Happy Friday! I used the pretty Stampin’ Up! Very Versailles cling stamp set to make a note card wishing you a beautiful day. I paired it with scraps from the beautiful You’re A Peach designer series paper to make a striped background. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I adhered strips of You’re A Peach designer series paper to a Basic White panel. I started at one end where the strip and backing panel lined up evenly and the strips overlapped the side edges and I adhered the strips one at a time, butting them snugly until the panel was covered. I trimmed the overlapping DSP with my trimmer so that my finished panel was 3-1/2″ x 4-3/4″ and I adhered it to an Old Olive mat.

I adhered a Pale Papaya panel to the front of a Thick Basic White card base with liquid glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Very Versailles stamp set in Pear Pizzazz ink on a small Pale Papaya panel and cut it out with the Messages die.

I wrapped the striped DSP panel with Pale Papaya ribbon and tied a knot. I adhered the label to the panel on top of the ribbon with dimensionals and adhered the striped panel to the card front with more dimensionals. I finished off the card front with three sequins.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Very Versailles stamp set in Pear Pizzazz ink on a Basic White panel. I cut out the flower trio from the Peach dies using Pale Papaya and adhered them to the leaves with liquid glue. I adhered Pear Pizzazz and Calypso Coral strips of You’re A Peach DSP to the bottom of the panel and adhered the panel to a Pale Papaya mat and then to the inside of the card.

The sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Very Versailles stamp set are just beautiful! And this is a sweet one for a simple card with the pretty You’re A Peach DSP. The strip technique is a great way to use up the pretty scraps from larger projects that you can’t bear to throw away. And the results are always nice!
