Simple Cards with the Flowers for Every Season Paper

Today's I am hopping with the Pretty Cards and Paper International Design Team. I have a fun card sketch for you and I used the Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper to make a bunch of variations of this simple sketch. Be sure to read all the way through my post to the full list of design team members and links to their blogs at the bottom. 

The Flowers for Every Season DSP is so pretty! There are so many awesome flower patterns. Sadly, when I sat down to put these cards together, I had already used most of my favorites from the pack. In fact, I was kind of down to the dregs and I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to do with it. My husband looked at the few sheets I had left and declared they looked like old wallpaper.

I really wanted to take this paper and give it a funky twist. So I came up with this card sketch that adds three stripes horizontally across the front and a circle. Mixed and matched with the floral patterns, it gives kind of an updated retro look. Alright, enough talking, on y go! Let's get stamping. 

​This is the basic design. I covered the card front with a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of the Flowers for Every Season DSP. Then I added 1/2" stripes of Just Jade, Bumblebee, and Magenta Madness cardstock. I made them extra long and trimmed the ends once they were adhered. I used the Layering Circle dies to cut Whisper White and Magenta Madness circles. I stamped the greeting from the Here's a Card stamp set in Magenta Madness and added a few Bumblebee Enamel Dots. Super quick and easy!

For my second card, I wanted to use this bit of striped paper that I had left from another project. So instead of covering the whole card front, it is only 3 3/4" x 5 1/2" so that the Magenta Madness shows on the sides. I added strips of Poppy Parade, Magenta Madness, and Bumblee Bee. The greeting is from the Friend Like You stamp set. 

To top it off, I add a few Artistry Blooms Self-Adhesive Sequins. I love, love, love these! They are currently my absolutely favorite accessory in this catalog. They are so easy to use and are so shimmery. They pack includes four colors - Mango Melody, Pool Party, Rich Razzleberry, and Calypso Coral. I used the Mango Melody ones, and while not an exact match, they work well. 
My third card is my absolute favorite of the three. I used the new Pattern Play stamp set. This is my first time cracking it out, and I love it! I can't wait to play with it some more. 

This time, instead of using patterned paper with solid stripes, I used solid Magenta Madness and added stripes of the Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper. I added some more of the self-adhesive sequins for a little bling. This time, I used the Rich Razzleberry ones. They're just so awesome and sparkly!

While I love the bright colors, especially the Magenta Madness, there are also some awesome Christmas theme papers in the pack of Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper. For my last card, I layered patterns on patterns. I stamped the trees and greeting from the Merry Moose stamp set. This awesome set was in last year's Holiday catalog and it's back again this year! So, you can't order it right now, but you will be able to order it again beginning August 4. 

To finish off the card, I added some ribbon. This is the White Crinkled Seam Binding that I colored with the dark Poppy Parade Stampin' blend. Because it's a circle, the piece of ribbon isn't actually tied around the front. Instead, I laid a shorter piece across the front and then taped the ends to the back of the circle. Then, I took another piece, tied a bow, and adhered it to the front with mini glue dots.
