Tricks of Using Designer Series Paper to Create Quick Cards
August 27, 2024
Today I'll be showing you Tricks of Using Designer Series Paper to Create Quick Cards. Every year Stampin'Up! presents all the colors (50 of them) in packs of color families. Each color is presented in 4 designs (front & back of 2 papers).
This week we're creating with the Copper Clay in the 2023-2025 In Color pack of DSP...here's the sample of this set of papers...
Here's today's creation
and a bit closer...
One of the simplest uses of designer paper is to use it as the complete background for your focal point. We selected the white with copper design as our background today. We edged it with a very narrow border of Copper Clay and the card base is white which gives us great contrast.
Our focal point is a simple die cut using the leaves from Changing Leaves Dies (online exclusive product) and putting this cut through the Exposed Brick embossing folder to give it some wonder texture.
We used the large label die in the Changing Leaves set and stamped Happy Birthday from the Simply Said stamp set. We used Copper Clay ink to really coordinate the entire color combo.
To embellish we tied a small bow of Iridescent Striped ribbon for the base of the leaf stem and added 3 small 2023-25 In Color Opaque Sparkle dots...of course, we used the Copper Clay dots.
Simple but really has lots of appeal and can be used with any of the colors in the DSP pack--now that's a nice trick.
I'll give you step by step directions for today's project below followed by the supply list.
Stop by Thursday and see what we do with the DSP for another creation!
