A fun way to use your Designer Paper scraps!

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!

• Book-binding Fold & Tuck card with video & free project sheet

  September 28, 2023

  ---

  Here's the second card I shared in last week's video; it's a book-binding card with a twist!  The main panel features the 'Tuck & Fold' technique I shared a few weeks ago. See that card here. 

  The designer paper is the Translucent Floral Online Exclusive seen here.

  
  

  Supplies:

  • Center greeting circle is from the Radiating Stitches dies seen here.
  • The Happy Birthday greeting is from the Inked & Tiled stamp set
  • Basics 3D embossing folders were used on the Lemon Lime Twist layer
  • 2022-24 In Color Baker's twine and Sequins Trio are the embellishments

  Download the free project sheet here: Download Delightful Florals Book Binding card

  The pinwheel like layer above starts out with a 6 X 6" piece of designer paper. You score it at 1 1/2" on all sides and cut off the corners as seen below.  

  

  Then you fold in the outer rectangles into the center and fold back one corner on each side.  Watch the video below to see how it's done.  It's quite easy!  

  Save two of the corners you cut off and cut them in half on the diagonal. It really jazzes up the inside of this card!  

  

  You can see all three cards included in the video below. Click here to watch it, or scroll down a bit.

• All About Autumn Triple Stack & Cut cards

  September 27, 2023

  ---

  I wanted to share another version of the Triple Stack & Cut cards that I shared yesterday.  I made these for my September Team card swap: 

  

  I shared how to make these cards here; I also have a video below you can watch. It's a fun way to use your designer paper and make really quick but eye-catching cards.  

  As you can see in the photo below it's a type of mix & match game.  

  Tip: when choosing your designer papers I recommend you pick a large and small print and then one that is more of a background print. 

  

  The card base and Deckled circle are Pebbled Path. I used the Autumn Leaves bundle for my stamps & die-cuts. See it here. 

  

  *This pretty designer paper is currently unavailable but is expected back the week of October 9th.
