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!

• Check out these Cheerful Daisy projects; WOW!!

  September 18, 2023

  ---

  Each month I ask one of my Flowerbug's Team to volunteer as our Artist of the Month.  For August it was Barb who chose the Cheerful Daisy bundle seen here.  They receive the bundle from me free and in exchange I ask them to create a minimum of 5 projects with it.  She did a fabulous job!!  

  This first card is a super neat fun fold card showing off the Countryside Corners dies seen here. 

  

  She cased it from Debbie Henderson.  The designer paper is Countryside Inn. Stamps include Cheerful Daisies and Sentimental Park

  Measurements: 

  • Navy cardstock – 4 1/4" X 10 1/2" score at 3 1/2" X 7"
  • Designer paper layers – 3 1/4" X 4"
  • Largest White Countryside Corner die-cuts are 4 1/2" tall
  • Designer Paper Countryside Corner die-cuts are 4" tall

  

  Next is a pretty card with a simple addition of a triangle cut of the Masterfully Made designer paper. 

  

  She textured the Berry Burst layer with the Exposed Brick embossing folder before adding it to the Navy card base. The daisy is heat embossed with White embossing powder.  

  Next is a great desk calendar – these are fabulous gifts for just about anyone! 

  

  Measurements:

  • Moody Mauve Card base is 4 1/4" X 11" score and fold at 5 1/2"
  • Calendar base 4 1/4" X 5" score at 1", 2 1/2" and 4".  Add to the inside bottom of the card base. 
  • Designer paper 4" X 5 1/4"
  • Calendar layer 3 1/2" X 2 3/4" (add 1/2" to the size of your calendar

  You can purchase these calendars online.  They're called 'mini tear off calendars'.
