I recently took part in a card swap with other Stampin’ Up Leaders. It was so much fun to receive 20 cards back from demonstrators around the world! I made 20 of these, and sent them in to be exchanged for all the lovely cards I received!

I used a card base of the new Pale Papaya, along with a second Papaya panel that I embossed with the Ornate Flowers Embossing Folder. I then cut out two panels using the Color & Contour dies – one in white, and one with the decorative Hand-Penned Designer Series Papers.

I then stamped a floral pattern on the white panel of cardstock, and used the coordinating stamps in Pale Papaya and Soft Succulent to stamp the leaves and flowers. Notice how the stamps the ‘fill in’ with color are not exact, and create a soft splash of color – I love it!


Above, feast your eyes on the gorgeous papers in the Hand-Penned Designer Series collection. I love every. single. one. And I love how they feature our new 2021-23 in Colors so beautifully!
I attached the two panels of paper onto my card base, and then used a little 3/8″ Soft Succulent ribbon behind a rectangular sentiment panel. I finished it off with two Genial Gems embellishments, and I was done!
