SF-2022 August Blog Hop - All About the Paper!

Be sure to hop through all the blogs on the list near the bottom for tons of wonderful inspiration as we create projects that are all about the paper!

 ~*~*~*~*~  

This month our projects are focusing on the amazing papers Stampin' Up! has to offer you - I wanted to make something fun - that featured a few DSP paper designs - so look at this cute set -

I love the new Texture Chic DSP - it is beautiful colors and patterns and splashes of gold.  

Texture Chic DSP #158808  $15.00*

So I decided to showcase it by using the patterns in fun ways.  The card is made of 1 1/4" squares places in a fun diagonal pattern.

Then added a great sentiment, gilded and gemmed dragonfly - and even a few squares to my envelope. 

Then for my 3D project I started with a cute little notebook from the Dollar store (they come in a pack of three).

I wrapped a piece of Vanilla cardstock on the front, top and down a 1/4" on the back - using extra sticky Tear and Tape to hold it.

Then finished decorating the front with similar layers and 1" x 2 3/4" strip of the Designer Series paper and added my initial inside a diamond shape, using the Alphabest Stamp Set.  

Alphabest Set #158884 $22.00*

I just love how it turned out, and who can resist another notepad - right?!?

Hope you enjoyed these fun projects that for sure made the Designer Series Paper the star of the show.

Paper Crafting Blog Hop August 2022 - DSP Spotlight!

 

Welcome to our Paper Crafting Blog Hop for August 2022 - featuring talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from all over the globe including the USA, United Kingdom and Australia. We have a wide array of projects and design styles to share with you this month - all spotlighting - Stampin' Ups! amazing Designer Series Paper!

~*~*~*~*~

For my project I chose to use the beautiful Hues of Happiness DSP - such an absolutely delightful paper. So versatile and so bright and cheery.

#158822 Hues of Happiness DSP

I wanted to make a card that just shouted it's beauty - so I made this accordion fold card and the entire base is made out of the DSP -

You start with a base of DSP that is 5 1/2" x 12" and score along the long side at 1 3/4", 4 3/4" and 7 3/4"; then fold back and forth to get the base that will fit into a medium envelope.

Next decorate as desired - so I die cut some pieces from the Painted Label Dies; fussy cut some flowers from the Hues of Happiness DSP; and added sentiment from the Happiness Abounds set, with Flirty Flamingo ink.

#159238 Happiness Abounds set

Here is the front of the card opened wide - with a couple spots to add some personal thoughts -

And the back of the card - just as beautiful -

So there you go - it really is all about the Designer Series Paper!

I hope you got some inspiration from this card. Thank you so much for stopping by and I would love any comments!
