Designer Paper Makes it Easy

Welcome to a simple Sunday post.

I have a plant lovers card to share with you! Not only is it easy, but it’s also quick to make!

Paper Sale

This card features the Bloom Where You’re Planted Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up!®️, which so happens to be on sale! The Designer Series Paper Sale runs until August 2nd, so head on over to my online store or contact me to order.

In case you can’t tell in the photos, the plant and pot were fussy-cut from the patterned paper! That means, the only thing on this card that is stamped is the sentiment.

It’s all in the paper!

I started with a strip of the paper that has pots in a row, then used a ruler to draw a pencil line indicating where I wanted to cut. After I was happy with the placement of the line, my scissors went to work to fussy-cut around the base of all the pots and along my line between them.

The dark coloured pot was fussy cut from another piece of paper and used as an additional layer over the paper strip. Adhering that second layer on Dimensionals makes that pot stand out a bit from the others. Combined with the fussy-cut plant and the little Silver Epoxy Essentials accent, it all comes together nicely.

While the sentiment would have looked great stamped with ink alone, I decided to incorporate some heat embossing for pizzazz. The Tasteful Touches stamp set has this lovely sentiment, which I stamped on Cinnamon Cider cardstock. After heat embossing with White Embossing powder, I used my Blending Brush to add some Cinnamon Cider ink to the edges of the paper. This adds such a lovely vignette effect and richness to the paper.

I’m glad you stopped by to check out this quick card.

Check back on Tuesday afternoon to see my Paper Pumpkin alternative project. You’re going to like it!
