Hello Fellow Stampers ~
Well, goodness!! I think maybe . . . just maybe, I'm starting to return to normal - whatever that is!! LOL At least I'm starting to feel a little bit better.
I wanted to share a project today that I actually started before New Year's - before I got sick. I usually always showcase special Thank You cards after the Christmas holidays; as we always need to say "thank you" for all those fabulous gifts Santa brought us, right? This year, I started to design my thank you cards around the new designer series paper in the 2020 Spring Mini Catalog. I thought it would be fun to showcase new product instead of making my designs feel "wintery" or holidayish. So there are lots of new products and fun in these cards. I also took it a step further, and created cards for more than just saying "thank you."
This collection of cards are created using the "quick and easy" Whisper White Notecards & Envelopes. I love the 3-1/2" x 5" finished size of these notecards, and how easy it is to throw together a bunch of cards with the pre-cut/pre-scored notecards all ready to go for you!! I used a simple layout that I used across all the designs, with only small "alterations" here and there to mix things up a little bit.
So let's start with the From My Heart suite showcase. The fun side of this particular design in the From My Heart Specialty Designer Series Paper is it can feel "holiday/pepperminty" as much as "Valentiney" -- (made those words up, I did -- LOL). This gives you the first close up look at the simple lay out design I created for these little notecards. A display of beautiful background, matted in a coordinating color, "divided" at the third mark with ribbon (or cardstock) - in this case the new 3/8" Real Red Double-Stitched Satin Ribbon - a beautiful double bow and a focal showcase. I love the new Heart Punch Pack, and the new From My Heart Faceted Gems.
Our second card showcases a design from the Parisian Blossoms Specialty Designer Series Paper ~~ Gorgeous!!
I adore the champagne foil you'll find through this designer paper; and this print is to die for!!
Wrapped in the new Petal Pink 1/4" Metallic-Edged Ribbon; and this card showcases the Parisian Dies beautifully, along with the new Champagne Rhinestones.
This card alters the overall design just slightly!
Showcasing a lovely and simple design from the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper; it uses the new Poppy Moments Dies to give a peekaboo to the Purple Posey cardstock matted behind it. The sentiment is from the new Peaceful Moments stamp set and is fussy cut for a twist.
This card showcases one of my very favorite paper collections in this catalog - the Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper!!
A simple strip of the new Braided Burlap Trim, is the perfect backdrop for the die cuts from the In the Tropics Dies. I just adore this entire suite!!!
This card showcases the new Country Club Designer Series Paper.
And this suite has caught me off guard a little bit. I wasn't sure how gung-ho I was about the whole thing; but boy is it growing on me.
And I had more fun than the law should allow creating this cutie little card!! LOL
Now we're going to jump to Sale-a-Bration - there are two fabulous designer series paper packs in the Sale-a-Bration catalog, and I've showcased them here!!
The Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series Paper showcases gold foil throughout, and pairs beautifully with the new Honey Bee bundle in the Mini Catalog.
I popped this card with Basic Black throughout to make it very striking!!
And this card is my favorite I think!!
I absolutely love the new Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper - and this whole card design showcases ALL things Sale-a-Bration!!
The cutouts are from the new Lily Pad Dies - which you can snap up for FREE with a qualifying $100 order.
I chose to showcase the dies on this card - and leave it with no sentiment of any kind, because sometimes we just need a "blank" notecard to drop a note to a friend, don't you think??
Now, some lucky person is going to get a little freebie from me!! If you can name the two designer papers I did not showcase in today's collection, leave it in the comments below. One lucky person will get a 6" x 6" "sampler" of those two missing designer papers collections. I'll pick the winner this weekend!! So leave me your comments and guesses!!
Finally, today is all about our new designer paper -- and that means, it is "time to share" - but not for too much longer. Hop over to my Shares Page, to learn all about this catalog's Product Shares -- and get signed up for your choice TODAY!! The first share groupings are being packaged and going out in the mail this week. There is not much time left to get one for yourself!! Check it out HERE.
Hugs, . . .
