Are you in the middle of that time of year when all is gray and soggy and cold? If so, or if you just need some sunshine in your heart, I have something that might help. The Dandy Designs 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper pack can be earned FREE during Sale-A-Bration when your product order reaches at least $100. This pack has 48 double-sided sheets (four of each design), with colors like Balmy Blue, Calypso Coral, Fresh Freesia, Granny Apple Green, Mango Melody, and Petal Pink. Look here:
These fresh and playful patterns can be used in a variety of ways. You’ve seen them in this post and this one, and although the patterns I used in those examples were more conservative, here’s just how fun these Dandy Designs can be:
There’s something very appealing about these two-step flowers in Love for You, and they’re simple to fussy cut if you don’t want to spend time getting the dies in perfect position. Each of the flowers is stamped in a single color — the darker image first, then the larger image of that flower after inking up and stamping off. I simply scribbled an oval in the center of each flower with a Stampin’ Blends marker, although there is a tiny stamp for that purpose.
And speaking of the Love for You dies, they’re pretty remarkable. Here I stamped on a scrap of Basic White, then used what I call the “bubble outline” die. That gave plenty of white space to create some breathing room on the card front. However, there are also tighter outline dies for the words and dies of the words themselves. I suggest backing your cardstock with a piece of Adhesive Sheet before cutting the delicate words — it makes positioning (and repositioning) the die cut so much easier!
