Striking Card Idea with Flower & Field Patterned Paper

If you've stopped by my blog or my Facebook group in recent weeks, you probably already know that Flower & Field is my favorite Sale-A-Bration item! I absolutely love how dramatic this paper is. Like the Paper Blooms patterned paper, it is a Level 1 reward and FREE with a $50 purchase.

I've also used the You Are Amazing stamp set on this card. I love the bold greetings in this set! I've mounted the patterned paper on Basic Black and Granny Apple Green cardstock and added 3 Matte Black Dots. They are a bit hard to see, but these dots are a fabulous little something for cards. They are going to be fantastic for masculine cards where you don't want flash, but you need a little dot of something to make the card look right.

Berry Delightful and Sweet Strawberry Card Design

My last card uses the new Berry Delightful patterned paper which comes with the Berry Blessings stamp set as a Level 2 Sale-A-Bration reward. This means you can get it FREE with a $100 purchase.

I completed the card with Granny Apple Green and Garden Green cardstock, some red rhinestones, and a sentiment from the Sweet Strawberry stamp set. This set of stamps is in the 2021 January-June Mini catalog and coordinates with the Berry Delightful patterned paper.
