Ink. Stamp. Share. July Showcase Blog Hop

Today I am taking part in the Ink. Stamp. Share. July Showcase Blog Hop and I love taking part in this blog hop as it gives me an opportunity to explore and create with new products. Our wonderful Design Team members will be sharing what they are currently working on to help inspire you to get creative this Summer.

I recently ordered the new Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper and I wanted to create a clean and simple card with one of the designs. This pretty daisy pattern felt like the perfect background for a Summer card design and I paired it with one of the sentiments from the Layering Leaves stamp set and the coordinating Bough Punch. The Parakeet Party leaves add a wonderful pop of color and the Gold embossing for the sentiment helps step up this simple design. I love creating cards that let the designer series paper do all the hard work to create beautiful designs.

This pretty card is so simple to create and works well for a variety of occasions. I love that the Layering Leaves stamp set has a variety of sentiments to choose from to help you create beautiful cards. I chose to use Thick Basic White cardstock for the card base to help make the designer series paper card front pop. I heat embossed the sentiment onto the circle die cut for a touch of elegance and added it to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals over a piece of the pretty White Glittered Organdy Ribbon. I added the die cut leaves and buds underneath the circle before I attached the circle to the card front. I love how the Parakeet Party cardstock looks with the Petal Pink background and white daisies. To finish off the design, I added several Gold Pearls from the Festive Pearls for a touch of bling. This simple layout would work well with so many of the designs in the Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper pack and is a great way to create a stash of cards suitable for a variety of occasions.
