The Beauty of Floral Romance Specialty Designer Series Paper

Have you seen the Floral Romance Specialty Designer Series Paper on page 11 in the Stampin’ Up! Occasions Catalog?  It is a gorgeous paper!  The beauty of the Floral Romance Specialty Designer Series Paper is the elegant design.  In my opinion, the catalog photos do not do justice for the paper!  A vellum print from the designer paper creates the primary background layer on the card below.   The Floral Romance Suite includes the Wonderful Romance bundle with the Wonderful Romance Stamp Set and Wonderful Framelits Dies.  The sentiment and coordinating leaf embellishments are easily stamped and cut using the Wonderful Romance bundle.   The beauty of the Floral Romance Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) is that you do not need to add a lot of embellishment…let the paper be the feature!

Alternate Pumpkin Cards

With all the products included in the Paper Pumpkin box each month, you can create alternate pumpkin cards.  I like to experiment with the products and see what else I can come up with.  There is nothing wrong with thinking outside the box, so see what you can come up with too.  You will have so much fun doing it. 

Here are a few I put together.  It’s an adorable stamp set and creates the perfect cards for children to take to school. 

 

If you are not a subscriber of Paper Pumpkin, you can sign up here.  It’s always a nice surprise when that box arrives.  I take it into my craft room and put my creativity to work. I wish Paper Pumpkin was around when I first started crafting.  It’s a great way to help bring your creativity to life.
