This Meandering Meadows Scenic View Card uses beautiful designer paper that I haven’t used in awhile and using a greeting that is brand new! Actually, the card base is brand new also!
This designer series paper is called Meandering Meadows and comes in the 6″ x 6″ size. You’ll find it in the Online Exclusives. Each paper is like owning a painting of a beautiful meadow painted by an artist in the impressionist style. You really could frame each individual scenic paper or change them out every few months for some art in your home!
The paper is part of the Meandering Meadows Suite Collection. As I write this, the whole Suite is not available only because the Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies & Birds is out of stock BUT due in next week! With the Suite you get the stamp set, Garden Meadow, the Garden Meadow Dies, the paper, the ribbon, and the brass embellishments.
To make this card, I started with the new Basic Beige Cardstock, one of the new Basic colors. I thought this color of cardstock would go well with the other colors I was using. The Basic Beige is layered with the greenish side of one of the papers that has a scene.
This arched die is perfect for making kind of a window into one of the scenic papers. If you cut the arched-opening first, you can place it over some of the scenic papers and see which one you would like to show through the window, then cut that paper just a smidge smaller than your arched piece. I glued everything on flat to the card but you could use Dimensionals if you wanted.
The greeting is in one of the new Ephemera Packs in the catalog. This one has all kinds of greetings and is the Saying Something Ephemera Pack. The three others have flowers, labels, and miscellaneous things that will be fun to use. I chose this one because the colors kind of went with the card and it fit nicely on the card. You know I couldn’t resist using a few Iridescent Foil Gems on the card.
There are so many fun products in the Online Exclusives so even though they are not in the catalog, don’t forget to check that category online when you are ordering. Of course, new products are going to be added along and along, too! The Online Exclusives makes that convenient so Stampin’ Up! can put new things out there without waiting for a new catalog to be published.
