Another Botanical Card!

Another Botanical Card!

One of the nice bonuses to Stampin' Up designer paper is the fact it is double sided.  To take advantage of this I created this card with a fun fold to show off the other side of the paper.

Below is a list of the ingredients to make this card along with step by step and a video.  I think you get such a great bang for you buck on the Botanical Builder bundle.  It is item # 140819 and a total of $51.75.  The price also allows you to get a free item of your choice during Sale-A-Bration time!

So you can really maximize that $.

Hope you enjoy this card!

I love seeing colors used together that I wouldn't normally put together myself.  The Botanical Designer Paper in the new Occasions Catalog does just that. Below you will find one card my club did using this stamp set and matching designer paper.  The Botanical line combines one of my favorite greens Mossy Meadow (the other fav is Wild Wasabi), Hello Honey and an unexpected Cajun Craze.  I hadn't really looked at this color much until now.  Feel free to message me and I can pull together a kit for you to make this card!
