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. Designer Series Papers inform each of the suites in the catalog. If you are like me, you turn right to the papers when a new catalog is released (I start with the Designer Series Papers and then check out the new Bundles). I’m excited to share a look at the gorgeous Designer Series Paper in Stampin’ Up!’s September-December 2023 Mini Catalog today. 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 featured papers in each of the ten suites (along with one color combination I love from the pages).
