Hello stampers! I’m back in my craft room planning a few Sneak Peek posts. The new January – April Mini Catalog and Sale-A-Bration Brochure will launch on Thursday, January 4th. There are new and on trend Bundles, stamp sets, nesting dies, and a surprise or two waiting to be explored. Along with the “Mini”, the Sale-A-Bration Brochure is filled with new and, as always, amazing Designer Series Paper, a couple of new stamp sets, and more. The Brochure products are free with a qualifying purchase.

Focus On The Paper

I thought this simple card layout would be perfect to showcase a few of the patterns from the new Sunny Days Designer Series Paper. It’s free with a $50 proeduct purchase. The color combination is a perfect mix of bright and subtle.

I paired the patterned paper with the Horray For Surprises Bundle. This is one of those Bundles that you will use time and again. You can celebrate a birthday, say hello, and send love or congratulations. There’s a very cool surprise in the die set. You can create a “pull up” tab to reveal a surprise image or sentiment. It’s a fun Bundle with lots of possibilities.

So, let’s make a card!

Parts & Pieces

• I used the Thick Basic White cardstock for the card base. It’s 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ , scored at 4 1/4″ on the long side.
• The Petal Pink patterned paper layer covers the card front. It’s 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″.
• There are two Pool Party cardstock card layers. One is a 3 1/8″ square, and the other is 2 1/8″ x 3 5/8″.
• The floral patterned paper layer is a 3″ square, and the diagonal striped patterned paper layer is 2″ x 3 1/2″.
• The die cut elements are from the dies in the Horray For Surprises Dies.
• I stamped the sentiment with Poppy Parade ink and fussy cut it. The sentiment font is clean and simple.

I stmaped the inside of the card with another sentiment from the stamp set, and added a small stamped image to finish it off.

My last customer catalog mailing is on its way. The Horray For Surprises Bundle in on page 13. If you’ve received your catalog, take a look and imagine what you can create with it.

Stay tuned for more Sneak Peeks in the upcoming week.

So, cut up some “hppy and bright” Designer Series Paper, add some layers, a few die cut elements, and create a card full of smiles and love.

… the only limitation is your imagination!
