Can you remember the 1st time that you looked through the new catalog when it was unveiled? I always play a game with myself and pick my top 3….totally off of a "gut instinct" and my instinct was that this bundle, Flower Patch was one that I knew had to find its way to my house!
Now that we are into Fall some people might think that flowers should be in the pinks, yellows, lavender etc…but you can make a flower any color that your little heart desires! I think that my card today is a perfect example of just that!
The inspiration for this card came from the Color me Autumn Designer Series Paper and then I chose the colors of my ink! The ink colors I used were Cajun Craze, Cushed Curry, Cherry Cobbler and Always Artichoke!
NOTE: – When you look at the colors that are to coordinate with the DSP – Always Artichoke is not one of them…this is a personal preference…it's always fun to play with color!
I receive many emails from people that find it hard to use our Designer Series Paper as a focal part to a card so I thought that I would highlight this today to share with you how a busy print can work! Look at how darn simple this card is!
Having the solid strip down the left side, I felt that it needed something….BINGO….fussy cut out the diamonds in the DSP….PRESTO – it worked like a charm!
The above picture is a great view of the layers that I used…stampin' dimensionals and then a glue dot helped layered this beautiful fall flower and then the "cherry on top" was the simple Regal Candy Dot!
The sentiment is from the Good Greeting Stamp Set, the freebie that Stampin' Up! will send your way with a $300.00 order or you can easily have an online event! Love the different fonts!
A quick stamp on a scrap of paper and then "snipping" it and then layering a piece of Cajun Craze…did the trick! When I looked at it – I thought that the white piece was too wide so I did my simple dots!
Pulling out my "Main Stampin' Man"….Mr. Big Shot – a quick run with the Envelope Liner Framelits gave my envelope the love for the day!
Please make sure that you pop back tomorrow for 2 reasons:
- I will be offering the October Stamp of the Month Club…and
- Stampin' Up! has an amazing offering for YOU and ME with Designer Series Paper (hmmm…notice how DSP works….another reason I did this card today!
Thanks for your time today and please share my daily blog with family and friends! I am pleased to offer another Kit for you and from the feedback that I have received from the 1st one…people enjoyed it!
I am an email away and have a fabulous day! Until tomorrow!
Great card! I’ve been thinking about making fall-colored mums out of that stamp set! Now you’ve shown me that I was on the right track!
Have a great day!
Cyberhugs!
Oh Susan, I love this card. The DSP is great. The flowers are so fall-ish! Love everything about this card.

Thanks for the inspiration Susan…you are so talented!
Really cute card Susan…Thanks again, you always come through with a good idea!
When I opened this email, my first reaction was, “oooo, I really like that!” But I don’t have that stamp set! I think I just might have to order it!!! Thanks for more great examples, Susan!
You have such a great eye for design. It’s simple and clean, but in this case very colorful with the DSP.
Well done, Susan—again!
You have sold me on this DSP now! Another thing to add to my order.
Your card is just beautiful!
