Tips & Tricks of Using Designer Paper in Card-making
September 03, 2024
Today we're discovering more Tips & Tricks of Using Desinger Paper in Card-making. Today's designer paper is the 2024-2026 In Color DSP....
Here's today's creations....
& a bit closer look at the focal point...
We selected the Peach Pie cardstock as our base and then nabbed the striped design of the same color from the In Color DSP pack. The base was covered with a Peach layer embossed with the Painted Texture folder--it's a nice texture but doesn't overpower the focal point--it stays in the background.
We did an underlayer for the DSP in Pumpkin Pie (sounds like a bakery here, right? all these pies) which adds a bit of contrast and makes that designer paper pop.
Now we used the wheat and greeting from the Autumn Expressions stamp set (new one in the Holiday mini that is available tomorrow!). We chose the wheat for it's solid image...didn't need any coloring and coordiates well with the greeting.
We topped the wheat with the black twine bow that sets it off nicely. The Textured Dots embellishments were just the best final touch.
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!
