Simply Sunday: Friendly Hello

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

I missed you yesterday as I was hosting my Virtual Kick Off Party for the Jan-Jun Mini and Sale-a-bration Catalogs … we had a blast! I showcased four product suites or bundles with one being the Friendly Hello from the Sale-a-bration Catalog.

The designer paper in this bundle is amazing ….

The pretty patterns are fun and playful and so easy to work with … they are so pretty the really wouldn’t need much to turn it into a card, and that is exactly what I demonstrated!

I chose the Granny Apple Green with White floral pattern …

I trimmed the designer paper to 5″ x 3-3/4″ … my mat is Basic White and cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″ and the Granny Apple Green card base is 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″. Both cards I am sharing today are using the same paper and dimensions.

I simply layered my cardstock pieces … then added my greeting which comes from the Peaceful Moments stamp set and punched with the Label Me Lovely Punch. Add just a piece of the pretty new White 3/4″ Frayed Ribbon and a few Elegant Faceted Gems.

Now for the next card, I swapped out the White Mat for a Black one and wow …

For this card, I wanted to show that the dual floral stamp that is in the stamp set aligns with the flowers on your designer paper! I stamped it in Black to really bring that Granny Apple Green to a bolder level … who knew! lol You could add more black as both the different leaves have coordinating stamps.

I used that same stamp set ” Peaceful Moments” for my greeting, and just stamped it on a scrap piece of white which I turned into a banner! I made a black banner as well and put it behind the white. I used the NEW Classic Mat Dots to anchor my greeting.

Isn’t it amazing how the same paper can be changed up to create two different cards. I have only begun to work with this bundle. You can create tons of quick cards with this designer paper … and I have yet to share cards with the bird. Stay tuned, I have so much more to share!
