Today’s tip is nothing new, just something I, myself, tend to overlook. It’s all about getting the most from your Designer Series Paper. The new Patio Party paper is a perfect example of what you can do with DSP.
Always look for ways to use punches with paper to get a new look. In this first example, I used the 1-3/4″ punch to cut out the large circles to make a fun background.
Colors: Primrose Petals, Baja Breeze
Stamp Set: Layered Labels #127072
Accessories: Apothecary Accents Framelits, Baja Breeze Seam Binding, Pearl Basic Jewels
On this next example, I used a strip from the DSP to make an accent for the card.
Colors: Night of Navy, Summer Starfruit, White
Stamp Sets: Mixed Bunch, #125537, Itty Bitty Banners, #126257
Accessories: Bitty Banners Framelits, Fancy Fan Embossing Folder, Blossom Punch, 3/4″ Punch
Finally, if you don’t have a particular stamp, look for a way to use a cute image from your DSP. In this case, I used the cake. All it took was a pair of scissors!
Colors: Baja Breeze, White
Stamp Set: Itty Bitty Banners, #126257
Accessories: Bitty Banners Framelits, Designer Frames Folder (Oval), Extra-Large oval Punch
And there you have it. Do you have some examples you’d like to share? I’d love to hear about it if you do!
