Paper Crafting Blog Hop – DSP

10 Comments

Welcome to our August Paper Crafting Blog Hop with Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from all over the world! Each demonstrator is featuring projects created with our wonderful Designer Series Paper (DSP)!

You may have arrived here from Shirley’s blog. She had a great project! My card features the fun Design a Daydream 12 x 12 Host Designer Series Paper found in the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog. There are so many fun patterns in this big assortment of DSP!

The card base is Balmy Blue with three strips of DSP in varying widths. Then a piece of Basic White is added at an angle. The candles are die cut in Old Olive, Daffodil Delight, Blackberry Bliss, Petal Pink, and Balmy Blue using the Sentiment Silhouettes Dies (#158733). The flames and stars die cut in Crushed Curry. A fourth piece of DSP was used to stamp the sentiment on, in Basic Black using the Charming Sentiments photopolymer stamp set (#159985). The stamps and dies are available at a 10% discount in the Charming Sentiments Bundle (#158734)!

Sale-A-Bration ends the end of August, so look through the annual and mini catalogs and order what you must have and earn free products! Order a total of $150 and purchase the Design a Dream DSP with your host dollars!
