More Love for Pick a Pattern Designer Series Paper

Yesterday’s project for this week’s Global Design Project Sketch Challenge features one of my favorite patterns from Pick a Pattern Designer Series Paper.  If you missed it, you can see it here.  Today’s sweet and simple project features another favorite from this pack of papers.  Here’s my card:

Sunshine Wishes Thinlits, Pick a Pattern Designer Series Paper, Stampin' Up!, Brian King

Tips, Tricks and Reminders

  • I Love Pick a Pattern.  When I think of love, I think of Crushed Curry.  No.  Not really – but look how wonderful it looks with Flirty Flamingo.  While this page of paper only showcases Crushed Curry, Whisper White and Basic Black, I saw how well Flirty Flamingo coordinated, so I colored some of the circles with a Stampin’ Write Marker.  Such fun!  It really gives this paper a different look.  I showcased this card during my World Card Making Day event to showcase how easy it is to transform Designer Series Paper patterns.  Here’s a look at the patterns and colors in this pack of papers:  Pick a Pattern Designer Series Paper, Stampin' Up!Pick a Pattern Designer Series Paper is one of the papers that’s on sale in October (buy 3, get 1 free) – you don’t want to miss this deal!  What fun!  Click this banner to see all the papers that are a part of this special:Buy 3, Get 1 Free Designer Series Paper Sale
  • Sunshine Wishes Thinlits.  This is the second time in the past two weeks that I’ve shared a project with the Sunshine Wishes Thinlits (you can see the last project here).  They might feel a little “old-hat” by now (they’ve been around for more than a year now), but these dies are as fresh and fun as they were when we first saw them.  I’ve asked Stampin’ Up! to offer every word in the dictionary with this font, but I’m not sure my wishes are being recognized.  Here’s a look at this wonderful set of dies:

  • Unique Color Combination.  If it weren’t for this pack of paper, I don’t know that I ever would have paired Flirty Flamingo with Crushed Curry.  The two are almost so diametrically opposed that they look wonderful together.  This combination was a risk that paid off.  If you like this combination, please save this:  Stampin' Up!

  1. Ohh!! what a happy, cheerful card, made my heart happy as soon as I saw it.
    I would never put those colors together but they look wonderful.
    Thank you for sharing that color combination chart, they help a lot.

    • Thank you so much, Maria! I pulled these colors from the other pages of this paper – I can’t really take credit. I love them together, too. It feels so right and yet so wrong. 🙂

  2. This card is so cute! You’re right about pairing those colors- not a likely combination, but once again- it works !!!

    • Thanks so much, Rene! This color combination is a big shocker – I would have NEVER put them together without that little push from Stampin’ Up!. Glad you like it.

  3. This is super cute! I have to remember to color the DSP.

  4. I love the simplicity of this card. Coloring the DSP adds another element of ‘zing’ to your wonderful card.

  5. I love how you made the DSP your own by adding the pink, genious! The Flirty Flamingo looks great with the Crushed Curry. Great card!

  6. I LOVE how cohesive it looks with the touch of pink on the DSP!

  7. I seem to always focus on the color combinations and this one is a hit. I’m with you on the thinlits too! Bring them on!

  8. Brian – you are a dog gone genius! You pulled it all together with a marker. Need I say more? Love it!

  9. Brian I agree, I would not have thought to put these colors together, however; Black (the beautiful neutral that it is) makes colors connect!
    AND, adding in spots of color on the DSP… Perfect!

  10. Great color palette, love how you used Sushine Wishes thinlits. All in all awesome card. Great job Brian.

  11. Ooooooh yes that’s a lovely, love card my friend ♥️
    Hugs Frenchie ♥️

  12. Love your creative swagger in coloring the dsp. I think getting the “Paper Shares ” helps me decide what I want to get more of to play with and since you introduced “Coloring On DSP ” by Brian …..well I just gotta get more to experiment with colors like you do !!!
