Stampin’ Up!’s Be Merry Designer Series Paper, from the 2017 Annual Catalog, is filled with great images and patterns for almost any Christmas card you want to make. While there are patterns that mix Cherry Cobbler and Garden Green, my favorite pages are the ones that feature only one of those two colors. What a fun stack of papers. Here’s a look a the pages in this stack:
I’ve reached for Be Merry Designer Series Paper a lot this year. Here are some cards I’ve made with this paper (you can click on any of these photos to read the original post for each card):
Because the Cherry Cobbler and Garden Green pages can be isolated to just one of the colors, there are endless possibilities for great color combinations with this paper. Here are some suggested color combinations that can be created with the Cherry Cobbler pages in the Be Merry Designer Series Papers:
Here are some suggested color combinations that can be created with the Garden Green pages in the Be Merry Designer Series Papers:

Holiday classics. Thanks for sharing these yummy color combinations!
Thanks, Mary! I love that so many colors can be paired with these papers – not sure many realize how versatile the pages are. Happy to share.
Thanks for another look at your great cards, Brian. I have lots of DSP but don’t use it that much. Now you’ve inspired me!
Yay! I love playing with DSP, and I hope I’ve inspired you to play with it too. These prints are so versatile and fun.
So festive and beUtiful I could not help but smile!! I love the holiday season!
Thanks, Carrie! That makes me so happy! <3
Wonderful papers. Great colors! All four superbly done!!!! I love Christmas cards!!
Thanks so much, Angela! I’m so glad you like them. The pages in this paper are WONDERFUL! Such a great pack of papers.
Whenever I need to know if colors “play well” together I simply look back at your projects. Colors I would never think would work together, you put them together and add a piece of dsp or another color and it just works. This post needs to be in our files ( primarily so I don’t have to hunt for it, lol).
Yay! I’m so happy to know that these kinds of posts are helpful. I really enjoy pulling them together and am thrilled to know that they help. Thanks, Robbye!
I really am glad I have this set of papers !! I have the Mitten Punch (retired ) and the Xmas Trees Punch (retired) so this was a fun bunch of prints to get to use for my cards !!
Thank you for the color combo choices …. it always helps to know what looks good together before hand !!
Fun papers, right?! So glad you’ve enjoyed creating with them and so happy these color combinations are inspiring. Thanks so much, Sonny!
Love today’s “parade” of Christmas cards. Every one of them is gorgeous! I have got to get myself into the Christmas card mode and do it quickly or I’ll be in panic mode at Thanksgiving time. So may holidays, so many beautiful papers and ink colors, so many amazing SU sets. You make me want them all!
You should have them all, Grace. 😉 I don’t want you to be in a big panic at Thanksgiving. So glad you like the cards and these color combinations. Thanks for your comments!
