Well I have achieved my ultimate aim in these cards, the only thing I had to stamp was the greeting!  I cut the Birthday Bonanza Designer Series Paper to card front size and attached it to scored and folded Grapefruit Grove card.  I cut Whisper White card using the 2nd largest rectangle from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.  I cut Grapefruit Grove card using the largest rectangle from the same Dies.  I stamped the greeting from the Bonanza Buddies stamp set onto the bottom of the card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  I attached the Whisper White rectangle to the Grapefruit Grove rectangle then the card front.  The Birthday Bonanza Designer Series Paper has some designs which are either the Koala, the Toucan or the Lion and for this card I cut out one of the Toucan’s holding balloons and attached it to the Whisper White rectangle.

To decorate the inside of the card, I cut out another Toucan, this time one with the party hat and attached it to the left hand side of Whisper White card. I also stamped another of the greetings from the Bonanza Buddies stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

So cute, so I had to make another one, using a different pattern from the Birthday Bonanza Designer Series Paper for the large panel on the card front.  I used the same colours and of course, I used the Toucan images from the Designer Series Paper once more.

I had only one piece of the balloon patterned paper from the Birthday Bonanza Designer Series paper and used it for the last card.  This time, I used the Layering Ovals for the image panel and I die cut the koala images to decorate the front panel.   I didn’t add a Koala to the inside of the card, just a greeting.

I just love these cards and just image how many you could make from one packet of the Birthday Bonanza Designer Series Paper just by cutting out the images and using them as the focal point of your card.  I hope you enjoy this idea and take another look at your designer series paper stash to see what you can create using the images on the papers.

Bye for now,

Kris
