#stampinup My favorite designer series paper in the 2015-16 Stampin’ Up catalog, by far, is English Garden. I love it so much that I hoarded it for the entire Stampin’ Up year. (And I know I’m not the only one who does that!!) But now I have some left and I don’t want it to go to waste, so I made a stack of quick and easy cards that showcase this pretty paper.
I started with a floral panel of the English Garden DSP (retiring–and sold out) and backed it with a Melon Mambo mat. I added a length of Tip Top Taupe 1″ Dotted Lace Trim (retiring)–until I ran out of it–before adhering everything to a Mossy Meadow (retiring) card base.
Next, I stamped a sentiment from the “Rose Wonder” stamp set in Melon Mambo onto a Whisper White scrap and punched it out with the Note Tag Punch (retiring). I punched a small hole at the top of the tag with the 1/16″ Hand-Held Circle Punch so that I could tie the tag onto the Tip Top Taupe ribbon with some Linen Thread. I anchored the tag at a jaunty angle using a couple of Stampin’ Dimensionals.
When I ran out of Tip Top Taupe ribbon, I made a couple of plain cards, which I think turned out almost as pretty as the others with ribbon!
Here are all the cards that I made in less than 30 minutes. I’m going to donate them to my church. They have a “Monday for the Master” meeting where they pray for church members–and their friends and family–who have requested prayers. They also send cards to those who have requested prayers. I’m glad I can contribute to this effort in my own way.
REMEMBER:
