Playing With Pansy Petals Paper

June 12, 2021 Leave a Comment

For someone who used to rarely buy patterned paper I’ve certainly come a long way. It took me a while, but now I love using it on my projects. The fact that the Designer Series Paper (DSP) from Stampin’ Up! is a heavier weight, and generally printed on both sides makes it a great investment. Recently I showed you a simple card using a non-floral pattern from the Pansy Petals DSP and I realised I’d been avoiding the flowers. So today I’ve decided to remedy that with with this #simplestamping card.

PANSY PETALS DSP

This project really was all about the Pansy Petals DSP but first I needed a card base. So using my Paper Trimmer I cut and scored some Basic White Card. Then I folded it along the scored line and sharpened the crease with a Bone Folder.

Next, from the Pansy Petals DSP pack I chose the spotty pattern and cut a piece 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″. Then I used the DSP to cover the front of the card base, attaching it with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (Tombow).

Next I chose a sheet with small floral images on a Soft Sea Foam coloured background. I cut one piece 2-1/4″ x 6″ and glued it to the flap of a Basic White Medium Envelope. Then I trimmed off the excess with my Paper Snips, using the edge of the flap as a guide.

I cut my second piece of the floral DSP at 1″ x 5-1/4″ and glued it down the right-hand edge of a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Basic White Card. Then I attached a 1/8″ x 5-1/4″ strip of Evening Evergreen Card up against the left edge of the DSP. With that done I fixed the assembled layer inside the card base.

I cut my final piece of the floral pattern at 2″ x 5-1/2″. Then I mounted it onto a 2-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ piece of Evening Evergreen Card using liquid glue. This added a nice contrasting edge, as well as making the DSP a bit more sturdy. Then I fixed the layers to the front of the card base up against the fold.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Now with DSP and layering all done I was just left with the sentiment piece to do. For that I chose “Happy birthday” from the Pansy Patch Stamp Set and Blackberry Bliss ink.

After stamping the sentiment onto a 7/8″ x 2-1/2″ piece of Basic White Card, I mounted it onto a 1-1/8″ x 2-3/4″ layer of Evening Evergreen Card. Then using Stampin’ Dimensionals I attached the layered sentiment to the card front. At this point I thought I was done, put away all the tools and materials I’d used, and went off for dinner.

This morning when I came back to write my blog post I realised I wasn’t entirely happy with the card. It was nice enough, but just seemed unfinished.

So I went back to the Pansy Petals DSP to find some scraps of the floral pattern. Then using Paper Snips I fussy cut some of the individual leaves, yellow flowers and buds from the scraps. Finally, using small dots of liquid glue I added the fussy cut pieces in two clusters around the sentiment. That was the finishing touch I needed and I was finally content with the design.

I’ve often heard it said that “less is more”, but sometimes more is more, and that’s OK. What do you think?
