Create With Connie & Mary Saturday Blog Hop

Favorite New Sale-A-Bration Designer Paper!

Welcome to our Saturday Blog Hop at Create With Connie & Mary! I hope you have been enjoying our new Mini Catalog and also earning free products during our Sale-A-Bration period. Our team is featuring our favorite Sale-A-Bration Designer Paper this week and mine is the Favored Flowers as you can see here on both of my cards:

I ended up cutting a layer of the designer paper to measure 4″ x 4″ and cutting it diagonally to end up with two pieces for two cards! Take a peek at these photos and then I’ll list the steps for you:

Stampin’ Up! Products Used:

• Stamps: Go To Greetings
• Inks: Tuxedo Black Memento Ink
• Cardstock: Fresh Freesia
• Designer Paper: Favored Flowers
• Tools & Accessories: Fresh Freesia Open Weave Ribbon, Opaque Adhesive-Backed Gems, Stampin’ Dimensionals

Card Recipe:

• Card Base: Two Fresh Freesia Cardstock pieces 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″. Score and fold both at 4-1/4″.
• Layer #2: Two Fresh Freesia Cardstock pieces 5-1/4″ x 4″. Stamp the sentiment at the top left corner on one layer and the bottom right corner on the 2nd piece using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. Set aside.
• Layer #3: Favoring Flowers Designer Paper 4″ x 4″. Use a pencil to add a 1″ mark at the top right and bottom left. Cut diagonally and glue to both Layer 2’s.
• Ribbon: Wrap the ribbon placed on the front and glued to the back of each layer positioned next to the designer paper.
• Glue cardstock to card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals on both card bases.
• Bling: Add Opaque Adhesive-Backed Gems to the background of both cards.
