Be honest—do you save every little scrap of Designer Series Paper? And then what happens? Do those pretty pieces find their way onto another card, or do they keep collecting in a container for “someday”?
If your scrap collection needs a little attention, today’s card might be just the inspiration you need!
Judy Getty created this beautiful card for my recent team challenge, and I love the way she used strips of Sunflower Fields Designer Series Paper from the new September–December Stampin’ Up! catalog. Those little pieces make such a striking card front!
The angled strips bring the different patterns together beautifully, with the “Give Thanks” greeting as a lovely finishing touch. What a wonderful reminder that a piece of paper doesn’t have to be large to make a big impression.
And Judy didn’t stop at the front! Take a peek inside, where another touch of patterned paper dresses up the corner. Even the envelope flap gets some attention with coordinating strips of Sunflower Fields Designer Series Paper. I love how those details carry the design through the whole project. Who wouldn’t smile finding this in their mailbox?

It’s my way of saying thank you for supporting my business and helping you create more cards from the heart.
Here’s a little challenge for you: pull out a few coordinating scraps and put them to work on your next card. Try them across a card front, tucked into an inside corner, or decorating an envelope flap. Those pretty pieces deserve their moment!
