I gotta say, at first I wasn’t so sure about the Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper from the new Sale-a-bration catalogue. Part of me was wondering if some of the patterns were too busy. But I’m glad I got it anyway! Yes, there are a couple designs that aren’t my favourite, but there are lots of other great designs in this pack of patterned paper. So I decided to use if for the Make and Take for my catalogue launch party last weekend.
I used a card design that let me use a couple different designs of DSP. And the two I chose are actually on the same sheet, just different sides. From there I pulled a couple of the colours from the Designer Series Paper for my colour combo; Peach Pie and Shy Shamrock. I haven’t used the newest In Colours in a while so this was fun! They’re bright and colourful just like the DSP. And these colours are great for Spring, which is only 6 weeks away!
The card base is Peach Pie. Then I layered a piece of Basic White and Shy Shamrock cardstock on top. On top of that I layered the two different designs of patterned paper. Next I wrapped some of the White 1/4″ Diagonal Trim from the combo pack (the other colour is Petal Pink) around all three layers and added a bow. Then I popped it all up with a bunch of Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The sentiment is from the new Hugs for Love stamp set. I stamped that with Peach Pie and then used Shy Shamrock for the fun border. Then I punched it out with the coordinating punch and layered it on top of my Designer Series Paper. To finish it off I added a few Brushed Brass Butterflies. I love these little guys! And not just because I love butterflies. They just add a little something when you want something but don’t want to use jewels or gems.
The Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper pack has definitely won me over! I’m looking forward to crafting with it some more.
In the meantime, check out another card I made using another great pack of patterned paper, Beautiful Bokeh, here.
