This week I’m sharing some of the great cards I got from my team’s Occasion Catalog card swap.  They came up with such fabulous cards that I wanted to share the inspiration with everyone! 

Today’s cards show some cute ways to use the patterns in the Fresh Prints designer paper stack to add a touch of pattern to your cards…plus I just realized they use the exact same color combination too! Winning combo I think.

Card 1 – Perfect Pennants w/ Colored Rhinestones

This first card was created by the talented Angela McCormack and is a great clean and simple card that uses the pattern of the designer paper to compliment the shape of the sentiment. (I REALLY need to get out my pennant framelits and start using them… love how this looks layered like this).

Plus, if you look, those red spots in the corners are actually rhinestones that she colored with a sharpie to fit in perfectly!

Card 2 – Banners for a Birthday

Next up was this fun Birthday card created by Sara Grafton that is another clean and simple card but has so many fun touches that it packs a lot of punch!  

The Happy Birthday to You image is from one stamp and she did an awesome job coloring it in before stamping.  Then the touches of the popped up cupcake and the set of banners using the new Banner punch from the Sale-a-Bration catalog is a great addition.

Aren’t they so talented?  I love that both cards as so fun to look at, yet are something I could do at home easily enough.  Thanks, Ladies, for sharing your wonderful ideas and inspiration!
