A fun way to use your Designer Paper scraps!

June 26, 2026

Is it hard for you to toss those small pieces of designer paper pieces? Well, if you’re a ‘saver’ I have a quick card idea for you.

Here I used the pretty Velvet Meadow specialty designer paper from our Online store. It has velvet/flocked accents that feel soft and fuzzy. See it here.

Unfortunately it’s currently out of stock but it will be back! Add your email to the product page so you’re notified when it’s available.

I cut three different patterns of DSP in 1/2″ wide strips. I added them to a piece of Peaceful Pine card stock (3″ X 4 3/4″) at an angle. I left a narrow space between them all and trimmed off the ends afterwards. Then I layered it on another Peaceful Pine piece slightly larger before adding it to my Bubble Bath card base.

Tip: Adding the designer paper layer on the left and adding the greeting strip hanging off on the right adds balance to the card.

Here’s the coordinating Flowering Meadow bundle; see it here.

The greeting is made with the Scalloped Blooms dies. The flower and leaves are fussy cut from the designer paper. A quick and pretty card!

Sweet Songbirds is adorable on this cute card!

May 27, 2022

We made this adorable card at my May card clubs; it features the Sweet Songbirds bundle and three new In Colors.

Save

The new colors include Tahitian Tide (turquoise), Parakeet Party (green) and Sweet Sorbet (red) along with Soft Suede.

I shot a video of the easy steps to create this card; I hope you watch it. See it here or scroll down to watch it below.

That neat cloud border is created with the Basic Border dies seen here. I love these dies!!

As you can see there are very few layers here; the stamped scene is all you need.

See the Sweet Songbird bundle here. The bird & wing are stamped on a separate piece of White CS and punched out. They're popped up as well as the sign (done on Sahara Sand CS).

Measurements:
• Tahitian Tide card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
• White front 5 1/4" X 4", inside is 4 3/4" X 3 1/2", scraps for bird punches
• Sahara Sand scrap for hanging sign

Tea Boutique card with a pocket for a tea bag of gift card!

May 26, 2022
Yesterday I shared the cute tea bag gift box below on the right. Today I'll share details on the pretty card on the left.

Save

Both projects feature the Cup of Tea bundle and the Tea Boutique designer paper seen here.

The card is an easy fun fold where the card base is a quarter sheet of Fresh Freesia card stock. The Garden Green piece is the part that opens and reveals the tea bag. Of course the tea bag is optional and would work as a gift card holder also.

Save

Here are the measurements:
- Fresh Freesia card base 4 ¼” X 5 ½”, & 3 X 3” square for tea
- Garden Green 3 ¼” X 11” scored at 5 ½”
- Designer paper 3” X 5 ¼”
- White inside 3” X 5 ¼”

Video tutorial for a Tea Bag gift box that holds 6 bags of tea!

May 25, 2022

On last Tuesday's live I made projects with the Tea Boutique suite. If you missed it click here for the video and click here to get to my Facebook page. Follow me and you'll get notified when I am Live.

This tea bag gift box is so cute! It's about 3" X 4 1/2" and quite easy to make. I used the Cup of Tea bundle seen here for the stamped images and die-cuts.

Save

The Tea Boutique designer series paper seen here includes all of our newest in colors so it's bright and colorful. I chose to use Parakeet Party for the main box and accents of Fresh Freesia, Starry Sky & Orchid Oasis.

Save

Here's a picture of the inside. There are two pieces of designer paper scored every 1/2" for the sides and card stock dividers between each fold for a tea bag.

Save

I used a new punch called the Lasting Label punch for the top corner detail. I share how in the video; you'll look at your punches in a whole new way!
