Hello, hello, hello!

Does this card appear to have been stamped by moi?  If you guessed YES, you are partially right!  Ding ding ding! If you said, no…but the “hello” is, you’re right! 🙂  This is our beautiful NEW Garden Impressions designer series paper! Looks like stamping, don’t you think?  Isn’t it lovely to fullest extent of lovely?? It’s so pretty!!!!

HELLO everyone, my sweet readers!  Happy Wednesday!

Today’s card features some really beautiful summery pattern paper (dsp, remember it is “coined” as such in Stampin’ Up! as “designer series paper” and since our new catalog made its spectacular debut, the patterned papers are luscious!!  I am SO excited to start using them because they’re versatile to suit everyone’s color palette and the designs are just fabulous!  I will be showcasing these beauties on my projects all year long so get ready!

I confess.  I am a paper lover/in some mind’s a paper “hoarder” as I love paper, card stock, love it all so much, I sometimes just “hate to chop it” and create with it because I love to sit and stare at all their fab beauty so “I save it” for that “special” occasion because I just know I will “need it for later” and then I never use it!  Do you feel this way, too, about all the gorgeous Stampin’ Up! pattern papers??!!!

Well, I have finally turned over a “new leaf!”   I’m going to USE it and SHARE it with all of YOU! In order to make this incredible step, I have to chop it!  (a sweet demo in Australia, Kylie uses this term, I love it!) So I’ve “chopped this one” and it was easy to do because I love all the fantastic colors and wanted to share with you its beauty, too!

Would you just look at this beautiful layered piece I used today? It comes from the 6 X 6 card stack called Garden Impressions in the Annual Brand New catalog!  There are 48 sheets, 4 each of double sided designs!!  Woo hoo, I love 6 X 6 sized paper, too!

So, here’s Debbie’s deeeetails!

• Night of Navy card base – 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″
• Whisper white – 5-3/8″ x 4-1/8″
• Garden Impressions DSP –  5-1/4″ x 4″

I used the Darling Label punch (NEW! Darling Label punch box pg. 44 AC) to punch out the “hello” sentiment on whisper white and then layered the NEW Shaded Spruce color and Melon Mambo using the awesome stitched framelits and used the bottom layer from the layered squares! Popped it all up using the mini and regular sized dimensionals and attached the sweet little Night of Navy twine bow (also new!) and voila, done!  Almost like magic! Don’t you love quick and simple??!!  I knew you did! 🙂 Meeee, too! I just let the Garden Impression paper do the talkin’!  Packs a punch, don’t you think and HOW EASY it was to pull it all together!

I can’t help myself, I love finishing envelopes with a liner meaning when the recipient opens their happy mail, I have lined the envie with coordinating card stock or dsp that matches the card either in color or design and it really makes it complete.  This year in our brand new catalog there is an envelope liner in the Beautiful Layers thinlits!  I am doing the happy dance!

Look here! The envelope liner is the BACK SIDE of the front paper on my card today!  Isn’t it beautiful, too??!!! Love the 48 sheets pack! So much value that goes a long way for your paper crafting needs! 🙂

Here’s the inside sentiment, it’s from the lovely Accented Blooms stamp set, love the fonts!
