I couldn’t resist buying this designer paper Saturday. I went shopping because I needed to get new blades for my paper cutter. Well no matter how many times I tell myself when I walk through the door, ‘I will walk PAST the designer paper. I will NOT stop. I will NOT look.’ I always do, and I always find some that I just HAVE to have. This paper is from one of those great big pads with a whole collection of papers in different patterns in coordinating colors. They sure do make beautiful rich easy backgrounds. Yummy!
As soon as I got home I stole up to my craft room and made a couple of cards. Besides the sentiments, I stamped a row of fleur de lee flourishes at the top of the saffron panel on the burgundy card. On the saffron card the main image is stamped in craft ink.
Stamps: So Saffron Card Sentiment from Rubber Moon and main image from Crafty Secrets Clear Art Stamps “Frame It”; Bravo Burgundy Card Sentiment and Fleur de Lee from See D’s “Phrases Collection” and “Victorian Flourishes”
Paper: So Saffron, Bravo Burgundy, DP from K & Company
Ink: Bravo Burgundy Classic and Craft
Accessories: Bravo Burgundy GG Ribbon, Satin Roses, Rhinestone Brads, Always Artichoke Brads, Circle Punches
That paper is beautiful, these cards are georgeous.
Stunning cards! They’re both so rich and luxurious and have a gorgeous vintage look to them. Nice job!!
Simply beautiful !! The colors are so rich !!
There seems to be no end to your creativity! These are beautiful cards…but Susan, seriously, you’ve got to stop talking about me….”…beautiful rich easy…” you make me blush!
Same thing here when it comes to DSP… don’t pass by that aisle and or don’t even look..yeah right! Love both of your cards, they’re beautiful!
Just beautiful!!! I love the deep warm colors. These are very pretty papers.
These cards truly are beautiful! The colors are so rich! I am using DP on my cards more often, but I don’t think I’ve been able to make them look this good! *sigh* maybe some day when I grow up! 😉
These cards are gorgeous. They’re very old fashioned and rich looking.
These are gorgeous! And LOL, I know what you mean about finding the DP hard to resist – especially gorgeous K&Co stuff like this!
These cards are so lovely! I hope I can find that DP! Do you have the name of the K&Co pad? I’d love to find it! Jeanne
So rich and elegant. Both cards are gorgeous.
These cards are so elegant. Gorgeous colors and paper! (I have a hard time resisting pattern paper too.) The images, layouts, and all your details are perfect together. TFS! Pat
I can see why you couldn’t resist! The colors and designs are gorgeous, and so are your cards they inspired. At least you made something right away with your new papers. I should try that once in a while! :o) Linda
Loved your DP story…you run to it, I run away from it as I’m still trying to work with the stuff. Having just “one creative gene” does hinder one’s ability!! Lovely cards and I really like the layout of the one on the left.
Gorgeous!!! WOW!!! (None of us can escape the PP! lol. I always say it makes me a lazy stamper, but I love it anyway!)
Both of these are beautiful!! Love the paper too!!
Yes, sigh…I know, I know… Good for you, using your new papers right away. I should learn something from you. These are so gorgeous. I love the vintage feel and beautiful layouts.
