“Congratulations Card” featuring Stampin’ Up!’s Just Add Cake Designer Paper

Where has the week gone?  It feels like we’ve barely been home and already the week is ending!  This weekend we’re planning on heading to Ottawa for our annual 1 week family trip.  Every year – either the last week in July or first week in August, we meet up with my sister and her family and spend the week together with my parents.  Although it’s a week we really look forward to (especially the kids) – coming on the heels of CHA it’s pretty challenging to try and catch up from the week we missed, and get ready for another week away.

Today’s project is a great way to use up all those little patterned paper strips and ribbon bits that you’ve been “saving” (a.k.a. hoarding – if you’re anything like me). For this card I used one of my favourite new patterned paper collections from the Stampin’ Up! Catalog.  We do have a video for this in the Paper Crafter’s Library.
