Love Those Pretty Papers April 2026 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

SPRING FLOWERS


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:

 

 I discovered a 12x12 pack of papers from Carta Bella in my stash that I believe was within a kit that I had purchased sometime over the last who knows how many years.  I opened it for the first time today and the papers are beautiful  with coordinating sentiment panels.  I didn't particularly care for what the sentiment said on this one but liked that it matched the paper so die cut Tutti Designs oval and stamped my own sentiment.

 

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


Using up more of my OLD 12x12 designer papers to create sets for my sale boxes.

  5. isn't it crazy how long it takes us to open a new pack of papers or anything really, but it is always a nice surprise when we come across them and you did a pretty job with all your cards! Happy Easter!

  6. Oooh, I love those pretty and fun papers on your first card! Now that you've rediscovered them I'm sure you'll be using the rest of the pack. It looks like there are a lot of good ones in there! Again, that sentiment set is one I need to pull out and use more. I love to laugh and smile and this set reminds me of that. The paper on your second card is really gorgeous with such a feminine feel and soft colors. It has a delightfully vintage appeal. Bet those cards won't stay long in your sale basket!
