I really did play with the ‘Playing with Patterns’! Check out the video!

I had a lot of fun mixing up the patterns in this super cute designer paper on a Facebook Live video.  *See it below. 

First is a play on triangles. These pieces are just 3/4" wide X 3" long! What a fun way to use your scraps!!

Cut 6 pieces of Designer Paper at 3/4" X 3" and then cut each one from one corner to the opposite one.  Now you can piece these together on a contrasting piece of card stock measuring 4" X 5 1/4".  Be sure to watch the video below to see how it's done.  

The greeting circle is from the Painted Label dies and the greeting is from the Pattern Play stamp set.  See the entire suite of Playing with Patterns products here. 

Next is a fun card where you cut narrow strips of designer paper and piece them onto a background sheet.  Just offset them slightly to create a 'Bargello' look. This is a quilting technique perfect for striped paper!

Which one is your favorite?  The colors are Crushed Curry, Calypso Coral, Coastal Cabana and Night of Navy.

I like the one below as the Bargello look is more apparent with the dark Navy strips.   The greeting dies are from one of my favorites; the Stitched So Sweetly dies in the annual catalog seen here.

    Because we’re moving to Bismarck in July I will have just one card kit to go in June. I will be busy packing and moving so I’m cutting back on blog posts, videos and creating for a few weeks.

    This kit to go features the Inked Occasions Paper Pumpkin kit. Look how colorful and beautiful they are?! Of course I changed up the original kit to create these:

    She used the Fern & Flora bundle seen here. Who doesn’t love ferns!? Stampin’ Up! did an awesome job on these dies.
    The colors here are Mossy Meadow, Old Olive and Peaceful Pine.

    Next is a pretty card made by Paula who featured the Valley in Bloom Designer Paper.

    It’s a book binding card fold. Start with a 11″ X 4 1/4″ card base; score at 4 1/4″ & 5 1/2″. Adhere the ‘binding’ area down.
    Her colors include Blackberry Bliss with Granny Apple Green. She added some of the new 2026-28 In Color butterflies too.

    This designer paper is simply stunning; it’s so soft and yet detailed at the same time. See it here.

    Here’s what she did on the inside. The dies are so pretty!
