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!

Pick of the Patch cards with Abundant Beauty masks & video

September 5, 2023

I made these pretty fall cards on last week's Live video. I share a Live video on my Facebook page here each Tuesday at 11am CT.

I love the multi-colored background!

I used three colors of ink and the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks on the leafy background. Garden Green, Pumpkin Pie and a bit of Wild Wheat.

I textured the Garden Green layer with the Basics 3D embossing folder (online Exclusive seen here). The zig-zag is from the Basic Borders dies.

I used the same decorative mask to add some detail to the inside of the card too. Watch the video below to see my tips on multiple inks and masks.

I am so glad we have a Pumpkin builder punch in! It has two sizes of pumpkins and a stem and leaf; all coordinates with the Pick of the Patch stamp set. These products go live for customers Wednesday, September 6th!

Autumn Leaves card with free project sheet; great layout for 6 X 6″ designer paper

September 4, 2023

I created about 25 of these pretty cards for a recent online swap. We also made it at a Team Meeting in August.

My colors include Pretty Peacock, Pumpkin Pie, Lost Lagoon, Copper and Very Vanilla. I used the new Autumn Leaves bundle from the upcoming Holiday Catalog. It goes live for customers on September 6th.

You might wonder how I achieved the two tone leaf. I inked the leaf in Pumpkin Pie ink and rubbed off the edges a bit. Then I added Pretty Peacock ink to the edges of the stamp with a sponge dauber, huffed and stamped.

Here's the inside:

These products go live to customers on Wednesday, September 6th. Is the Autumn Leaves bundle or the All About Autumn designer paper on your list?
