I love Designer Series Papers! Whether they are used as a small element on a card or as the main attraction, the printed patterns and colors in these papers can make a big statement. If you are like me, you turn right to the papers when a new catalog is released (my order of review is [1] In Colors [2] Designer Series Papers [3] Bundles). I’m excited to share a look at the gorgeous Designer Series Paper in Stampin’ Up!’s 2021 Annual Catalog. What an amazing collection!
What do I love most about the papers? The patterns give a creative platform for any project, but it’s the fun combinations of colors I love the most. I’m always inspired by the colors that are featured in these papers. Today I’m sharing a look at the colors and patterns in each of these papers along with one color combination I love from the pages.

Yes, I agree these papers are gorgeous! It is so difficult to choose a favorite, but right now I think my favorite is Expressions in Ink. Thanks for showcasing them today. Enjoy your day!
I always look for your color inspirations when you discuss our DSP collections~you spark our creativity with those pairings. Thanks for taking the time to share.
Wow, I really like the Just Jade and Polished Pink together now that see them together. Thanks for the inspiration!
LOVE the color combinations……And not a SINGLE DSP that I don’t LOVE.
Thank you for this post. I may have told you before that I print out these DSP images and attach them to each plastic zip bag that I keep my dsp in. Such an easy reference instead of trying to read the very fine print on the back of the packaging!
I think this new release of DSP is the most versatile and beautiful ever. They cover the color spectrum and occasions beautifully. Love them.
Is there a gold Stampin ink pad?
Brian, you are a master at color design. Seriously. I love your DSP posts, especially how you describe each one so well. Stampin’ Up! does a super job at giving us gorgeous papers; YOU do a super job at giving us the inspiration to use it. I admit, I sometimes hoard, because it’s too pretty to cut. But, I’m trying to be better. Thanks for sharing your paper knowledge.
Brian, thanks so much for all the color combinations, they are a wonderful help! Appreciate all you do for us.
How did I miss the peach paper when I placed my order yesterday?? It is so spectacular! I also love the Simply Elegant papers; plenty of masculine designs there to pick from!
