I FINALLY received my last Stampin’ Up! order yesterday! For days I was getting a notice saying it was “On Its Way!” When I checked the detailed tracking, I saw that it had gone from Salt Lake City to Albuquerque to San Antonio and then back and forth from Houston to Austin TX three times!! But I guess it was worth the wait because this Season of Green & Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper, one of the new Online Exclusives, is gorgeous! You can’t tell from my photos or even online but I can tell you it is really nice.
The greenery on these papers is just beautiful especially when accented with gold foil. And of course, on “the other side” of the paper, the patterns are more generic so you can use them any time of year or use for tags or other projects. This paper is in the Season of Green & Gold Suite Collection.
I couldn’t wait to make something with this pretty paper, so I just went with a simple card design. This Season of Green & Gold Christmas Card is what I came up with. You will love this pattern with the gold bells on it along with the foliage. Besides Christmas, you can use the bells for wedding or anniversary cards!
The card base is Garden Green cardstock. The two patterns of paper you see on this card are the two sides of the same sheet. As you can see, you could use that green plaid for almost anything! I cut the two patterns so they would overlap so I could wrap ribbon around the seam. The ribbon is the Cream 1/4″ Woven Ribbon in the Online Exclusives. It’s very pretty.
The greeting is stamped in Garden Green ink on Basic White from the Brightest Glow Stamp Set (retired). The Season of Green & Gold Suite has a new stamp set in it called Greetings of the Season. I couldn’t make up my mind on all the things when I ordered so I only got the paper in this Suite and the Cherry Cobbler and Pearl Adhesive-Backed Berries. Of course, I had to have the bling!
The next time you order, don’t pass up the Season of Green & Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper, even if you don’t get anything else!
