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…

Multiple ways to get the Beautiful Butterflies Card Class:

  • FREE Cards By Mail with a $75 order (precut pieces, video tutorial, PDF and bonus sampler)
  • FREE to Team Members (Join My TEAM HERE )
  • Card Kit To Go (sent by mail in Canada Only)
  • In person  in my Ontario Studio (with other choices from the Sale A Bration Catalogue)
