Less than 1 week to go until the new catalog goes live! There is lots of new and awesome products in the new catalog but one item that is not carrying over is the Fancy Flora Designer Series Paper. I used a template that I found somewhere online. I cannot remember where I saw it so I can give credit to them. This template uses the whole sheet of 6 x 6 paper to make three cards. You can use any 6 x 6 DSP to make these three cards. I know you have lots of it stashed away so use it. There is someone out there that says Use It, Chop It! Thanks Kylie! I agree, chop it up and use it. It is hard sometimes to make that first cut. Here are my three cards.

And here is the template.

Make the first cut on the right hand side of your 6 x 6 DSP by cutting off 1 1/4″ and then cutting that in half. Next cut 2″ off the bottom. You are left with a square that you cut off two 1″ strips. There you have it, six pieces to design your cards. Here are my three as an example.

I used my very most favorite ink Evening Evergreen that is retiring and the Sentimental Park dies that will be back in the new catty! So sad but there are lots of new pretty colors coming next week with the color refresh.

My card base is Calypso Coral with Blushing Bride as the other color on the card fronts. I die cut the main pieces from Basic White and the flowers from Calypso Coral, Blushing Bride and Pool Party. The embellishments are the Iridescent Pearls. Did you see that the Basic Pearls are retiring? That is one thing I thought would never go away. I will put them with my Stamp set Lovely as a Tree. Never say never!

Here are the products that I used. If you want Sentimental Park as a bundle and Evening Evergreen ink pad get them before next week.

If you create one of these cards please email me a picture of your card.
