What is it about umbrellas? They’re just begging for some pretty patterned paper. And did you notice the background paper looks like rain drops? The Pleased As Punch Designer Series Paper was created around 4 punches – umbrella builder, hearts, tulips and small blooms punches! So basically you can use the punches to cut out the images in the paper for some fun and infinite possibilities for your cards!
The paper made this card super easy to make. The only stamps are the sentiment and umbrella handles. The rest is all punched or cut paper. I know right? So fun. I like how some of the umbrella lines are printed right on the paper and the prints are super fun. Unfortunately, the Pleased as Punch paper is no longer available, but any Designer Series Paper would work – especially the Best Dressed pack available through 5/31/20.
