Today we're learning More Tricks Using Double Sided Designer Paper to Creat Fun Cards.  The Regal Family designer paper is our selection for this week's cards...it has 4 designs per color --in all 10 colors.  This time of year I tend to linger in the warmer earthtones than my usual Subtle shaded.

Here's the set of papers

& today's card...

a closer look...

Each sheet has 2 designs (front & back) giving a total of 4 designs per color.  In today's card we are using the front & back of both sheets--thus all 4 designs. This is such a simple design & with 10 different colors--you can create a lovely rainbow of cards using this simple formula.

The Vanilla base is mellow with our Crushed Curry. We cut strips of differing width but the same length (4").  These are layered on a vanilla base that is exactly 4" long but allows us to leave about 1/8" between the strips.

The circles are created with Spotlight in Nature dies. The greeting is from Poised Peony & fits a circle label quite nicely. The under stamped leaves are from the Changing Leaves stamp set (Online Exclusive) in Crushed Curry (see below for the secret tip for this lighter curry color).

Last but never least we used the sparkly Opal Rounds with one of them outside the circle which ties it all together.

Stop back Thursday to see another stunner!

Today we're learning Switching Sides with Iconic Images & Designer Paper Making Cards. Tuesday we looked at 2 sheet of Iconic Designer paper and created a Celebration card---if you missed it check it out here Click here to see Tueday's card.

The stamp set (Iconic Images) is shown below with the dies

And these are the 2 sheets being used (dots are on the back of the acorns & plaid is on the back of the pumpkins.

The Iconic bundle and the designer paper are all Online Exclusives...this only means that they are shown in the online store and not in the catalog--but you can purchase them any way that you currently place orders.

As you will remember Tuesday we cut diagonlly through two pieces of designer paper--one was from right to left and the other from left to right.

The reason we cut them in opposite directions was to be able to re-orient our card front in the opposite direction...so here's our card for today...

For this card the major image, the acorns & leaves, are in the lower left section while the coordinating paper is in the upper right...it's fun to swith things up sometimes.

When we did this the orientation of the tag with the greeting seemed more visually appealing if it were horizontal instead of on the diagonal.

I'll give you step by step directions for today's project below followed by the supply list.

Stop by next week to see what's cookin!

Today we're Using Designer Paper with Iconic Images Stamps & Dies to Create Cards. For the last couple of weeks we've been using Designer Papers in fun ways. This week we're combining a new Designer Paper with a coordinating new set of stamps and dies.

Here's the new stamps & dies

And here are the 2 pieces of designer paper we're using from the Iconic Celebration DSP set---dots are reverse side of the acorns and the plaid is on the reverse side of the pumpkins...we are coordinating them as shown below for our cards this week.

The reason we're looking at 2 sheets of paper it thar our design this week uses half of one sheet and half of the other to create the card for today and Thursday.

Here's today's card...

The Iconic set has images for several seasons and occasions during the year.  Since it is September I saw the pumpkins and decided this was our focal point but wanted a coordinating piece to go with it...as I was thumbing through the series I saw the dotted sheet that was perfect.

I wanted a simple design since we are frequently in a rush...so I chose to cut the paper in diagonal halves to provide interest.

The Celebrate greeting is wonderful for so many occasions we used that as our verse stamped in the coordinating ink on a die cut from this die set.

Of course using the Sparkle Dots always adds that touch of charm to the card.

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!

Today we're discovering another Tip & Trick for Using Designer Paper for Card-making. Tuesday we created a really fun card by stamping directly on the designer paper...if you missed it check it out here Click here to see Tuesday's Card.

Again, today we're using the Peach Pie designer paper from the 2024-2026 In Color DSP pack--so many pretty colors to choose from!

Here's today's feature...

And a closer peak...

Using the same Peach Pie base and overlay...this time the overlay was dry embossed with the Dashing Designs embossing folder (in the annual catalog).

We selected the Peach Pie designer paper with the small circles this time and die cut that lovely decorative circle (Spotlight on Nature) for our focal point. Now here's the fun Tip and Trick...we stamped the leaves outline image (also Spotlight on Nature) in Memento ink directly on the designer paper AND, then we colored the image with our Blends..because of the design we chose---a bit subtle & not overpowering... the image and the coloring do not show through. Isn't that an awesome focal point?

We added an under circle with a different decorative edge and lets the first circle show through the edging quite nicely.

The Textured Dots keep with the autumn theme as does the black twine bow on the leaf stem.

The 'thanks' was stamped on a coordinating Pumpkin label and popped up with dimensionals.

Stop by next Tuesday for our newest creation!

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!

Today we're using Another Fun Trick Using Designer Series Papaer to Create Cards. Tuesday we created a cute simple birthday card using DSP--if you missed it check it out here Click here to see Tuesday's card.

Here's today's creation...

and a bit closer peek...

Today we're  using the same card layout as we did on Tuesday. However, today our focal point is die cut from the designer paper instead of using the designer paper as the background for the focal point. By doing this we've created a very interesting leaf stem with absolutely no effort!

This card base is Copper Clay cardstock topped with a very thin border of white to coordinate with the white in the designer paper.

We've topped that off with a layer of Copper Clay and this layer is put through the Dotted Circle embossing folder...such a cute and fun embossing.

Our greeting is from the Simply Said set and we've stamped that on a round label die cut from the Changing Leaves Dies.

The embellishment consists of a sweet bow from the Iridescent Striped Ribbon and large Blooming Pearls (gold).

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!

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!
