Pattern Party Paper Strip Congratulations

 Greetings!

Today is a day for a quick and easy card!  

The new Pattern Party HOST Designer Series Paper (FREE with $180 purchase) is a spectacular variety of colorful prints and patterns with the reverse sides being black and white patterns.  This pack of 48 12" x 12" sheets will see you through a year's worth of cards!  

For today's card I selected a few colored prints and patterns cut into strips ranging from 1/4" to 3/4" wide in random lengths to cover the front of the card. Red Rhinestone basic jewels scattered about add sparkle and even more pops of color.


Colorful, Fun and Easy with a Celebratory Vibe

The congratulations is done by repeatedly stamping the word on a piece of cardstock and cutting them into individual strips.  Paper Snips are the perfect tool to provide a crisp clean cut.  

The inside of the card carries through the paper strip design and a message that perfectly accompanies the style.  The sentiment and message are both from the Woodland Wonder stamp set. This stamp set is Photopolymer which is transparent, allowing for precise alignment.


A Cheerful Message to Brighten Someone's Day

Next time you want to send someone a quick hello and don't have time to make a complicated card, remember how easy this card is.  Grab your beautiful Designer Series Papers, or even a combination of solid color cardstock and printed papers, arrange them to your liking, add a quick message and you have a card ready to brighten someone's day.
