Welcome to the Pretty Cards and Paper International Blog hop. I am so fortunate to be joining this group of amazing demonstrators from all around the world. Each month we will be showcasing some of the Designer series papers which can found in our suite of catalogues. I’m so excited to share with you a set of stunning papers that sit within the Host & Earn section of the NEW 2021-22 Annual Catalogue. The mega DSP offering from the new annual Catalogue create my Art in Bloom Pattern Party Cards.
Pattern Party Mega DSP Pack
Have you seen the amazing Host & Earn FREE mega DSP bundle on page 171 on the catalogue? There are 4 Each of 12 double sided designs totalling 48, 12″ by 12″ pieces of card. One side is a set of pretty brightly coloured designs. The other some gorgeous classic Black & white designs.
Yep that’s right you can earn all of these for FREE with a qualifying order!!

I wanted to show both sides of the DSP as they were both so pretty. To coordinate with these pretty designs I needed a simple image, which would not overwhelm the card. So I plumped for the beautiful Art in Bloom bundle, which has this amazing NEW Hybrid embossing folder.
Once you have stamped and coloured your images, then place the die inside the embossing folder. It sits perfectly around the three central floral images. Next add your image to the sandwich , close and emboss as usual.
It creates a wonderful texture and shape to the flowers in one go and I love it!

I chose to show off three of the different patterns and kept the colour scheme simple on each card.
