Pressed Petals for the Pals Blog Hop

Welcome to the Pals’ July  Blog Hop! We’re so glad you’re here because we made some great projects that are “Mixing It Up” –  adding texture that will really take your projects up a notch – or two! You may be starting the hop here or coming from a previous Pal’s blog. Either way, you’ve come to the right place. You’ll find the full line-up below to help you move, or “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

I love adding texture to my cards! It adds so much visual interest and it truly makes the difference between handmade and Hallmark! But adding texture doesn’t mean it has to be difficult to construct. This card was easy-peasy with the help of some beautiful Stampin’ Up! products.

I started with a base card of Rich Razzleberry cardstock. To that I added a Crumb Cake layer that I ran through my Big Shot with the Corrugated Embossing Folder. Next a 4-3/8″ x 3-1/2″ layer of Very Vanilla.

The top layer of my card is the impressive piece. It was the easiest of all because it is a pre-printed sheet of Pressed Petals Designer Series Paper! Four sheets in this pack of gorgeous papers have several card cuts of pretty designs you simply cut out and glue onto your project. Take a look ~

I used the piece in the middle.

The final embellishment on the card is a flower created with Washi Tape. This is the coolest “tape” I’ve ever seen! Pull the little individual petals off and arrange them around a small circle of cardstock to create a flower. A coordinating Designer Element sticks in the center and the whole thing is glued down on the card. Beautiful!

You can get some of this paper for yourself by clicking HERE to link to my online store. All of the products I’ve used will be at the very bottom of this post and also linked to my store. Meanwhile, enjoy the Hop, then come back to Shop! 🙂
