Sending You Smiles

Hello friends! Thanks for stopping by. I have a card today with some patterned paper that I have actually hoarded for quite a while. I recently bought a second piece of it so I could cut into one of them and not feel like I was running out. (Girl Math) It is so colorful and pretty! For our Just Us Girls Moodboard Week #775 hosted by the lovely Carol Mayne, we have a bright cheerful palette of colors to use as a jumping off point. 












I wanted to make sure that the patterned paper took a front row seat on my card, so I CASEd a recent Kelly Schirmer fun fold card here from Instagram. She used the fun fold instructions here and made it her own with her beautiful patterned papers. My paper reminds me of a quilt, so I thought that a little embroidery would work with a sewing-esque card.

Here are the products I used for my card:

Patterned paper - JoAnn Fabrics

Spellbinders - Stitched alphabet dies

Pretty Pink Posh - Gems, Encouraging Greetings stamp set

Stampin' Up! - Classic ink pad

White and navy cardstock scraps

DMC - embroidery floss

This card was not difficult at all and it sure is a good way to showcase a pretty piece of paper! A note can be written on the back of the card. 

We hope you will join us for this fun moodboard challenge. See you in our gallery and thanks for visiting!

Carol

That is definitely a quilt pattern, Carol, and it worked beautifully for your fun fold card and the mood board. The embroidered sentiment is a great touch.
