Painted With Love Specialty Designer Series Paper Birthday Card

How beautiful is the Stampin' Up! Painted With Love Specialty Designer Series Paper from the new 2018 Occasions Catalog.  I love the abstract painted designs with gold mixed into the pattern. The Painted with Love Specialty DSP is well complimented against the Calypso Coral cardstock.  Reminds me of a pretty sunset.

 

Retired But Love it... Retired Christmas Designer Series Paper

More cards I made with my 4x4 Designer Series Paper scraps.  These scraps were retired Christmas paper squares from a recent meeting where we did a "DSP paper share" project. I couldn't bare to throw them away... so I made these quick Christmas cards for my Mom to use.

Today's Christmas card highlights the wonderful Quilted Christmas Designer Series Paper Pack. The DSP strips measure 1" x 4" and layered on top of Whisper White cardstock measuring 4 1/4" x 3 1/4".  The "Tidings of Comfort and Joy" tag measures 3" x 2".

Week #8:  Holiday Treat Box

Stampin With Scraps: 4x4 Retired Designer Paper Series Share

I was cleaning out some DSP paper in my craftroom and came across some 4x4 Designer Series Paper scraps.  These scraps were retired paper squares from a recent meeting where we did a "DSP paper share" project. 

I couldn't throw away the paper scraps so I decided to make some quick and simple greeting cards using the paper squares and donated them for a school fundraiser.

Stampin' Up! Feeling of Christmas Wreath with Stampin Blends

I took a lot of pleasure coloring in the Feeling of Christmas wreath with Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler Stampin Blends Combo packs but it was so worth it.. beautiful card.

Some times you find inspiration from a project in weird areas.  I found this wreath looked just as great on the reverse side of the image...sort of abstract art.

Stampin With Scraps: Be Merry Designer Series Paper

I found these two little scrap pieces of Be Merry Designer Series Paper.  The scraps were tall triangular shapes, of course Christmas trees came to mind.  I couldn't throw them out and so this card was born.
