Love Those Pretty Papers February 2025 Challenge

 

  Hello Dear Friends

It's a new month and that means it's time for a new challenge over on our
LOVE THOSE PRETTY PAPERS blog.

Today, our OPTIONAL theme is . . .

the Color RED.
 
Diane & I will be sharing a Themed pretty paper card as well as an Anything Goes card.

 Here's my card using today's THEME:

The pretty papers used today are from the Ken Oliver 'Watercolored Memories' pack (KN05954).  And, I've used a Hearty Crafts 3D topper from the HC11188 Snowdrops pack for my focus flowers.  The sentiment is a die set from Tutti Designs.

  Now for my 2nd card (anything goes) ... 

I must admit, I have a LOT of designer papers and several of them come in the form of paper packs.  I like these paper packs as a lot of the different panels coordinate with each other.  Today I took three sheets from a very OLD paper pack I purchased years ago at Hobby Lobby.  It's by the Paper Studio and called 'Kirby Teesdale Studio' (686154).  The image below is of the 12x12 pack so you can see the paper patterns easily.  I three different panels and cut them into strips to create the background for my card.

 The sentiment used today is one from my 'Doni Collection' (my friend who passed away in May and left me all her stamps) and is by My Favorite Things.  Since I had left over strips, I also added a couple to the sentiment panel to help pull it all together.  A few little prima flowers and this card is ready for an inside message & a postage stamp!

 

  I hope you've enjoyed what I created to inspire you today!  Please come join our fun and show us what you have created using pretty patterned papers.

Thanks for stopping by and as always . . .
