One of my favorite ways to spark creativity is to start with a great card sketch. Today’s birthday card and sketch share a very simple way to do a quick card with plenty of WOW! using designer series paper. I have a 1 Minute to WOW! Video Tutorial to share with you tomorrow which includes tips and and an alternate way to use “blocks” of color and pattern with designer series paper.
I love hearing from you! Please leave me your questions or comments about the project for today.
STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:
- Sneak Peek! The darling 1″ wide strips of pattern are from Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper. It’s available for purchase June 1 when the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog begins. Here’s my FREE Coordinating Designer Series Paper Color Chart of all the new designer series paper. Print and keep the chart handy!
- The daisy paper strips are spaced evenly 1/8″ apart and adhered to a 3 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ rectangle of Daffodil Delight card stock.
- Sneak Peek! It’s all pulled together with a yummy piece of Daffodil Delight 1/4″ Double-Stitched Ribbon (available June 1). One side of the ribbon is cross stitch and the other is dashes.
