Stampin’ Up!’s Designer Series Papers are great for scrapbooking – but they’re also great for cards! Check out this easy patterned paper card design – by Rose Marie Coleman, today’s Sunday Swap Share.
This card uses the Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper (Level 1 Sale-a-Bration reward – free with $60CAD product order) for the main visual elements. I love how rounding only a couple of the corners of the paper give it a different effect. There’s a corner rounder on the Detailed Trio Punch, or you can use Stampin’ Up!’s Envelope Punch Board to round corners – it’s built in to the board!
The card sentiment is from the Butterfly Gala Stamp Set, which is available for purchase. The Butterfly Duet punch unfortunately is still unorderable at this time (which also means that the Butterfly Gala Bundle is also unorderable), so we will continue to wait patiently until they let us know it’s available again! You’ll notice that you won’t need it for this card anyway!
The accents on this card are the Gingham Gala Adhesive Back Sequins, which are getting low in inventory, so I’d suggest if you need to get them, you order them soon!!
This easy patterned paper card design is clean and simple, and you could easily change out the Desginer Series Paper and sentiment and have a whole different look! These are the kinds of cards that make my crafting so much easier, especially when I need an impressive card in a hurry!
