What to do with the left-over piece of Designer Series Paper from yesterday posted card?

                                                    

  • Another Card idea using Irresistible Blooms
  • All The Little Things April Paper Pumpkin Kit with FREE insert
  • Ready for Fresh New Colors? Say Goodbye to retiring colors
The card I'm showing today uses the left over piece from yesterday's card.  I always have trouble getting the most out of my 6X 6 Designer Series Paper.  Especially if the print includes a design that can only be used in one direction, but with the new Hello, Irresistible 6 X 6" Designer Series Paper, I finally figured out how to get two cards out of one 6" X 6" sheet.  Take a look at yesterday's card.   It uses a 3-1/2 X 4-3/4" piece from one of the prints in the Hello, Irresistible Designer Series Paper.  Then I used the remaining 2-1/2" wide piece for today's card. Yeah!  Two cards out of one 6" X 6" Sheet of Hello, Irresistible Designer Series Paper.  As I mentioned yesterday, the Irresistible Blooms is from the new Online Exclusive Stamp Sets.  This is a section of the Stampin' Up! web site where Stampin' Up! will feature products that will not appear in any catalog.  They will only be offered through the Online Exclusives section of the Stampin' Up! store.  I'm again using the Irresistible Blooms Stamp Set and the Hello, Irresistible 6" X 6" Designer Series Paper.  This is part of an entire collection called Hello, Irresistible Suite Collection.  Today's card pairs the Designer Series paper with Basic White, Flirty Flamingo and Petal Pink.  It also uses some Gold Fine Shimmer 12 X 12 Paper from the January - April 2023 Mini Catalog.  I used the Loose Frosted Dots from this suite and I used more Metallic Blushing Bride Ribbon.  You'll enjoy creating cards with this irresistible collection. 

 
Greeting card using Stampin' Up! Irresistible Blooms Stamp Set


The basecard for today's card is Petal Pink Cardstock.  Then I created a Basic  White matte for the Hello, Irresistible 6" X 5" Designer Series Paper. Then, to add a bit of interest to the flowers, I added two dragonflies using Gold Fine Shimmer 12 X 12 Paper from the January - April 2023 Mini Catalog.

I used the Dragonflies Punch to punch my gold Dragonflies.  I used the Stylish Shape Dies to create a Basic White Label for my sentiment.  I added a small strip of Flirty Flamingo Cardstock behind my sentiment label.

To finish my card, I stamped the Hello sentiment from the Irresistible Blooms Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  Then I added a ribbon of Metallic Brushing Bride Ribbon, and added a few of the Flirty Flamingo Loose Frosted Dots.
