3 great ideas with the Peaceful Prints Designer Paper

Have you seen the Peaceful Prints designer paper?  It's in our Sale-a-Bration catalog and is free with any $50 order through September. Click here to see it. 

This photo does not do it justice!  The colors are rich & vibrant – Black, Cherry Cobbler, Real Red, Garden Green & Sahara Sand.

Our August Team swap featured all Sale-a-Bration products.  I sure love sharing what my Flowerbug's made!  These three cards all feature this fabulous designer paper. 

Candy made this first card with the Peaceful Deer bundle. It coordinates with this free designer paper too!

She did stamp the image in the set using Red ink and punched it out. Then she added the Soft Suede antlers and a Red rhinestone. 

Lots of details on this card:

  • Stitched Whimsy dies
  • Stitched Rectangle dies
  • Merry Melody 3D embossing folder
  • Colors are Real Red, Crumb Cake & Garden Green with White 

Marilyn made this next card with one of my latest fun folds shared on FB Live.  It's called a Faux Pocket card. You can see the video for this fold here.

She used the Layering Circle dies and the Stitched Rectangle dies for her main pieces.  The deer on the circle is cut from the actual designer paper. The greeting is from the Time of Giving stamp set and is heat embossed with White embossing powder on Black CS. 

This card fold might look complicated but it sure isn't!  Again, click here to see the video. 

Next is Annette's card featuring Garden Green, Black & White

Aug Candy Peaceful Prints Save

Her greeting is from the Peaceful Cabin stamp set.  It's on an Everyday Label punch.  She punched a second piece in Black and cut it in half vertically to layer on the White one. Simple & beautiful!

  • Fun way to use paper strips! Live video tonight!

    We made these cards on FB Live Monday night.  What a fun and easy way to use up your extra designer paper pieces! Click here to watch the video. 

    Pattern Party green Save

    I used the Pattern Party designer paper for these cards. It's a host choice in the back of the annual catalog seen here.  One side is Black & White and the other is colorful prints. I love the black & white patterns with a pop of color! 

    Tips: 

    • I start out with a 2 1/4" X 4 3/4" piece of neutral CS.  This is what I adhered the strips of Designer Paper to. 
    • I added Seal adhesive over the entire piece and added the strips one by one. 
    • Apply one strip across the middle at an angle first. Then keep filling in. 
    • I trimmed the excess off the edges once I had it well covered with strips.  
    • My DSP strips measure between 1/4" and 5/8" wide and about 3" long.  It doesn't matter how wide your strips are; it looks great if they're different widths.  
    • Add dimensionals to the back of this piece for added dimension. 
    • Add a greeting and accents if desired.

    You might wonder where this greeting is from.  It's an upcoming Sale-a-Bration stamp set called 'Hello Friend'.  It's in a bundle with a pack of Designer Paper.  It will be free with a $100 purchase during SAB in January & February.  Of course Demo's can earn it free now during our pre-order period. 

    The other new items here is a punch.  Can you spot it?  It's called the bough punch and has two options in the punch.  The large leaf and the 'buds' too.

  • Last of the unique ‘Gift Card’ ideas with video!

    I've shared two other special gift card ideas and today I have another.  It's the last one I shared in this video. 

    It features the Penguin Place bundle seen here.   And it's now available but on low inventory; once more.  The punch was out of stock for a long time. 

    Penguin gift card Save

    This penguin is super cute and quite versatile.  Certainly not just for Christmas!

    Details:

    • His main body is punched out of Black glitter paper. 
    • I fussy cut his scarf from Heartwarming Hugs DSP. 
    • I stamped the snowflakes on the Black CS using our White Craft ink.  

    This card opens up like this:

    There's a fold inside that brings up the 'gift card' when you lift up the card front.  I did use Thick White CS for this so it stands up to lots of use. Isn't it fun?  It's quite easy too!

  • Extra special Gift Card idea with a pop up ‘gift bag’ inside the card!

    Here's another gift card idea for you.  It looks harder than it is; honestly! It's a 'gift bag' inside the card! 

    Gift bag pop up inside Save

    Here's the front view:  I used the angled Heartwarming Hugs designer paper piece I cut off from this card I shared yesterday.  I love it when I can use my paper efficiently!

    I kept the front very simple as you can see.  The greetings are from the Encircled in Warmth stamp set seen here.

    I even added 'tissue' using the Ever Eden cotton paper!  It's a 6" piece I folded into points.

    I used our Real Red sheer ribbon on the front for both the bow and the 'handles' inside the bag. Below is a photo of the gift bag cut out.  Measurements are included.
