Awesome Paper Blooms Pocket Card

Have you tried a Pocket Card yet? It has been a long time since I made one. I was reminded of the card style by Debbie Henderson recently. The Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper is one of the items you can get FREE during Sale-a-Bration with a $50 purchase before tax and shipping. That's a value of $11.50!

Pocket Cards are a unique style. They will lean against a prop but won't stand on their own unless you have a very small easel to hold it. But that's okay, right? They are too cute to pass up making one, or several!

Another FREE Sale-a-Bration item used in this card is the Approaching Perfection stamp set. Approximate value $16.00.

The flat inner card pulls out of the "pocket" outer card.

Paper Blooms Fussy Cutting is FUN

If you LOVE Stampin' Up! like I do, then you look forward to Sale-a-Bration all year long. That's when Stampin' Up! gives away beautiful, exclusive products with a $50 purchase before shipping and tax. Shown below is one of those items -- Paper  Blooms Designer Series Paper! The 12 x 12 package with 2 sheets of each double sided design you get would cost $11.50 any other time of the year. That's like a 20% bonus to your order! 

Don't pass this opportunity up!  You can place an online order with me easily by clicking any of the hyperlinks below.

The Sale-a-bration promotion will be ending on February 28.

When I saw this paper, I immediately could envision myself spending an evening with my paper snips watching television to do some fussy cutting of the Night of Navy background sheet of flowers. So that's what I did! Below are two of the cards I made with those fussy cut flowers. I think they look 3D. Do you?

Even though these cards look hard, they are not. Just Stamps, Ink and Paper.

Stamp - Itty Bitty Birthdays

Ink - Night of Navy

Paper/Cardstock - Rococo Rose, Night of Navy, and Basic White

plus the Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper

There are a variety of embellishments you could use. I used "All the Trimmings" that I had left over from the Aug. - Dec. 2020 Mini Catalog. You could use pearls or Elegant Faceted Gems easily.

The Cut Flowers were raised up with Dimensionals and/or Mini Dimensionals.

Place the flowers however they look pleasing to you. That's the fun of being creative.

So I hope these two original designs inspire you to place an order with me and get the Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper FREE! Thank you!

Happy Stamping!
