I love to collect and use Stampin’ Up!’s Designer Series Papers. What a great way to find inspiration for our projects! The colors and patterns pair perfectly with other products we love. Since the brilliantly blue Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper debuted in Stampin’ Up!’s August – December 2020 Mini Catalog, I have shared several projects with the cold, snowy pages in this unique pack of papers. The pages are filled with beautiful, watercolored images that are perfect for Christmas, and some of the watercolored pages can be used throughout the year. I’m excited to share a bit more about this pack of papers today.
I often pull my colors right from the Designer Series Papers as a starter. That’s a huge benefit of our Designer Series Papers – they are designed with the amazing shades in our color families, so the pair perfectly with our cardstock, inks and accessories. Here’s a look at the patterns and colors in the Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper:
All of these blues and purples are gorgeous together – don’t you agree? The pack includes Balmy Blue, Coastal Cabana, Highland Heather, Misty Moonlight, Night of Navy, Pacific Point, Pool Party and Whisper White.

Inspiration
Not surprisingly, all of the projects I’ve made with the Snowflake Splendor have been Winter-themed. Here are some of my projects with the pages from this pack of papers (you can click on each photo to read the original post about each project):
This card doesn’t use any of the Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper, but it was inspired by the colors and watercolor look of the papers:
It’s easy to incorporate these pages into your projects because there are so many gorgeous prints and color combinations in this pack of papers. They can be really fun to work with – especially when you add other colors to the colors found in the paper. Today I’m going to share a couple more suggestions for pulling these colors right from the patterns in the Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper.
Straight from the Papers
These colors are combined from the colors exclusively in this pack of the Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper (this is a bit of a challenge since there are so many great colors in these pages):
Combined with Other Colors
By adding one other color to the shades in these papers, you can really transform the feel of the pages – or create all new combinations with inspiration from the paper. Here are some color combinations starters that feature two colors from this pack of papers and one color from outside the pack:
By limiting the colors you’ll use in a project (or expanding the colors to those outside a pack of papers), you can really find some beautiful color combinations for our projects.
I hope you find this helpful, I and I hope some of these combinations inspire you. Please save any (or all of these) to Pinterest for future reference. To follow me on Pinterest, please click here: follow me on Pinterest.

Good morning, Brian … thank you as always for sharing the color palettes ? they are so helpful … I take screenshots of them with my phone, so I can scroll back later when I am looking for inspiration ? New Year’s resolution is to put them in their own group … another cardmaker’s delight – organizing ?
Have a lovely day before Christmas Eve ♥️?♥️
Thank you so much, Suzie! I’m so happy you like the color inspiration – some are classic and others are “a bit out there,” but I love playing with all of them. Hope your Christmas Eve Eve is wonderful, too! ♥
Brian, I’ve always loved your color palettes, most times the combinations are something I would have never come up with, you have such an eye for colors and you know exactly how to match them up.

I’m going to say “ditto” to all the comments above. You really DO have an eye for color combos. And I know I’ve seen all these cards when you posted them, but they look amazing all together in this one post. I also never remember to stamp ON the dsp, like you did with the trees. What an excellent way to utilize already gorgeous papers. Merry Christmas and may 2021 be your best year yet! XO
