Using Leftover Designer Series Paper For Card Making

in Cardmaking, Sale-A-Bration on 01/16/25

Hello Crafters, Bonjour!

We are already Thursday, I’m packing up some things in my Regina Studio to head back home in Ontario.  I’m so excited! I can’t wait to see my family and my class attendees.  I have a cute frame just for them… I love to include attendees gifts with my classes.  On yesterday’s Facebook Live, I shared what to do with  leftover Designer Series Paper.  I featured the Toadstool  Gardens 6″ x 6″ inch Designer Series Paper that is FREE with a qualifying order during Sale A Bration.

Here are other cards featuring the Beautiful Butterflies Bundle and Sale A Bration products:

  • Card No. 1 HERE
  • Card No. 2 HERE

Beautiful Butterflies featuring the Toadstool Gardens 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper

I also added the Purple Adhesive-Backed Sequins and the Fresh Freesia Ribbon since they coordinate so well with the collection. Coordinating all 3 cards these past 3 days was my intention.  I adore the color combination.

Color Combination:

Fresh Freesia
Melon Mambo
Granny Apple Green
Tip:  The Designer Series Paper can be cut in different width.  I choose 1/2″ for my cards.

If you catch the replay you will see that the butterfly does open and the second sentiment is inside.  The card has a special fun fold because of the cool feature from the Beautiful Butterflies Dies. You will love these dies….

How can a simple card have so much beauty?! It’s so colorful and spring ish…

Papercrafting is about preserving memories. I want Papercrafting is about preserving memories. I wanted to make my own DIY frame for a memory keeping of our trip to Banff Alberta! I designed my frame using the Country Woods Designer Series Paper and used @stampinupofficial ‘s Scenic Adventure Bundle and Weekend Adventures collection to embellish. I also made coordinating Polaroid note cards. 

I’m obsessed at making these little Polaroid note cards and will add a couple more to my collection.

A huge thank you to the Stampin’ Through the Cat A huge thank you to the Stampin’ Through the Catalog design team for inviting me to be one of this month’s guest designers! I was truly honored! 

I made a card using Stampin’ Up!’s Good Times Mix & Match Ephemera Pack and paired it with the Extraordinary Flora Bundle and its coordinating Washi Tape.

I went with a fresh, summery palette of Darling Duckling, Flirty Flamingo, Strawberry Slush, and Old Olive. 

Did you know @stampinupofficial is having a  Creative Challenge this month with fresh In Colors to mix with your go-to classics?  Well my card meets the challenge… 💛

What did I use to make this card?

Full details are provided on @stampinthroughthecatalog as well as how Melody, Cindy & Kaitlyn cased some elements and made their own card designs. I love how they explained in details what element inspired them from my card. Go check it out!
