I'm so impressed with the Symbols of Fortune Specialty Designer Series Paper in the January-June 2022 Mini catalog.  This paper can be used to create cards even without the coordinating stamp set and dies.  I cased these cards from another demonstrator, Rachel Tessmar from StampYourArtOut.com as the basic idea for creating cards from just the paper.  Instead of stampin' the images, I found images among the prints in the symbols of Fortune Specialty Designer Series Paper, and fussy cut them out of the Designer Series Paper for my cards.  Check out her post for all the cutting dimensions for both her and my cards.  You'll also want to check out the Crane of Fortune Bundle, Item 157663, which includes the Crane of Fortune Stamp Set and the Good Fortune Dies to create even more beautiful cards with the Symbols of Fortune Specialty Designer Series Paper.  These cards fit our standard size Basic White Medium Envelopes, Item 159236.

To create today's card, I used a base card of Evening Evergreen Cardstock. THis base card is cut to5-1/2 X 11", and then scored along the long side at 4", 5-3/4", 7-1/2" and 9-1/4".  The Evening Evergreen Cardstock is such a rich, dark green that you could mistakenly think it is Basic Black from the photo, but I assure you, it is genuinely Evening Evergreen Cardstock.  Then I cut  three 1-1/2 X 5-1/4" panels from one of the Symbols of Fortune Designer Paper to use on the zigzag background folds. I was careful to keep all three strips in the same sequence they appeared on the original 12" X 12" Symbols of Fortune sheet in order to have the patterns match when the background layer was lain flat.  Then I added the 3 X 6 " Evening Evergreen Panel.  This panel was scored at the 3" mark.  I covered one of the 3 X 3 panels with a print from the Symbols of Fortune specialty Designer Series Papers.

For the main image panel (front panel) I first used a Soft Succulent ink pad and a Blending Brush to add a soft background to 2/3rds of the Basic White panel.  Then I added the Basic White panel to the front 3 X 3 Evening Evergreen panel.  To complete the card front image, I fussy cut images from other prints in the Symbols of Fortune Designer Series Papers and i popped them up on Dimensionals before adding them to the card front image.

I finished the card by adding a sentiment from the Flowering Tulips Stamp Set.  It is stamped in Evening Evergreen Ink.
