Four Seasons Designer Paper: Summer

Brrr! With all the ice outside, I wanted to look at something warm! Hope you are all safe and cozy inside!

This card and envelope are made with the Four Seasons Designer Series Double Sided Paper, the Summer one. It has little white butterflies floating all over it plus the word "summer" printed subtly in the background. Coordinating cardstocks of Pumpkin Pie and Marigold Morning make this a welcome and cheery ensemble. The front of the small Marigold card on the front is stamped with the butterfly stamp from the Perennial Favorites set. The tie closure for the envelope was made by punching a 1/2" circle and adhering it with a gold mini brad.

The next post will show the reverse side of the envelope and the open card. Remember you can click on any picture to see a larger version.

This view shows the front of the envelope embellished with a stamped and cut-out butterfly. The card front is open also.

These envelopes and cards are unique, attractive and quite easy to make with the Card Cover template and the double-sided Designer papers!

Stay warm! It's a great time to stamp! :D)

Four Seasons Designer Paper

New sizes of hand-crafted cards are turning up everywhere!
This lovely card and matching envelope was
made using the Four Seasons double sided paper (pg. 207 of the catalog), stripe on one side and delicate snowflakes on the other! The Perennial Favorites, set of 4 (pg. 138) coordinates perfectly with this pack of papers and features a snowflake, leaf, flower and butterfly with the name of the appropriate season beneath the image.
The Flannel Plaid stamp (pg. 170) was used as the background for the card and both the 1 1/4" and 1 3/8" circle punches were used for the tag and circles. Navy squares were punched with the 1 3/8" square punch. Grosgrain ribbon and silver eyelets and cord add just the right finishing touches.

Hope you are having a good day! I'm off to the grocery to lay in supplies for the icy weekend that the weatherman is predicting! Stay warm and Stamp!! : )
