Patterned Paper Birthday Card

Without even realizing it I chose a great sketch design for Designer Series Paper for my team’s monthly creative challenge! Each month I choose a sketch design, theme or colour combination for them to use to spark some inkspiration and have some creative fun. They use whatever they have on hand and then post a pic in our Facebook group. For mine I’m making a patterned paper birthday card.

Patterned Paper Birthday Card

I’m having a lot of fun right now crafting with the online exclusive Hello Irresistible DSP. The colours… the designs… so pretty! I especially like the designs using Petal Pink and Flirty Flamingo. To help the colors from the patterned paper stand out I’m using a Basic White card base. Then I layered 2 different designs on top. In between the 2 layers of DSP I have an embossed piece of Flirty Flamingo cardstock. I embossed it using the splatter 3D embossing folder.

Then to make it a birthday card I used a couple of sentiments from the Circle Sayings stamp set. I used Petal Pink ink for one and Flirty Flamingo ink for the other. Once I punched them out using the coordinating punch, I popped it up with some Stampin’ Dimensionals. And to finish it off I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

Stampin’ Up!s DSP packs make it really easy to create a pretty patterned paper birthday card… or any kind of card really!

Check out the card I made earlier this week using the same pack of DSP here.

#SimpleStamping with Hello Irresistible

This week instead of a particular stamp set to feature, I chose some pretty patterned paper! And for this card I’m doing some #SimpleStamping with Hello Irresistible. This month’s #SimpleStamping challenge from Stampin’ Up! is to make any kind of card you want using stamps, ink, paper… and some Designer Series Paper.

The online exclusive Hello Irresistible 6×6 DSP is one of my favourites right now. And with this design I get to show off a few of the different designs in this pack. The designs I chose are using Petal Pink, Flirty Flamingo and Daffodil Delight. So for my card base I’m using Petal Pink.

I popped up every other strip of the DSP using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Then on top of that I added a sentiment from the Bottled Happiness stamp set. I stamped it using Flirty Flamingo ink and then framed it with a piece of Petal Pink cardstock. And since some of the strips are already popped up, I just layered that on top using some Stampin’ SEAL.

#SimpleStamping with Hello Irresistible

It’s hard to stick with #SimpleStamping with Hello Irresistible DSP! I’m so tempted to add some Brushed Brass Butterflies or die cut the sentiment with the Something Fancy dies. I might just have to make another stepped up version.

Monochromatic Card with Patterned Paper

For most of my cards I use 2 colours, sometimes 3 or 4. But I also love a good monochromatic card. And crafting a monochromatic card with patterned paper is a simple way to make it really pretty. I just love the Hello Irresisitible Designer Series Paper! This is such a pretty pack of paper… and great for this kind of card.

To start I picked my DSP design. I chose a simple Pretty Peacock design and so I used that colour for my card base and ink colour too. This is such a pretty colour. I’m really glad Stampin’ Up! brought it back with the recent Colour Refresh they did.

On top of the piece of DSP I added a strip of Pretty Peacock cardstock. But first, to spruce it up a bit I did some tone on tone stamping with the ink splatter image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set. Then on top of that I added the sentiment. This one comes from the In the Moment stamp set. It’s of course stamped with Pretty Peacock ink too.

To finish off this simple card, I popped up the sentiment with a few Stampin’ Dimensionals. And then I added a few of the Flat Adhesive Backed Pearls. Don’t you just love the rainbow effect you get when these catch the light?!

Monochromatic Card with Patterned Paper

It’s so easy to craft a beautiful monochromatic card with patterned paper! All you need to do is pick a design. And right now there’s ALOT of options, so that’s probably going to be the hardest part.

Easy Wiper Pop Up Card

Fancy Folds Design Team

I wasn’t able to join last month’s blog hop, so I’m excited to get back to it! This month we’re making an Easy Wiper Pop Up card. I think we did something similar quite a while back, but this one was definitely easy! For all the measurements and step by step instructions check out this video from Jacque, a demonstrator from New Zealand (I’m pretty sure).

For my design I wanted to add some pretty Designer Series Paper. I just love the Hello Irresistible DSP! The colours and designs are so pretty. And I wanted to use a design I haven’t used yet. The one I chose has Daffodil Delight and Pretty Peacock as it’s colours. So I decided to use Daffodil Delight for my card base. I also used Daffodil Delight to stamp a few flowers using the Season of Chic stamp set and coordinating dies.

For the sentiment I stamped with Pretty Peacock ink. Then I attached it to a piece of Window Sheet which is attached to the mechanism that makes it pop up. And to finish it off I added a bunch of Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

Hello Irresistible

I’m having a lot of fun this week with the new online exclusive Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper. It’s such pretty patterned paper! Lots of great colours and a variety of designs too.

For this design I’m using a sketch I’ve used before. This way I can show off a couple of the different designs. And to help the colours from the DSP really pop, I’m using Basic Black cardstock for my card base.

In the background I stamped some paint splatter from the Quiet Meadow stamp set using Tuxedo Black Memento ink. The sentiment comes from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set. (It’s so easy to forget about the great products in the Annual Catalogue sometimes) Then I die cut the sentiment using one of the Layering Circles dies and popped it up with some Stampin’ Dimensionals. To finish it off I added a few of the Loose Frosted Dots.

Hello Irresistible

Sadly, as I write this, the Loose Frosted Dots are temporarily sold out. But the Hello Irresistible DSP is in stock. I do wonder how long that’ll last though. It’s really pretty and really popular!

Check out some other cards I made using this online exclusive DSP here and over on my Facebook page.

And of course you can grab this and any of the other online exclusive products in my online shop!

Stampin’ Up! is offering something sort of new. They’ve done this once or twice before, but now they’re making it a regular things… online exclusives! So these are products you’ll only be able to find online. No use looking in any of the catalogues! And right now there are a bunch of online exclusive products. One of my favourites is the Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper!

There are some great colours and designs in this pack of patterned paper. And so I wanted to have this be the focus of my card. I’m using Petal Pink as my card base since it’s one of the colours in this more pink design.

On top of this pretty paper I added some Basic White die cut pieces using the Meadows dies. The “thank you” is from the Something Fancy stamp set. I heat embossed it with gold. And then cut it out with one of the coordinating dies. Next I popped up my tag and added some of the gold trim from the Simply Elegant Trim pack.
