Today's project is one I made for two reasons.  One was to feature the Delightfully Eclectic designer paper in my weekly Live video and the other was for my Flowerbug's Team monthly card swap. 

It's sweet & summery!

You might wonder where I got these shapes & flowers.  Well they are both from a sheet in the Delightfully Eclectic designer paper seen here.  Here's what the full sheet looks like:

And the best part?  The new Inked & Tiled punch pack matches this paper perfectly with very little waste! 

The punches are in a bundle with the Inked & Tiled stamp set here.  

Save

My card base is the beautiful new Bubble Bath pink.  I added a layer of Garden Green 3 7/8" C 2 5/8".  That is added to a Scalloped Contours die-cut measuring 4 1/2" X 3 1/8".  

The greeting is heat embossed in White powder on a strip of Garden Green. Then I cut it into a 1/2" strip and used one of the punches to get that cute greeting shape.  

Save

This is one of the reasons I ordered these punches; for greetings.  But they sure make a sweet card front too.

I think you could use other small images, stamped or designer paper, and do this same thing!

Below are all three of the cards I share in the video. Scroll down a bit or watch it here.

Here's the link to see a recent video featuring this card.  I also make two other cards made with the Delightfully Eclectic designer paper.

  This fun fold might look difficult but if you watch the video here you'll find it's quite easy.  It involves a bit of scoring and trimming. The diagonal square layer is separate from the card base.  The designer paper is the Merry, Bold & Bright seen here.  I'm featuring it in one of my pre-cut card kits to go this month; click here to see it. 

  The inside layer is textured with the Christmas Tidings embossing folder seen here.  It's retiring and discounted.
