Stamping Sunday Blog Hop Sale a Bration Favorites 2021

For my Sale a Bration product focus, I chose the 12″ x 12″ Paper Blooms Designer Paper. It is FREE during January and February with a $50 purchase in my store.
The color combo in this paper is great. And there are patterns that can work for both masculine and feminine cards.
I’ve had fun allowing this favorite to play a starring role in today’s card designs.
Paper Blooms Card 1

This design in the Paper Blooms is great because it has the look of a watercolor background without any of the time needed to create it!

The Night of Navy die cut made with the Flowering Vines Die makes a perfect layer to show off the paper. The intricate die cut allows plenty of peeks at the colors behind.

For the sentiment, I used the Vine Design stamp set that bundles with the Flowering Vine Dies. Then I accented with Night of Navy Ribbon from the Playing with Patterns Combo Pack and Gold Trim from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack. And of course there’s some bling added using Gilded Gems ans Whale of Time Sequins.
Paper Blooms Card 2

For the second, I also let the designer paper do a lot of the creative work for me! So again, there is minimal stamping. It’s all about the details.

Using my Paper Snips, I cut a string of flowers from the designer paper. It forms the focal image for the card. Behind it, I’ve used Stampin’ Blends to create a watercolor look background. So easy!

Then, I added a sentiment from the Many Messages stamp and cut with the Messages Die. It is accented with a Seaside Spray die cut and some Seaside Spray Scalloped Linen Ribbon. And to embellish, I added combination of Elegant Faceted Gems and Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

Great use of the FREE SAB Paper Blooms DSP Sara. Love how you showed versatility by using it as a background on the 1st card and decorative element on the 2nd.
Thanks, Jay! You’re so right about the versatility of the Paper Blooms designer paper. It can be used so many different ways and for so many different types of cards.
Stunning projects Sara, I love how you’ve used the DSP in both cards and the colours are gorgeous.
Thanks, Vicki! I’m trying to work designer paper into my cards in different ways.
Wow, Sara! Such wonderful detail with this FREE paper! I hadn’t noticed the paper with circles until seeing your card!
