Parker’s Pattern

The Parker’s Pattern Designer Series Paper immediately caught my eye when the Spring Catalog was first published.  It took me a while to get to it as there were so many occasions that needed to be addressed first.  My April Stamp Camp featured two cards using this Designer Series Paper and I couldn’t decide which one I liked best.  Neither could my customers.

You could use a variety of the sentiments from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set to adapt the occassion.

Oh Hello

 Counted cross-stitching used to be one of my favorite crafts.  Unfortunately I can’t see well enough anymore for that kind of detail.  (One of the reasons I love stamping is that you don’t  have to have 20/10 vision).  Now Stampin’ UP! has a new embossing folder that does the cross-stitching for us.  What a great way to add subtle dimension to a card.

I stamped the oval pattern directly on to the cardstock on this card.  At my stamp camp, I reduced the risk for my customers (and friends) by offering scrap cardstock and the Oval Framelit to create the background.   Some took advantage and some made the bold move.  Either way, the card is delightful.
