Card Ideas with the Expressions in Ink Patterned Paper

I'm hopping with the Pretty Cards & Paper International Design Team today and this month we're all using the gorgeous Expressions in Ink patterned paper. I LOVE this paper! It has gorgeous colors and gold accents. Of course, it also coordinates with the Artistically Inked stamp set, although this paper's so pretty that it would be beautiful just paired with a simple sentiment.

So, on y go! Let's get stamping.

Thank You Card Idea

The Artistically Inked stamp set also has matching dies which include a beautiful detailed flower cluster and a giant branch of leaves. I cut the flower cluster from gold foil. I trimmed part of it from the bottom so that the flower would only peek out on the left side of the sentiment. 

The gold accents on the patterned paper matches the gold foil beautifully. 

Wedding Card Idea with a Gift Card Holder

This beautiful handmade wedding card idea has a gift card holder on the inside. Be sure to watch the video above to see exactly how it is put together. 

I stamped the flowers in Pale Papaya and added leaves in Pear Pizzazz and Soft Sea Foam underneath. I die cut the branch of leaves from gold foil and then cut the leaves apart to tuck under the flowers.
