Today’s card is a CASE (Copy And Selectively Edit) from the Annual Catalog. The catalog card is a Slimline card. My card is an A-2 (4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″), and I changed the sentiment and sentiment focal point punched layers by using different patterns from the Inked Botanicals 6″x 6″ Designer Series Paper.
I was attracted to the Inked Botanicals Suite as soon as I saw it. I especially love the images and clean sentiment fonts in the Inked & Tiled Stamp Set. This Suite includes a stamp and punch Bundle. The punches caught my eye also. There are a lot of fun projects you can complete with these punches. Who doesn’t love a unique punch Bundle?

You can download the PDF Tutorial below for more pictures and details on putting this card together.
I cut a Very Vanilla cardstock card base 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ and scored it at 4 1/4″ on the 8 1/2″ side.
The Crushed Curry patterned paper layer is 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″. It covers the card front.
The Lost Lagoon patterned paper layer is 5 1/4″ x 2 1/2″.
The top Very Vanilla cardstock layer is 4 1/2″ x 3″.
The stamped images are stamped off once using Lost Lagoon, Crushed Curry and Calypso Coral ink.
I punched two “star” shapes directly from the Designer Series Paper.
The sentiment, stamped with Lost Lagoon ink, is punched with the “star” shaped punch.

I love the colors in the Inked Boanicals Designer Series Paper. Although I’ve used three colors, Pool Party and Petal Pink (the lighter versions of Calypso Coral and Lost Lagoon), give a more subtle look to the Suite’s color palette.
Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper
I just realized something about todsy’s colors… Lost Lagoon and Calypso Coral are “Complementary Colors” (they’re opposite on the Color Wheel), along with a “yellow” (Crushed Curry). Here’s the rule: When in doubt, go with a yellow”! It works!
OK, I promise, no more rules!
So, pull out that fabulous Product Suite, stamp some pretty botanical images, add a layered sentiment cluster and a beautiful ribbon, and create something to say “hello” to a treasured friend!

I thought Boho Blue was my favorite new In Color with Wild Wheat in second place. After putting this card together, I’m certain Wild Wheat is number one. It’s beautiful and works in so many color combinations. Today’s color inspiration is Pretty Peacock, Wild Wheat, and Moody Mauve. Tucked in between the die cuts is a splash of Copper Clay.
I’m showcasing the new Timeless Arrangements Bundle. The Timeless Arrangements stamp set is a sentiment “builder” set with a mixed font. There are six small image stamps that can work with your project as an accent or focal point. The Timeless Arrangements Dies have planty of sprig and leaf dies, but are unique in that there are dies with sprigs and leaves on a bar strip, making it easy to layer the elements. I’ll illustrate this below and you’ll see how I used them in the downloadable Tutorial that is also below.
Today’s Parts & Pieces
I cut a Pretty Peacock cardstock card base 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ and scored at 4 1/4″ on the 8 1/2″ side.
The Wild Wheat cardstock mat layer is 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″.
The Designer Series Paper layer is 4″ x 5 1/4″. It’s from the Fresh As A Daisy DSP pack.
I cut two Wild Wheat cardstock strips 1/2″ x 4″. These will be used to mount the die cut elements.
You can use one and place your elements on the back side of the strip. Whatever works best for you.
Die cut the elemtnts using Wild Wheat, Moody Mauve, Very Vanilla and Copper Clay cardstock.
Adhere the elements to the Wild Wheat cardstock strip. (Details for this are shown on the PDF Tutorial below).
I cut a 4″ x 5 1/4″ Very Vanilla catdstock layer for the inside.
You can click the button below to download a copy of the PDF Tutorial. It shows, in detail, how I put this together.
This design required a lot of die cutting. It was fun to “arrange” all of the elements and see the results. With the way the Timeless Arrangements Dies are designed, you will have a perfect outcome each time you use them.
So, find that great piece of patterned paper, pick your element colors, add a sentiment and create something to send some special gratitude.

In my last post, I featured the Gate Fold Fun Fold Friendly Gnomes Card. I very much enjoyed putting that card together, so I created a second and third version. I put together the second version using the Fancy Flora Designer Series Paper with Orchid Oasis cardstock as my base color. In my third version, I used the Hello, Irresistible Designer Series Paper with Blushing Bride cardstock as my base color. I truly can’t decide which version I like best. Which is your favorite.
This is such a simple fun fold to put together. I went ahead and created a PDF Tutorial you can download by clicking the blue button below.
Along with the Tutorial, I decided to create a Video Tutorial. Click on the video linked below, grab your paper trimmer and some fun Designer Series Paper, coordinating cardstock, and a focal point shape, and create this card along with me. I would love to share how I did it with you.
All three versions of this card are identical in design. The difference is the Designer Series Paper, Focal Point, and colors.
So, let’s create this card together. I hope you enjoy putting this design together as much as I did.

Do you remember the Ranunculus Romance stamp set? It’s in the current Annual Catalog on page 97. It’s been around for a while. When I first saw it, I knew I had to have it. However, I didn’t give it the design it deserved. This stamp set is perfect for a stamm and ink collage.
There’s quite a bit of ink spread on this die cut tag. To make it easier for you to create your version of this card, I put together a quick PDF Tutorial you can follow. The download is linked to the blue button below.

When I received my Irresistible Blooms Bundle, I didn’t study the Hello, Irresistible Designer Series Paper. Wow! It’s beautiful. I put this card together in less than 10 minutes. The DSP did all the work!
When I saw this design, I thought of the Book Binding Fun Fold template. It worked beautifully. I used 1/8″ thin layers because I wanted a small amount of white around the pretty patterned paper. I cut my layers and assembled the card in about the same time it took to match up a ribbon and tie the bow!
Let’s make a card. You can download the PDF Tutorial by clicking the button below.
