Brighten up your crafting adventures with the delightfully charming Lighter than Air Designer Paper, measuring a versatile 6″ x 6″. This collection is a true celebration of pastel hues, bursting with a diverse range of patterns that will add a touch of whimsy to any card or project.

For this card, I chose a color combination that came straight from this pretty paper: Fresh Freesia, Pool Party, and Bubble Bath. I think it matched the airy feel for the card that I wanted!

Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Fold the Basic White cardstock in half at the score line to create your card base.
- Layer the Lighter Than Air paper pattern #2 onto the Lighter Than Air pattern #1. Adhere the papers to the center of the card front.
- Run the Fresh Freesia cardstock and the Basic White cardstock through the Cut & Emboss Machine using the SOmething Fancy tag dies. Stamp the sentiment onto the Basic White Tag using Pool Party ink and adhere the tag to the Fresh Freesia tag.
- Cut a 2-1/2” and 3” piece of the Bubble Bath Ribbon. Layer each piece on the back of the sentiment tag, off-setting slightly. Adhere the sentiment tag to the card front using Stampin’ DImensionals to finish.
A Tip from Barb
Here’s a tip if you don’t have a Cut & Emboss Machine or want to simplify the card. Instead of using the Something Fancy dies, cut your cardstock as follows: Fresh Freesia cardstock to 1-1/2” x 2-1/2” and the Basic White cardstock to 1-1/4” x 2-1/4”.
