I did it!! I actually cut apart the beautiful Timeless Elegance designer paper sheets from Stampin' UP! and created vintage flower cards!! No. More. Hoarding. Paper. 🙂
Several of you commented on my posts on Instagram and Facebook as I was posting about cutting up this beautiful paper, and you know what? It felt great to USE this paper instead of hoarding it!
I know… I did it!! As difficult as it was, I actually cut up and used up several of my packs of Timeless Elegance paper!
I cut the lighter background pieces to 4" x 5-1/4" to layer onto my Sahara Sand folded cards.
I cut the floral pieces to 3" x 5" and sponged Blushing Bride and Pear Pizzazz ink on the flowers and leaves!
Timeless Elegance paper and Sahara Sand Lace Trim are both ON THE RETIRING LIST – so don't delay if you want to order these products. Click on the product photos at the bottom of this post to order.
Tip.. apply a strip of Tear and Tape to the back side of the basic black cardstock, then easily add a piece of the Sahara Sand Lace Trim!!!
Trim your cards with the beautiful Sahara Sand Lace Trim – On Sale Here for only $4.90 per roll!
To finish off the cards, I added 1/2 of a metallic foil doily to some of them (left others with just the greeting). The greeting is from the Rose Wonder stamp set, stamped in Archival Black ink on Very Vanilla Cardstock and punched out with the Decorative Label punch.
There were 8 different designs, I think, when I cut up the sheets of rose paper.. and it was really pretty quick to create these 48 cards!!
I think they turned out gorgeous! I have had several compliments and comments from the 48 customers who received them.. so glad you liked them! (As I was typing this, one customer even called me on the phone to say how much she enjoyed her card – thanks Debbie!) 🙂

Good morning Patty, I to have had a problem cutting up this beautiful paper but after seeing your cards I can’t resist. They Are GORGEOUS. Thanks for sharing and have a great day.
Beautiful! I had the hardest time cutting that DSP! I finally did, but had the hardest time parting with the cards from the rose pattern!
Patty, your cards are simply gorgeous! I, too, have been making good use of my DSP. It is a “freeing” experience…LOL! Keep up the good work. You provide great inspiration!
Patty,
These cards are beautiful!! Thanks for the inspiration, and keep up the beautiful work.
Oh my gosh, these are stunningly beautiful!! I think I will have to start actually USING some of my own gorjuss paper I have hoarded because I love it so much!
A job well done Patty! Thank you for sharing your beautiful cards with us!
