Stampin Up Botanical Gardens Card Ideas

I let the designer paper do all the work for me today. Don't you love it when you can do that? I have to fess up to you though and I know a few of you will probably be like "no way". I'm not a designer paper hoarder and I don't use designer paper all that much. There, I said it!

I feel like I am cheating when I use too much designer paper. I like to come up with my own color schemes and layers. If you scroll through my blog, you'll see what I mean. I actually HAVE TO MAKE MYSELF use it.

So when it comes time for a new catalog to debut and I have to go "out with the old", I really do not have a lot of designer paper on hand to get rid of. I know, I know…gasp!

The Botanical Gardens Designer Paper really does have some pretty designs. The one I am using today actually coordinates with the Botanical Blooms stamp set. If you take a peek at all of the leaves and flowers, you'll see where I stamped the detail. All I added was a circle stamped with a sentiment from the Apple Of My Eye stamp set. To finish off my card, I add a solo Botanical Gardens Jewel.
