3 Cards Featured Here w/ Retired Designer Paper (some stamps & dies carried over)

On this bright and cheerful card, I used the Best Butterflies stamp set & dies which retired. The beautiful paper called Butterfly Kisses is retired as well. The Biggest Wish stamp set was used for the sentiment and it's still available in the BRAND NEW ANNUAL CATALOG!

This creation features designer paper from the Lovely in Linen pack which is gone. The Color & Contour stamp set and Scalloped Contour dies were carried over. The Double Oval Punch did NOT retire which I'm very happy about!

Right here is "simple stamping" at it's finest!! I love it when our gorgeous designer paper does all the work (which is the case with Hues of Happiness). It also retired of course, but if you have some of this designer paper left-- try a super easy design like this one : )

Simple Birthday Card Featuring Fancy Flora Designer Series Paper

This is such a simple (but pretty) card using 2 different packs of designer series paper. I used the Stitched Rectangle Dies and the Seasonal Labels Dies (for the sentiment).

Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent were both used and I'm very sad to see both these green shades retire, because I think they look FABULOUS together!!

And what about that Fancy Flora DSP? I just love it when pretty paper does all the work for me on my creations : ) Makes my job easier, don't you agree?

Layered Stripes Background Stamp & Striped Pattern Made from Designer Paper Strips

Hi Stampers! I made this creation by using 5 different colors of Stampin'Write Markers and a background stamp. In the current Spring Mini Catalog, you will find the big stamp called Layered Stripes (pg. 28). It felt like I was "painting" with the markers when I added all that color to the background stamped image. It was very fun for me!! Besides markers, and the Layered Stripes stamp, I used the following:

--Double Oval Punch

--Stitched Rectangle Dies

--Shaded Summer Stamp Set

--Three Twine Combo Pack

This was another fun card to make with a striped look once again!! I cut paper strips from a Soft Suede retired paper pack, and also used Ready To Ride designer paper from the current mini catty. The Stitched Rectangle Dies were used again on this card. The sentiment comes from Peaceful Moments set and I finished off the card with a little bit of black bakers twine.

Thank you for stopping by today. Please ask any questions and/or leave me a comment on the above post. If you like what you see (and even if you don't) I appreciate your feedback!

STAMPIN' UP! EASTER BUNNY SET + RETIRING FRESH FREESIA

Hello stampers! This is a great layout to utilize for designer paper. (I used the retired Dandy Designs from Sale-A-Bration because it has the colors I wanted) : )

I simply used Thick White Card Stock for my base and then a layer of Fresh Freesia. After adding the 3 pcs. of designer paper, I implemented a pretty Fresh Freesia bow as well.

I stamped and colored the critter from the Easter Bunny stamp set. The die used to cut out the bunny comes from Sentimental Park Dies. Easy peasy!!

Thanks for visiting my blog. Just let me know if you have questions and/or comments on the above post. I would LOVE to hear from you and welcome any feedback.

Don't You Just LOVE Designer Series Paper from StampinUP? (my motto is: "You can never have too much DSP")

The little strip of DSP on this card comes from the Pattern Party pack (pg. 171- current Annual Catalog). I also used the Hand-Penned Stamp Set & matching dies. The white pc. of card stock was embossed with the Texture 3D Emboss Folder (retiring). My colors of choice on this creation include: Pool Party, Pale Papaya, Granny Apple Green, Flirty Flamingo and White.

For this card, I used 2 different packs of DSP. (Pattern Party and Sweet Talk for the tiny bit of purple stripes). Both the flower image and sentiment come from the Color & Contour stamp set. My color combo consists of: Black, White, Daffodil Delight and Highland Heather.

What do you think of the cards today? I just love all of the gorgeous Designer Series Paper from Stampin'UP. Wait until you see all the brand new selections of DSP in the new Annual Catalog!! Remember, my motto above--lol

Heart & Home Designer Series Paper Featured on 3 Simply Stamped Cards

Today I'm showcasing 3 very easy card creations where the beautiful designer paper does all the work!! I love the Heart & Home DSP shown on page 59 in the new Mini Catalog. This card base is Garden Green.

Besides that paper, I used the following StampinUP products:

--Flowers of Home Dies

--Inspired Thoughts Stamp Set (sentiment)

--Basic Rhinestone Jewels

--Messages Dies

For this card, I used the Heart & Home paper again (2 separate designs). Used the Flowers of Home Dies and the In-Color Jewels in Pale Papaya. The "thanks" comes from the Artistically Inked set and the card base is Fresh Freesia.

3 separate pcs. of the featured DSP were used on this card. I used the same dies as mentioned above (Messages and Flowers of Home). Card base is thick white.

If you have any questions about a card, please ask. I appreciate you blogging by!! LORI

2 Cards that Feature 2 Different Designer Series Paper by StampinUP

The GORGEOUS paper on this card comes from the Expressions In Ink pack (Annual Catalog-pg. 131). Gold Foil paper was used to cut out the big die from the Artistic Die set. Gilded Gems from StampinUP were used to go along with the gold scheme. "Hello" comes from the Artistically Inked stamp set (pg. 97).

Though I made this card, it was designed by Sheryl D. of Morton IL. We had a "Shoebox Swap" in November so a few of us demos got to make each others projects during that event. Very fun!!

For that same demo swap event I mentioned above, this was the project I contributed. It was a very quick and easy card for the gals to make that evening. Color combo includes: Black, Vanilla, Basic Gray, and Petal Pink.

Here are a few StampinUP products used:

--Petal Pink 5/8 in. Ribbon

--Simply Elegant Designer Series Paper

--Queen Anne's Lace stamp set

If you have any questions about either card design, please let me know. Both these card layouts would be very easy to duplicate with any stamps and designer paper you have on hand!! Thanks very much for your blog visit.....LORI
