Whether for a male or female, young or old, this birthday card created with the NEW Quatrefancy Specialty Paper (130141, $12.95) fits the bill!
I used to be stingy with myself — and you — when it came to using Designer Series Papers on cards but no more! I have discovered how easy it is to create absolutely beautiful cards with just paper…and a tiny bit of ink!
Yes, I sell rubber stamps and you know I love to use my rubber stamps, but I’m also loving using — in a very generous fashion — Stampin’ Up!’s exclusive, high quality double-sided, acid-free and lignon-free 12′ x 12 ” papers! They’re the perfect solution for gorgeous cards, of course, but they are also perfect for scrapbooking layouts, gift-wrapping, and a whole variety of paper crafts!
