The challenge at Just Us Girls is to make a card with NO stamping. Hmmmm. How do I do that? I’m a stamper. Oh, wait – I just got this gorgeous pattern paper pack called Blossom by Graphic 45, so it made creating cards without stamping a breeze. The problem with these designs is, both sides are so pretty it’s hard to know which one to use. I cut one of the small images of the pink dahlia, then cut the full size sheet for the background. I had several other scraps and used two for mats – the green stripe was the reverse of the dahlia. The Hello die came with my Gemini Jr. This is the first time I’ve used it and it VERY intricate. I got a lot of other cards made today using this pack and I’m glad to have some cards for my stash.

Thanks Gerry I tend to hoard beautiful pattern paper, but using it is a quick and easy way to create a card.
This patterned paper is gorgeous. Such a lovely background for your card definitely did not need any stamping. Stunning!
Thanks Gayle. I love G45 but I tend to hoard it.
What a fantastic card! I love how you cut out the dahlia and used it. You took pretty paper and used it in a fantastic way that elevated it. Great work!
