Double the Inspiration with Poetic Petals

I had so much fun creating these two cards using the Poetic Petals Bundle and different patterns of Designer Series Paper! I love how the delicate floral die cuts really stand out against the colorful backgrounds. By simply changing the paper, colors, and greetings, you can create cards for so many different occasions!

One of my favorite things about Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper is how easy it makes coordinating colors and patterns. So, before you start your next card, take a look through your collection of Designer Series Paper. You might be surprised at what you already have that would be perfect for this design!

Now it’s your turn to get creative! Choose your favorite paper, grab your dies, and see how many different looks you can create with the same design. I’d love to see what you come up with!

8. Adhere the front Basic White sentiment piece to the coordinating cardstock and adhere to the front of the card.
