The Birthday Basics Designer Series Paper is unlike any other….it is bright and cheery and playful on one side and the other side is very elegant, rich, and beautiful! I love that in a pack of paper because there are so many ways to use it – kids birthday cards, anyone’s birthday card, sympathy, Mother’s Day, Wedding, etc. Here are a few samples I have made showing both sides of this amazing paper!!!!

Love this card with those rich colors and beautiful flowers! I used the Delightful Dozens Stamp Set for the greeting and the Decorative Label Punch! For that amazing ribbon, I just took some Seam Binding and pulled one of the middle strings which then makes it begin to gather! Be sure not to pull too hard because the entire sting with pull out. Once you get half way across, stop and pull a different one on the opposite side. This will help it to not pull out. For the bow, I made loops and then secured the center with a Antique Brad!

I love the bright and cheery look of this card! I used the Decorative Label Punch and Bring On The Cake Stamp Set for the greeting! For the bow, I placed a piece of 4-1/2″ Organza Ribbon across my card and adhered the ends to the back of the Designer Series Paper. I then took another 4″ piece and added a dab of adhesive in the middle and then brought the 2 ends that middle dab of glue and stuck them down! Then taking another ~2″ piece, wrap it around the center to cover those ends! Perfect little bow and it won’t add any bumps to your card for mailing!!! Here is another close up photo of the bow!

Come back tomorrow for more samples using the Birthday Basics Designer Series Paper!!!

Happy Stampin’
