4″ x 4″ piece of the Awash In Beauty DSP to the Polished Pink card base. For the greeting, I used a greeting in the True Beauty Stamp Set, part of the Awash In Beauty Suite. Then I cut it out with one of the Meadow Dies. I love this little label die! So pretty and almost the perfect size for a lot of greetings. I tied a piece of Polished Pink 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon through the left side of the diecut. You could do both sides if your greeting isn’t so far to the right of the card. I popped it up on Stampin’ Dimensionals.
For a finishing touch, I added some Brushed Brass Butterflies flying among the flowers. For some sparkle, I added several Iridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels on the greeting and the card. That’s all there is to it! That’s how you make the Quick and Easy Awash in Beauty Card with the pretty designer paper!
