I just HAD to have this Toadstool Gardens Designer Series Paper because my daughter loves fungi and everything related to them. I knew I had to make her birthday card with this gorgeous Stampin’ Up!® paper.
Toadstool Gardens Designer Series Paper (164942) is one of my favourite Sale-a-Bration offerings from Stampin’ Up!® this year. It coordinates with the Terrific Toadstools bundle (164790), which I have just ordered and am looking forward to creating with when it arrives.
For this simple birthday card, I let the Toadstool Gardens Designer Series Paper do most of the work, with the addition of a lovely big greeting from the new With You In Mind stamp set (164747).
I chose one of the most colourful pieces of Toadstool Gardens Designer Series Paper to use as my main panel, which I layered on to some Old Olive cardstock. I later realised that the green in the paper is Granny Apple Green but olive works just as well.
My daughter isn’t a pink person so I chose the least pink section of the tiny toadstool paper for the background, layering it on to a Basic White card base.
Across the front, I stamped Happy Birthday in Old Olive using that fab new sentiment stamp set With You In Mind. This set is most definitely worth adding to your craft stash as you will use it over again.
Here’s a stamping tip which will save you money and make your life easier.
Invest in a stamp set like With You in Mind and you will never struggle to make cards for men or teenagers again. All you need is some appropriate Designer Series Paper and you’re done. A stamp set like With You In Mind can save you a fortune as you won’t need to buy all those hobby-specific stamp sets that you will probably only use once or twice.
Trust me: get the hobby-specific Designer Series Paper instead. Even if you don’t use it all for your mushroom-loving daughter, golfing brother, or fishing father... you’ll get plenty of use out of the geometric designs on the reverse.
To finish off the card, I fussy-cut a small toadstool (a stylised fly agaric, I believe) to add to the greeting panel.
If you love this toadstool paper as much as I do, you can earn it FREE with a £55 Stampin’ Up!® order before the end of February.
