In today’s post, I use one of the sale papers — Mediterranean Blooms — to create a card that showcases the pretty patterned paper. I love both sides of this 12 x 12 paper, so I made one card for each side. And, I love this layout because it can be used with any Designer Series Paper, stamp set, and embellishments.

Hello, stampers! This is my last post celebrating Christmas in July. I’m kind of sad! I’ve been having so much fun with Stampin’ Up!’s Greetings of the Season Bundle and the gorgeous Season of Green & Gold 12 x 12 Specialty Designer Series Paper. Seriously, this paper is amazing with its gold foil sheets and gold accents. And, the stamp set offers a mix-and-match approach, where you can “build” exactly what you want to say.
Find these new offerings on my online store by clicking here.
Today, I add Stampin’ U!’s Pocket Thoughts Dies to the mix. This three-die set allows you to add pockets on your card — on front or in the middle — to hold gift cards or tags with messages.
I created two separate cards using the patterned paper, but experimented with Night of Navy and Gold Foil. Which is your favorite?
