Happy Birthday with Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper

I can't get enough of the Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper. Decorate your projects with this beautiful DSP.  With a range of delicate floral designs and neutral simple patterns, the Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper pack is a perfect choice for spring projects, weddings, Easter, birthdays and much more.

I used Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper for the front of this card.  I layered the DSP on top of the Soft Succulent Cardstock card base and cut them both together using the hexagon die from the Beautiful Designs Die.  Then I used the larger hexagon on the DSP only so it creates a border

Flowing Flowers Garden Green Thank You Card

There are so many wonderful new products from the Stampin' Up! Jan-March Mini Catalog but the Flowing Flowers Stamp Set has become one of my favorites.  For today's Thank You card, I cut out a piece of White Cardstock with the Scalloped Contour Die and stamped the flower and the greeting in Garden Green Ink.  I layered the flower against a piece of Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper and added a piece of Vellum Cardstock to soften things up.

The Golf Fine Art Ribbon and Champaign Rhinestone Basic Jewels add a little gold sparkle and shine.

Beautiful Shapes Dies with Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper

Have you seen the Beautiful Shapes Dies in the Jan-Mar Mini Catalog?  Well I am in love...  The basic shapes included can be used to cut out circles, hexagons, parallelograms, and triangles.  Create card front layers from cardstock or pattern paper.  Dies can also be used to create die-cut paper embellishments.  

I used the dies with Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper to create this pretty hexagon card.  I cut out one hexagon with White Cardstock and then embossed it with Pretty Flowers 3D Embossing Folder.

Card Details:

• White Cardstock card base:  5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
• White Cardstock layer:  5 1/4" x 4"

• The "feel better friend" sentiment is from the Hand-Penned Stamp Set
• I cut out the hexagon from the White Cardstock layer and then I stamped the greeting on the card base
