Mother's Day will be here before we know it! Time to start making those cards.
White heat embossing on black card stock gives such an elegant look to your sentiment.
This was a simple card to put together because I let the Designer Series Paper do the work! Simply cut it to your desired size and mount on a piece of coordinating card stock that is either a 1/4 or 1/8 in larger depending on your preference.
I'm still loving the butterflies! Twine is my most used embellishment. I love that it adds a little something to a card but does not add a lot of bulk.
I am sad that Strong and Beautiful is going away this month. It has so many great sayings for the women in our lives. I used it on both of these cards.

I can't get enough of these beautiful butterflies. The paper especially!
The butterflies used in my samples are cut from a piece of the Designer Series Paper using the large die. Quick and easy which is my way of stamping.
For a quick and easy card design considering cutting down pieces using the following:
Cut at 4 in. Then turn the 4 x 6 piece and cut in 1/2 to get two 4 x 3 pieces.
Those layered on a solid cardstock (I used black in my samples) cut at 4 1/4 x 3 1/4 let you create cards quickly and use the Designer Series Paper as the focal point.
The 2 in strip left from the idea above works great on a card like this one!
White embossing on a black card stock gives such a bold look to your sentiment.
The Art Gallery Suite is one of my favorites from the January to June Mini Catalog. The Designer Series Paper is some of the most gorgeous paper I've ever seen! I shared a video on my Facebook page that showed one of the pieces being created. It was hand painted!
The Poppy Parade stands out so nicely on this card. TIP: Be sure to use the adhesive sheets when die cutting the words. It makes adhering them so much easier than messing with glue.
This card is a simple one but I love showing off the Painted Texture embossing folder.
This card was one I received from my friend, Kim. I love her fun fold idea and using the Designer Series Paper on the inside of the card.
Stamping directly on my Designer Series Paper is something I often forget to do! I also chose to use the silver side of the Acetate Paper instead of the gold.

The bright bold colors and designs in this paper makes me smile. This Designer Series Paper (DSP) (along with the coordinating stamp set Berry Blessings) is a Sale a-Bration offering through the end of February. You can earn it for FREE with a $100 Stampin' Up! purchase. Shop here! It also coordinates with the Sweet Strawberry Bundle found in the January-June Mini Catalog.
Allowing the paper to do the work makes these very quick and easy cards to make. I'm also a sucker for a good pun!
TIP: When I get ready to heat emboss I like to do a lot at one time. I grab a stack of Basic Black scraps, my stamps and my Versamark and pull out the embossing powder and heat tool. Since it's a bit of work to get it all set up I prefer to make it count!
TIP: Cutting your 12x12 DSP to 4 x 5.25 pieces make it the perfect size for layering on a card front. It also gets me to use it instead of letting it pile up!
