Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper Tutorial - Card #1

I am working on a new tutorial using Stampin' Up!'s Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper which is now available on the Clearance Rack. I will be focusing on the DSP using stamp sets, flower punches and dies, as well as other embellishments. Most card makers will have embellishments and stamp sets that they can substitute for the one sentiments I use.

My goal for this tutorial is to create as many cards as I can using one half of the 6" x 6" paper pack. I will have a cutting guide with the tutorial which will help you maximize the use of the paper.

The tutorial will be FREE with your $75 Stampin' Up! purchase from me using the Hostess Code. The tutorial will be available for purchase after I finish creating the cards.
