These paper designs REALLY caught my eye! It's been awhile since we've had a purple focus in a paper pack...it's SO pretty!!

Here is the card I created for today!

This card is a regular Card base size, but we've added a Fancy Fold to have this card open on both sides. Take a look at how the card looks when opened up!

This is a FUN twist to a traditional way to making a card. By adding an extra piece of cardstock to the right side of the card base, I am able to create this tri-fold card.

Now, let's take a look at the details...

I wanted to imitate the muted colors of the paper, and so for the flowers on the outside of the card I used 2nd generation stamping.

Second Generation stamping is --- inking up the stamp. Then, stamping it FIRST on scrap paper than stamped again (without reinking) onto the die cut. Ta-da! A "muted" colored flower!

You may have noticed the "background" on this card front. I used a stencil and Lemonade ink to create a subtle background with one of our 12x12 stencil sheets.

Here is the pack of stencils I used to add this pattern to the front panel & inside of my card design! Our stencils come in a 3 pack---and these stencils are a CLEAR 12x12 plastic that is so easy to clean!!

We have THREE different packs of stencils (a total of 9 different 12x12 stencils) and this is Pack #1 -- the one I used for this card.

I If you look closely in the photo below, you'll see that I cut apart that 9 pattern 12x12 stencil and show the "small" stencil that I used on my card in this photo.

Here is a look at the other items I used to create my card too!

I also thought the Lavendar Lace Liquid Pearl was a LOVELY color to go with this paper. I used this for the center of my flowers.

The Twinkle Toes Holographic paper was a fun, shiny addition to the card too!

Here's a look at the two stamps I used on this card.

This photo below, shows a close up of the inside of the card. I kept it very simple, but yet there is lots of room to stamp a sentiment or write out a longer message.

If you look closely, you'll notice I also used the Stencil image and lightly used the Lemonade ink to give a background to my writing space.

A strip of Holographic paper at the bottom, added a bit of shine to tie the outside & inside of the card together.

Before we go--here's a look at this BEAUTIFUL In This Together paper...and yes there is a 12x12 Sticker Sheet included in this photo too. :)

This paper is ONLY available until March 31,2021, OR While Supplies Last.

I hope you enjoyed my card creations & that you were INSPIRED today!! :)
