Designer Series Paper Organization & more

Today I’m going to share with you my PDF file showing all the wonderful Designer Series Paper that can be found in the Holiday Mini. This chart not only has the Paper and colors list but also includes the item # and price for your easy reference.

2023 September – December Designer Series Paper Chart PDF

I actually print this PDF out twice. The first one I place post on my paper tub so I can see it easily. The second copy I cut apart and tape it to the package of Designer Series Paper itself. This copy is much larger than the included labeling making it quick and easy to see. I can also make notes or highlight the color card stock that I like to use with this pack so I can order more easily too.

How do you organize your paper?

Holiday Catalog update: Please note that some of our products have been so popular they are already in back order. If you would like me to notify you when an item you are interested in returns just let me know. I can even place the order for you if you’d like when it becomes available so you don’t miss out.

Remember, when a Suite is on back order that doesn’t mean every thing isn’t available it might be just one item. Simply enter each item individually, the Bundle receives the 10% discount whether it is ordered in the Suite or as a Bundle.

Pick of the Patch Tutorial #BackStage Swap

Today is going to be short and sweet since I’m taking my computer back to Best Buys to finish things up, I’m hoping. You just don’t know how much you need something until it doesn’t work right. lol.

Today’s card was created with one of the NEW Mini Catalog Bundles, Pick of the Patch (162200) that will be available to order starting on September 6th when the September – December Mini goes LIVE. I couldn’t resist this fun little set that has these cute little pumpkin and gourd images perfect for fall and Halloween.

I’ve teamed up the set with the Them Bones Designer Series Paper (162215) that has this wonderfully warm plaid pattern done in rich warm tones for the season. I think you’ll really enjoy these patterns found in the paper which you focus on the Halloween side or the more neutral side like this one.

This card seemed to be a hit during the swap on Thursday evening. I have a quick video tutorial for you and PDF showing you how I created this card.

Pick of the Patch Thank You Card Tutorial PDF

Enjoy and then stop back by next week when I’ll be sharing some of the swaps that I received in #BackStage Las Vegas with you!

Construction Zone #BackStage Swap Tutorial

Wow, I’m back from Vegas and another fantastic Stampin’ Up! event and sort of have my computer working, so I thought I’d share with you one of the cards that I made for my #BackStage swap in Las Vegas.

I really love the way they turned out and couldn’t pick a favorite color so I made several. I got a good response from my fellow swappers with this Annual Catalog stamp set which was nice too.

I couldn’t resist using the Construction Zone stamp set (161582) that was one of my first must haves but haven’t had time to play with. So since my computer was driving me nuts, I decided it was a great time to chill and create with this fun little set. And I had a blast so I’ll be sharing more tutorials with you soon.

Cute right? and it has some great all occasion sentiments. While my son is now in his 30s I can remember his love of his little tonka trucks and construction equipment. So I know that the cards I create with this set will bring a smile to his face, after all I think it is a great set for our guys all ages.

I chose Crushed Curry from the Regals Collection Designer Series Paper (161642) for my original design that I will share with you today for my tutorial, but as you can see fork lifts come in all colors so the Brights Collection works well too!

Want to see how I made this so you can make some too? Check out my Video tutorial below along with my PDF with measurements, supply list and step by step directions.

Enjoy! and then stop back by again to see my fun fall swap that I made using NEW Holiday MINI products!

More Playing in the Rain

It’s been raining on and off the past week and so I thought it would be a good time to share these cards that were made with the Playing in the Rain stamp set (160556)

It’s been pretty rough temperature wise the last few days with the heat index and so a little rain is always welcome to cool things down.

Aren’t these cards cute?

The Playing in the rain stamp set also has the Playing in the Rain Dies (160550) that coordinate with them and of course a fun Raindrops Embossing Folder (160551) too.

Why not stop by my Online store and check out these products along with others that are available for a bit of rainy day fun?
