Get multiple cards from one sheet of Designer Paper! Video & free project sheet too.
I shared these beautiful cards on a Live video a few weeks ago. I wanted to make the most of one of my favorite sheets of the Valley in Bloom designer series paper. It’s discounted through August!
You can get more cards than I show above but I mistakenly cut in the wrong place and missed out on more. This pack of Valley in Bloom DSP has many beautiful sheets in it. Get some while it’s on sale.
I recommend cutting the 12 X 12″ sheet into 6 pieces at 3 1/2″ X 4 3/4″. The two center pieces won’t have as much greenery on them but you could change the layout up a bit to reflect that.
My colors include Pretty Peacock with Old Olive & White. I used a variety of punches for my greetings; mostly from my stash of White elements.
The card bases are 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ scored at 2 1/8″ & 4 1/4″. I made sure the Olive layer was small enough that the White inside piece shows as an inside layer. You can see the free project sheet with measurements, photos and supplies when you click here.
I stamped the inside of the cards with the Lily of the Valley stamp set and colored the flowers in with a Blender pen. I love this bundle so much. You can see it here.

How to use up those DSP strips! Video & free project sheet
I shared this pretty card on last week’s Live video. It’s a great way (and easy too) to use up those scraps of DSP you’re saving.
Here I used the Violet Dreams DSP along with the Framed Violets bundle & Highland Heather ink.
I started out with 1/2″ thick strips of DSP and adhered the first to a Peaceful Pine CS layer at an angle. Then simply continue to add more strips leaving a space between each. Trim off the excess on all edges and adhere to a larger Peaceful Pine CS layer.
Adhere to your card base, add a greeting and die-cut accents and you’re done!
I created a free project sheet with photo, measurements and directions. Click hereto print it or download it.

Stampin’ Up! has a brand new product on the market. It’s called the Stampin’ Hot Foiling system. If you like shine & glitz this is for you!
The metallic magic starts with Stampin’ Hot Foil Rolls, specially-made Hot Foil dies, and the Stampin’ Hot Foil System that works with our Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (sold separately). The heat of the platform transfers the foil using hot foil dies designed specifically for this system, allowing you to add dazzling details to paper and more. (IMPORTANT NOTE: Cutting dies are not designed to be used with hot foiling. You cannot die cut using foiling dies. Doing so risks damaging the dies and the system.)
As an added bonus, everyone who purchases this system before January 4, 2027, will automatically be able to access the upcoming Metallic Magic Craft Class, a technique-centric virtual class. Attendees will make unique projects and learn crafting tips intended to elevate their hot foil crafting experience. This class is a special limited-time offer exclusive to this system and is an amazing tool when it comes to increasing skills, learning techniques, and making the most of this new product line.
Here’s another neat card sample featuring the Velvet Meadow suite:
Gatefold cards are a great way to use your pretty designer series paper. Each side measures 1 7/8″ X 5 1/4″. I stamped the pretty flowers from the Flowering Meadow bundle seen here on the White arch die-cut; then layered it on the next size larger Peaceful Pine arch die-cut.
The Arches dies are out of stock currently but will be back.
I stamped the flowers in Bubble Bath, Berry Burst and Peaceful Pine ink. The greeting is stamped on a strip of White that is layered on the Velvet specialty paper in Bubble Bath color. A pretty but easy card.
Here’s what the open view looks like:
The color combinations Stampin’ Up! comes up with in their designer paper continues to amaze me. They make it so easy to make beautiful, coordinating projects. Our color families and the matching products is what drew me to Stampin’ Up! over 21 years ago and is still one of my favorite things about them.
