It showcases the pretty Violet Dreams DSP seen here. There are 3 pieces from the DSP on this card: the violets die-cut, the striped frame and the green DSP strip. This DSP has 2 sheets of die-cut ephemera included in the package. I love that; it opens up so many options when creating.
Look closely at the coordinating colors on this card. Stampin’ Up! makes it so easy to create with perfectly matching colors. It’s my very favorite thing about SU. I used the violets as the starting point and simply repeated each color once or twice on my project for a wonderfully cohesive look.
Tip: If you struggle with color coordination pick two colors and repeat them at least once if not twice on your project. This works!
Check out the video below where I shared on more pretty card featuring DSP strips.

Last day of the Seasonal Stock up Sale! Meandering Meadows surprise Accordion card with free project sheet & video
Today is the last day of the Seasonal 'Stock up' Sale. I sure appreciate getting a discount on consumable items like card stock, ink refills and markers!
I used a wide strip of Blueberry Bushel and a narrow strip of Balmy Blue on the front. The designer paper is actually most of the front of this card. Here's the inside view:
See how the back of the front layer of designer paper is revealed here? There is a full 11" X 4 1/4" piece of accordion folded card stock between the front and back layers. It's a very cool design that's also easy to make.
I really like how it shows both sides of our double-sided designer series paper. It also gives you lots of layers to stamp or decorate. I kept mine quite simple.
I used my favorite greeting set in the 2023 Holiday catalog; So Sincere. See it here. It's a gem! The tag die-cut is from the Tailor Made Tags seen here.
You can see a glimpse of each sheet in the photo below. It's 6 X 6" in size and filled with watercolor scenes. This type of designer paper allows you to let the pretty scenes do the work for you. Click here to see it.

Have you ever made a double Z-fold card? They look difficult but honestly they are quite simple! I shared how in last week's video tutorial. I also have a free printable project sheet for you!
I featured the new Meandering Meadows 6" designer series paper from the Online Exclusives. It's stunning with 12 different watercolor scenes!
I love how the printed strip on the bottom has the colorful stream; it matches the DSP on the card perfectly! I sure do love this new paper! I will be featuring it in a December card kit to go. And these cards may be included!
At first I was going to leave it quite simple on the left front, then I thought of the Bough punch and tried that. I liked it so I added it to both cards which you can see below.

I used Balmy Blue for both card layers and added Garden Green and a bit of Highland Heather with the punches.
It's hard to tell but I used two different sheets of this pretty designer paper here. One for the left two panels and another for the large one on the right. Then I was able to trim the bottom DSP layer off and use it for the 1" strips on the bottom layers. A perfect match!
