Designer Series Paper

Forever & Always (Always & Forever / True Love DSP)

by Kylie January 18, 2021

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, I was tidying up the dinner table as I had craft supplies everywhere. (Can you relate?!) We currently cannot use the dining table at our temporary accommodation as I have taken it over with crafting goodies. As I was tidying I realised I had quite a lot of images coloured from one of the patterned papers from the True Love Designer Series Paper. I usually gather these extra pieces together and put them in a clear envelope with the stamp set but decided to make another card instead.

As the True Love DSP is part of the Love You Always suite, I decided to pair it with the Forever & Always bundle which is also part of this suite.

Here’s the card…

I totally love this paper and have already ordered a second pack. It can be used for so many different projects…well, I will be using for lots of different projects once I stop colouring all those gorgeous flower images!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

Thank You (Heal Your Heart / True Love DSP)

by Kylie January 6, 2021

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, now that you’ve had a chance to check out the new January to June 2021 Mini Catalogue and the Sale-A-Bration catalogue, do you have any favourites? One of the items which I loved from the outset is the True Love Designer Series Paper. I love the Black and White geometric look which goes with just about anything but I also love that you can colour and fussy cut out some of the floral images on the reverse side. That’s what I’ve done here! With only one sheet of paper, I’ve used one side to create the background of my card and the other side, I’ve coloured and cut out the flower images to create the focal point of the card.

The sentiment comes from the Sale-A-Bration stamp set Heal Your Heart (this can be yours for free with a qualifying $90 order). I simply embossed the image with white embossing powder and then fussy cut it out. The final touch to the card was to add some of the new Matte Black Dots.

To step the card up a bit, you could pop up wth flowers with some Stampin’ Dimensionals. You could also add a coat of Wink of Stella to add a little more interest.

Here’s the card…

Isn’t the paper beautiful?! I’ve already ordered my second pack as I cannot stop using it! Are you a fan of the black and white, with a pop of colour, look?

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

Designer Series Paper Hello Snail Mail

Hello (Snail Mail Designer Series Paper)

by Kylie December 28, 2020

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, one of the cutest suites in the upcoming January to June 2021 Mini Catalogue is the Snail Mail suite. It has the most darling images in the stamp set and the patterned paper pack. In fact, the card I am sharing uses only the Snail Mail Designer Series Paper. There’s no stamping or colouring at all on this card – just the patterned paper. Some of the dies from the Snails die set also cut out images from the paper but for other images, you will need to do a little bit of fussy cutting.

Here’s the card…

Aren’t the snails so cute?! I also love those cute mushrooms and toadstools. They are just darling and really help you add that little bit extra to your card design.

All of the new items featured above will be available from 5 January 2021. If you cannot wait, Demonstrators can actually obtain these products now. You can join here if this interests you.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

Approaching Perfection Birthdays Designer Series Paper

Happy Birthday (Approaching Perfection / True Love DSP)

by Kylie December 18, 2020

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today three of my friends and family members are celebrating birthdays! Well, technically, one is on the 17th but with the different time zones they all end up celebrating on the same day. For their cards, I decided to play with the new True Love Designer Series Paper and the Approaching Perfection. Both items will be available from 5 January 2020. What I love about the True Love DSP is that you can colour it yourself with your preferred colouring medium. I also love that while one side has lots of floral imagery, the other side has plainer, more geometric shapes which can be used in so many different ways.

As I needed to make three cards, I went with my favourite “same but different” theme. All three cards use the same products, but I’ve just changed up where I have placed the sentiment, the Rhinestones, and the width of the strip of paper down the left-hand side.

Here are the cards…

Which is your favourite of the three? I quite like them all but if pressed, today, I would choose the second card.

All of the new items featured above will be available from 5 January 2021. If you cannot wait, Demonstrators can actually obtain these products now. All the signing up details are here, if this interests you.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

Designer Series Paper Sale Thank you Whale Done

Thanks (Whale Done) / Final few hours of the Designer Series Paper Sale!

by Kylie October 31, 2020

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today I am sharing one of my new favourite card designs. It’s so simple but looks so effective! If you are a newsletter subscriber, you’ve already had a sneak peek at this card. I’ve created it using the Whale of a Time Designer Series Paper and the Whale Done Stamp set. I love pretty much everything about the Whale of a Time suite. The colours look amazing together, for starters, let alone the beautiful imagery!

Here’s the card…

If you are interested in making a card like this, it is so simple. You will need to cut three strips of patterned paper at 7.5 x 4cm each. These are attached to a panel which is 8cm x 13cm in size. Once you’ve done this step, attach the panel to your card base with either Seal or Stampin’ Dimensionals. All that is left is to finish off the card. You could leave it with just a sentiment or add a few extra details as I have done here.

To mix things up, you could also change the orientation so that the card is in portrait mode. It looks so good too! These cards are SO easy to make. You could easily make a heap in very little time. I hope you have fun!

If you need to stock up on some Designer Series Paper so you can create fantastic cards like this, then you will love the fact that the Designer Series Paper sale is still going on! If you have been thinking about ordering paper but have thought you have plenty of time, time is now running out. The sale ends at 11.50 pm tonight!

Here are the rest of the papers on sale…

So, now is most definitely the time to stock up on your Designer Series Paper (especially the designs you might use for your Christmas cards this year). Just a reminder, the sale ends at 11.50 pm tonight!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

A Wish for Everything CASE the Catalogue Designer Series Paper

Wishing You a Happy Birthday (A Wish For Everything)

by Kylie October 31, 2020

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, Happy Halloween! What a different experience it is going to be for many this year! Halloween isn’t a big thing in Australia, although it is gaining popularity. Not much happens in my neighbourhood most years. The card I am sharing isn’t one you’d necessarily pick as being Halloween but I thought it seemed a perfect option for today. The card uses items from the Magic In This Night suite which is the main offering from Stampin’ Up! for Halloween this year. Stampin’ Up! is also the source of inspiration for my card. I’m CASE-ing (Copy And Share Everything) a card they shared on their Facebook page yesterday. It immediately grabbed my attention and I wanted to share the idea with you all.

First up, you’ll need the Magic In This Night Designer Series Paper. Find the black floral image design, grab your Paper Snips and start cutting out all the different images. To add colour, I scribbled the Pretty Peacock Stamp ‘N Write Marker on to an Acrylic Block. With my Water Painter, I picked up some of the ink and watercoloured some of the images. I had initially tried to colour directly on to the paper but I found it was too dark and you lost some of the detail of the paper. I adhered the images to the cardstock panel. Next up, I added my sentiment. The stamped images are from A Wish For Everything. The die is from the coordinating die set Word Wishes. The sequins were the finishing touch. I used the Artistry Blooms Adhesive-Backed Sequins as that was all I had on hand. I first coloured the Balmy Blue sequins with the Dark Bermuda Bay Stampin’ Blends Marker but it wasn’t quite the right colour. I then tried colouring over this with the Pretty Peacock Stamp ‘N Write Marker. It did work but it can wipe off so I probably wouldn’t use this in the future. I’ll stick to using Stampin’ Blends to colour sequins and rhinestones.

Here’s the card…

Isn’t it awesome? I love the dark colours with the Pretty Peacock. It’s so different! I think it would also look fabulous when combined with Blackberry Bliss too! I hope you’ll give it a go!

On Sale!

Designer Series Paper Poinsettia Petals Technique

Create two gorgeous cards using the Tailored Tag Punch (Poinsettia Petals)

by Kylie October 30, 2020

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, creating beautiful backgrounds with the Tailored Tag punch has been one of my favourite things to do this month. I’ve been punching up a storm! I love this technique and I love that every card does look different despite being essentially the same. If you are a paper hoarder you HAVE to give this technique a go as you cannot mess it up!

I’m sharing two cards today which members of my newsletter list have already seen as I shared them in my mid-month newsletter. What I love about these cards is that they use paper from the same paper pack – the Poinsettia Place Designer Series Paper pack – but due to the different colour of cardstock base and embellishments they end up having such a different feel about them.

Here’s the first card…

Here’s the second card…

I think my favourite of the above cards is the second one. I love that more earthy colour palette. Which do you prefer?

If you need a little more information about this technique, I do have a process video you can see. Rest assured, it is SO simple! You are going to love it!

On Sale!

Blog Hop Celebrate Sunflowers Designer Series Paper Technique

Kylie’s Demonstrator Support Program Blog Hop October 2020

by Kylie October 13, 2020

written by Kylie

Hi everyone and welcome to the first blog hop for Kylie’s Demonstrator Support Program for the new Stampin’ Up! year. I so enjoyed hopping with everyone over the past 12 months that I signed up to do it again this new year. The blog hops happen on a monthly basis and it is a fun activity which allows you to express your creativity and see how others express theirs. I love hopping to each of the blogs and leaving a comment.

Thank you for hopping onto my blog. Maybe you are starting here or you have come from another blog – either way you can find the link list at the bottom of this post so that you can see every blog post and idea shared today.

The card I am sharing today is a Thank You card you might receive from me when you order through my online store. It is made with the same technique I shared yesterday (there’s also a video if you’d like to see it in a little more detail). It’s a super simple card but looks so very pretty.

Pick some Designer Series Paper you like (and, yay, selected papers are on sale this month) and punch out lots of shapes with the Tailored Tag punch. I used papers from the Flowers for Every Season 6×6 Designer Series Paper pack. Adhere the punched pieces on to a separate cardstock panel, trim the excess and add to your card base. You can step up the card at this point by adding an extra mat layer, or you can keep it simple as I have done here. To finish the card I added the sentiment (which was from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set), some ribbon and Rhinestones.

Tip: If you don’t have coordinating ribbon, you can dye white ribbon with your Stampin’ Blends markers as I did for this card.

Here’s the card…

Here are all of the participants…

Thanks for hopping with us. Don’t you agree everyone is so creative and talented. It’s always so inspiring seeing all the gorgeous cards and projects!

Christmas Designer Series Paper

Happy Holidays (Trimming the Town DSP)

by Kylie October 10, 2020

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, the card I am sharing today is quite different for me because…I haven’t done any stamping at all! It’s all made from the beautiful papers in the Trimming the Town Designer Series Paper (which is on sale for 15% off this month – yay!). If you are thinking to yourself, ah, but Kylie, I don’t like fussy cutting! Don’t stress! Some of the designs on the papers are sized to coordinate perfectly with the Home Together dies!

This is actually a really simple card and took very little time to put together. If you are a keen observer you might also realise that the house is pieced together from two different houses. I was trying to maximise my use of the paper and the first house cut off some of the chimney. The second house was missing the lower part of the house. I die cut them both and pieced them together! Easy peasy!

Here’s the card…

I think it is such a sweet card! I hope you’ll take another look at the gorgeous Trimming the Town papers and see how you might make them the feature in your crafting.

On Sale!

Designer Series Paper Whale Done

You’re kind of a BIG DEAL (Whale Done)

by Kylie October 8, 2020

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today’s card is super simple but packs a BIG punch! It features the gorgeous Whale of a Time Designer Series Paper (which is on sale for 15% off this month – yay!).

The Whale of a Time Designer Series Paper has so many gorgeous designs which can be used to create subtle or scenic backgrounds, or you can even cut or punch out the designs to create accents for your projects. It’s so versatile. I also love the rich, gorgeous colours! They are beautiful!

To create this card, I cut out a panel of the Whale of a Time paper which had a lovely background of a school of fish. I then punched out a whale from another sheet, and fussy cut out some of the smaller whales from a third sheet. As you get four of each paper design in a pack, you still have plenty of paper to use for other cards.

The sentiment and heart came from the coordinating Whale Done stamp set. As I wanted to keep this card simple, I didn’t add any other embellishments. I did add a coat of Wink of Stella to the whales, just to make the card a little extra special.
