July's featured paper pack comes from the Summer Seasonal Expressions Catalog/Idea Book. (Need a copy to drool over, highlight and mark up? Email me!) It is called Prickly Pear and is perfect for these hot, summer days -- no matter where you live!
If you are new to following me, each month I feature a paper pack to show the various components of the Paper Collection and a variety of projects I have created – cards, scrapbook pages and other creations. My hope is this will inspire you to get YOUR craft on! Prickly Pear is wonderful summer, desert, Mexican Fiesta or party themed paper... perfect for those hot and sunny days that are upon us.

The Prickly Pear paper collection features bold colors of Blossom, Emerald, Lemon, Poppy, Sapphire, Sea Glass, Sorbet, Tangerine, and White Daisy, along with a mix of both bold and subtle patterns: cactus, flowers, stripes, chevrons, polka dots, and more! The paper pack includes 12 sheets of 2-sided themed patterned paper.

Additionally, there is a coordinating cardstock packet with 12 sheets in Poppy, Sea Glass, Sapphire and Tangerine (3 sheets each of 2-sided white core) cardstock.

Of course, you can’t have a featured paper pack without coordinating embellishments to go along with them.

The Prickly Pear Complements are perfect for creating titles, adding dimension or an added pop of flair with the coordinating stickers and chipboard cut outs. There are also the Prickly Pear Sequins which have bold colors for additional, yet subtle texture on your art work.
Lastly, there is the Blue Burlap Ribbon. This roll of 5 yards of burlap ribbon is the perfect complement to the paper pack with fun texture, perfect for any card, page or layout.
For those who would love to add some stamping to this wonderful paper pack, there are 2 fun and funky stamp sets that coordinate with the Prickly Pear Paper Pack: one for cardmaking and one for scrapbooking.
