The designer papers in the upcoming 2016 Holiday catalog & newest Online Exclusives are amazing! I had a few requests to offer a share of them. If you like getting a sample of all of the new papers a share is a great option. Then you can decide if you want to order a full pack.
The photo below shows all but one set of papers included. It’s a big bunch!
I’m including specialty papers, new Online Exclusive papers and of course every new DSP in the catalog! There will be 82 sheets of 6 X 6″ paper in this share.
Reserve yours here; it will be open for a few weeks into September. It’s $39 plus approximately $10 shipping in the US. *I am not offering a ribbon or embellishment share this time.
Once the catalog goes live in early September I will order the shares. It can take up to a few weeks for it to arrive, prepped and mailed.
Today I'm sharing the second card I made during last week's Live video. See the video here.
The Thoughtful Journey designer series paper was my focus for the video. I shared multiple ways to use this gorgeous 6 X 6" paper. And it's 15% off – on sale through August!
We made these beautiful cards at my July card clubs:
This card has a 3" square of designer paper which means you can get 4 cards from one 6 X 6" sheet. I layered the square with coordinating card stock and added it to a piece of textured card stock that had Boho Blue ink brushed on it with a Blending Brush. The colors are Boho Blue with Misty Moonlight & White. The embossing folder is called Distressed Tile.
The greeting and pretty butterfly die-cut are from the Sketched Butterflies bundle seen here.
Did you know there's a simple way to turn a standard card into an easy fun fold? Simply fold back the front layer of a card back to the score line. Then add your layers to that folded piece.
The inside has stamped butterflies and a greeting from the So Sincere stamp set. The colors in the above card include Boho Blue, Fresh Freesia & Misty Moonlight.
Between 6–31 August, you can shop select Designer Series Paper from the 2024–2025 Annual Catalog* at 15% off! This is the perfect time to stock up and save on some of your favorite paper.
Use your nesting dies to create a designer paper window – video & free project sheet
On last week's Live video I shared a neat way to use nesting dies to create a frame with your double sided designer series paper.
I chose to feature the Thoughtful Moments DSP with this neat technique. Simply choose two dies that are the same shape and about 1/4-1/2" apart. Die-cut and then flip over the narrow frame to reveal the opposite side of the Designer Series Paper. It's so neat!
**This Designer Paper and many more will be on sale starting Tuesday, August 6th! Details will be shared tomorrow.
The leaf die is from the Friends for Life dies. My nesting dies are called Countryside Corners and can be seen here.
Tip – be sure the color of the opposite side of your paper coordinates with the front. I chose the card base to match the frame – Pretty Peacock. My greeting is in Fresh Freesia.
Here are both cards shown on the video; the second card on the right has a Lost Lagoon frame & card base. The White die-cut on the right card is from the Thoughtful Wishes bundle.
The designer paper for these cards is 4" X 5 1/4" which leaves a 2" strip for another project. I wanted to share a quick card to use up that leftover piece:
I simply added it to the card base with a coordinating card stock strip on the edge. Then added layering circles for my greeting.
If you're wondering about the ribbon, it's the pretty Iridescent 1/2" striped trim seen here. I cut it in half to get 1/4" thick trim. It has been unavailable for awhile but it's back now.
Here are all 4 cards I shared in the video you can see here.
Here's the video below to see how this is done plus another card idea with the beautiful Thoughtful Journey designer paper. I'll share the second card Wednesday.
