When you begin with gorgeous designer paper, you can create a card that’s “quick and easy.” Today’s cards began with layers of Expressions In Ink Designer Paper, in two different color combinations.
I glued the green combo to a Granny Apple Green card base, and the pink/yellow combo to a Magenta Madness card base. The layers (4″ X 5 1/4″) and card bases (8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″) were easily made with my Paper Trimmer, the one I use every day without mentioning. In case you aren’t familiar with it, I have it in my Product List below.
Celebrate with Seasonal Swirls
In fact, all of the supplies are in my Product List, with the exception of the circle of stars. This is a new die (#156564) from the Seasonal Swirls Die Set, in the 2021 July-August Mini Catalog, and will be available August 3.
I coordinated the circles by using our current, Rainbow Glimmer Paper, which adds a wonderful sparkle.
Before gluing the circles, I stamped the sentiment, “let’s celebrate you,” in Magenta Madness, and Shaded Spruce inks. Isn’t it nice the designer paper has a large, white space for stamping the sentiment? Finding the perfect sentiment was the most difficult part of the design.
To complete the cards, I added the sweet, little, bird, a Beautiful Trees Die, cut from the same color cardstock as the card bases: Granny Apple Green, and Magenta Madness. I have a feeling this bird will be appearing on many of my cards. The birds are having a chirping contest right now, trying to determine which card is the prettiest. They didn’t believe me when I said I liked them equally.
