I have a super cute and easy way to jazz up a card with Designer Series Paper.

It uses a 6-3/4″ x 8″ piece of DSP. Do you have any of that lying around???? I think that is a rhetorical question, huh? Well, I used some Stampin’ UP! Botanicals Textures DSP on the card on the left and the Stampin’ UP! Everyday Happiness DSP on the right.

Here is a video showing how easy it is to make:

I love the Stampin’ UP! Faith Collection Bundle- I mean, a stamp set to celebrate our LORD- I’m happy.

Here are some pics of the card I made with the Stampin’ UP! Botanical Textures DSP and the Stampin’ UP! Textured Notes Stamp Set.

Measurements: Card Base: 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2, DSP on card: 6-3/4″ x 8″ scored as seen in video- pay attention to the direction and what you want to see on outside, Cardstock inside on top square: 2-1/2″ square with 2-1/4″ DSP or CS inside, Inside panel: 3-3/4″ x 5″

I have been itching to ink up another color on my Stampin’ UP! Fields in Bloom stamp set. This time I changed the orientation and dies from the Textured Notes Dies.

These two cards show how the image fits in a landscape position and a portrait position.

I got a fun card from my friend Jackie Walker. It’s a cute card that has a book mark attached to it. Sorry I took a fuzzy photo of the front so here is the inside. The front used the blue toned DSP from Floral Delight Designer Series Paper with die cut blooms on it. You can see it in my video.

Here is my rendition using the Stampin’ UP! Pattern of Friendship and Everyday Happiness Designer Series Paper. I love that is has 4 each of 3 double-sided designs:)

I used the perforating blade in the Stampin’ UP! Take Your Pick Crafter Tips to perforate the bookmark so the recipient can easily tear ir off. I suggest tearing the top a bit so they know it’s a bookmark.

I used the front and back of the one sheet. You will see the colors Gray Granite, Lost Lagoon, Mossy Meadow, Pecan Pie, Pretty Peacock, Wild Wheat, Very Vanilla in the DSP. I love that there are 4 each of 3 designs so you can easily make multiples of a card.Don’t forget that Wild Wheat is leaving us as an In Color in April before the new catalog so make sure to get any of the 2023-2025 In Color items you want NOW:)

Measurements: Card Base: 5-1/2″ x 11″ scored at 4-1/4″ and perforated (or scored) at 8-1/2″ on the 11″ side, DSP on front: 3-3/4″ x 5″ (see video to cut on diagonal if you prefer that design), DSP on bookmark 2″ x 5″ , Borders around DSP are 4″ x 5-1/4″ and 2-1/4″ x 5-1/4″,- you can die cut the labels out of it since you will be covering it up), Inside white: 4″ x 5-1/4″

WooHoo! One More Day until the NEW release of ONLINE EXCLUSIVES!!!

So many great things to see! The Arched Wishes Stamp Set will be available tomorrow. Here are a few pretty cards I made using the NEW Arched Wishes Stamp Set that coordinates with the Everyday Arches Dies. It is great to have two stamp sets to work with the Dies even though the dies themselves are stand alone dies that you can use so many ways.

I had a Balmy Blue Arch left over from another project that I was working on that had a window in it. On the cupcake card, I die cut the blue border arch from the blue arch on the balloon card. This left me with a thin arch frame. So, the arch on the balloon card is actually a thin open frame. I masked around it and then stamped the balloons.
