Designer Series Paper is one of my favorite sources of creative inspiration, and the Everyday Essentials Mix & Match Designer Series Paper has been a joy to work with! Today I’m sharing a collection of projects I’ve created with these papers, along with several color combinations pulled directly from the pack and a few fresh combinations created by adding just one extra color. If you love finding new color inspiration for your cards, this post is for you!
This month’s Royal Stamp & Share challenge was to create a card with no stamping. Using Stampin’ Up!’s Mix & Match collection, I made three adorable notecards during our live Zoom call with the InKing Royalty team. These coordinating papers, ephemera pieces, and sentiments make quick-and-easy cardmaking a breeze. Stop by today to see all three projects and discover why I’m loving these Mix & Match products! ♥
Welcome to this week’s Week in Review! This week included a Father’s Day parade of masculine cards, a seven-layer card that refused to stay simple, a beautiful Golden Glow bouquet, Product Shares from the upcoming Online Exclusives launch, and a card inspired by the spirit of Juneteenth.
I’m also sharing photos of the finished quilt my mom made for my nephew after completing pilot school – a project many of you followed when she visited earlier this year.
Take a stroll through the week with me. There are plenty of cards, a few personal updates, and a couple of bonus photos waiting for you. ♥
Father’s Day is tomorrow! If you’re still looking for inspiration, I’m sharing a parade of masculine card ideas from the past year (and beyond). Some use retired products, some were designed for other occasions, but all of them offer ideas you can adapt with supplies you already own. Pop over for a little Father’s Day inspiration!
Today’s card was inspired by Juneteenth – not as a literal representation of the holiday, but as a thoughtful tribute to remembrance, freedom, and hope. The design features Nature Walk Designer Series Paper, including a page printed with words from Frances Ellen Watkins Harper’s poem Songs for the People, paired with a sentiment about honoring yesterday while shaping tomorrow. I hope you’ll stop by to see how this meaningful card came together. ♥
I set out to make a simple two-layer card… and somehow ended up with seven layers instead! Thankfully, the finished design still feels clean and simple, thanks to a gorgeous oversized sentiment, beautiful patterned papers and some sweet new Adhesive-Backed Blooms. Stop by the blog for a closer look at today’s cheerful get well card and the color combination that brought it all together.
Swatch Books, Papers & Ribbons – oh, my! July’s Online Exclusives are just around the corner, so I’m launching my Product Shares to help you get a little bit of all the incredible consumables in this offering. Sign up today so you don’t miss out! Click here to check out more about my shares offering. ♥
I finally found the perfect backdrop for a floral arrangement I colored weeks ago! Featuring Artisan Sketched Garden Designer Series Paper, Golden Glow accents, and a touch of Melon Mambo, today’s card showcases how the right background can bring a design to life.
The Delicate Dreams Specialty Designer Series Paper is finally back in stock, and I couldn’t wait to put it to work! Like Saturday’s project, today’s card combines these gorgeous floral papers with the Rounded Rectangle Punch for an elegant design that’s surprisingly easy to recreate. Pop over for a closer look, project details, and measurements. ♥
This week’s recap includes a few final Alaska memories, a fun Escape Room adventure with friends, and a look back at every project I shared throughout the week. From butterflies and z-fold cards to sweet bears and beautiful color combinations, there’s plenty of inspiration waiting for you. Plus, I’ve tucked in a few behind-the-scenes stories and bonus details along the way. ♥
