Today’s clean & simple card is a combination of Pansy Petals and Expressions In Ink Designer Paper.

Happy Day

This “clean & simple” card began with a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Then, I used an Ornate Layers Die to cut the center, gingham panel. It is one of 12 designs of  Pansy Petals Designer Paper, which is on sale for the month of July. All of the designer papers that are on sale are listed below, and clicking on the pictures will take you to my store for ordering, where you will see the sale prices.

I layered the gingham panel for thickness, and attached it to the card base with Dimensionals. 

Next, I fussy cut three flowers from Expressions In Ink Designer Paper (not on sale), using my Stampin’ Up! Paper Snips. I glued the first flower flat, the second one on Dimensionals, and the smallest one on doubled Dimensionals.

The flowers have gold centers, so I thought it would be fun to use Gold Foil for the sentiment. I used two of the Word Wishes Dies to cut “Happy Day.” This is a great set, if you like paper words, because it has lots of holidays. It’s in my Product List below, and if you click on the picture you’ll see the words clearly, instead of backwards.

Most often, I leave the inside blank, but I knew the verse I wanted for this card. I stamped this sentiment from the Pansy Patch Stamp Set in Old Olive Ink on Basic White Cardstock (4″ X 5 1/4″) “Wishing you a little extra happiness just because you’re you.” I glued this to the inside, and my card was complete.

I was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches.
