Notice the similarity between today’s card and yesterday’s card? The Designer Series Paper (DSP) in the background is the same pattern, but different colors. Another thing they have in common is their simplicity of design. The DSP does most of the talking. Today I’ve paired the new Big Wishes stamp set with Garden Impressions DSP and a new color, Mango Melody. Using the premade Note Cards & Envelopes makes card making especially quick and easy. What do you think?

Here’s what I made:

Here’s what I did:

Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:

• Mango Melody card stock (CS) cut to 4-3/4″ x 3-1/4″ 
• Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper (DSP) layer cut to 4-1/5″ x 3″
• Mango Melody (CS) layer cut to 4″ x 2″
• Whisper White CS layer cut to 3-3/4″ x 1-3/4″
• DSP cut to 5-1/2″ x 2″, for the envelope

Stamped with the Big Wishes stamp set:

• sentiment in Mango Melody ink onto the Whisper White CS layer

Assembled the card:

• burnished the fold in the Whisper White note card base with a Bone Folder
• larger Mango Melody CS layer glued onto the front of the note card base
• DSP layer glued onto the larger Mango Melody CS layer
• smaller Mango Melody CS layer glued onto the DSP layer
• sentiment glued onto the smaller Mango Melody CS layer
• remaining DSP glued to the flap of the envelope, lining up one long edge with the fold in the flap, then trimmed around the edges using Paper Snips
• applied 3 pearls to the DSP layer
