I've had this 12 x 12 sheet of patterned paper with flocked flowers for about fifteen years. I recently came across it and thought it was time to cut it up, while I had it out. Otherwise it may have been buried for another 15 years! Each of these three cards fit into a legal size envelope. They are 4 x 9.25 inches. The sentiments all came from my parts. I think this first one is from Gina K. It was cut out with a Stampin' Up! Word Window punch. (I think that's what it's called.) I added a light touch of ink over it with a blending brush. In real life, it matches the pink wonderfully. I had also cut several extra layers for dimension.
The sentiment on this second one had been printed on my computer and then foiled with a laminator and matted with gold foil cardstock. It's popped up on foam squares.
And the sentiment on this third one had been done with my Glimmer Hot Foil system. It's mounted on foam squares. The patterned paper was the left-over and I matted it with a matching cardstock and placed it toward the left side of the card.
Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

Great use of that sheet of pretty paper. The flocked design makes these cards really unique. I haven't seen flocked paper for a long time (although I think I had some years ago). I definitely have supplies that were around at least 15 years ago. I try not to think about that. lol
Beautiful flocked paper. Nice touch with the foiled wording
Great way of using the paper with the flocked flowers, Lynette. Three lovely cards.

You used up that paper beautifully, Lynette! I still have some wonderful flocked paper in my stash which I'm apparently hoarding. You don't see it much anymore.
SUch pretty paper! It always feels good to finally use something that you've had for a long time. Good job!
