Stamping Stray Ducklings – Designer Series Paper!

Welcome to our November Blog Waddle! We are featuring our wonderfully, always coordinated Designer Series Paper, also known as DSP!!

I picked the Oh Holy Night 12″ x 12″ DSP (#161986). This gorgeous Designer Series Paper pairs so beautifully with Night Divine Bundle (#161997) and the Stars at Night Bundle (#162007) to create a wide variety of Christmas cards. Here is a preview of my card.

My card base is Very Vanilla with a layer of the DSP cut from the bottom of the piece. The stable and camel were cut from Pecan Pie, the Holy family in Basic Black, and the animals from Basic Gray using the Night Divine Dies (#161996). The star was die cut using the Stars at Night Hybrid Embossing Folder (162006).

The front is so beautiful, I put the sentiment in side using .

Stamping Stray Ducklings – Designer Series Paper!

Welcome to our October Blog Waddle! We are featuring Designer Series Paper a.k.a. DSP, to create our cards!! I decided on the Countryside Inn 12″ x 12″ DSP (#161467). Do you pick the DSP for your card and let it decide the type of card you make or do you find the DSP to fit the card you want to make? Here are all of the patterns in the Countryside Inn DSP.

I picked the DSP first for my card. I wanted to use several patterns. I used 6 different patterned papers!

My card base is Night of Navy with a layer of the returning color, Misty Moonlight. Then I cut 4 of the patterns at 2-1/2″ x 1-1/4″ being careful of the direction of the pattern and 2 patterns at 1-1/4″ x 1-1/4″. The Basic White piece is also 2-1/2″ x 1-1/4″.

The flowers and leaves were die cut with the Around the Bend Dies (#160649). The sentiment from Circle Sayings (#161348) was stamped in Boho Blue. I added a bow of Night of Navy 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon (#160581) to complete my card.
