I’m a HUGE fan of Designer Series Papers, so I study these papers like there’s going to be a final exam. Yesterday I shared a look at the new Suite Collections launched with Stampin’ Up!’s 2025 Annual Catalog and the coordinating Online Exclusives (both were released yesterday). If you missed that post, you can see those suites here. Today I’m sharing a closer look at the Designer Series Papers that were released yesterday.
The 2025 Annual Catalog includes FIVE packs of papers from the new suites, and ONE additional pack not included in the suites. The new Online Exclusives launch includes TWO packs you’re going to love. My closer look at these papers includes a look at all the patterns and colors in each pack. I’ve also included and a look at my favorite pattern and my favorite color combination from each pack of papers.
FROM THE ANNUAL CATALOG
Florals in Bloom (#165175)
The Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper features hand-drawn and hand-colored designs. Our artist applied watercolors to paper and let them spread, then added details with pencils to create tone-on-tone flowers for unique designs that you’ll love on cards and scrapbook pages.
There are so many flower-filled and color-filled pages in this pack of papers, but I really love the mix of colors and images on the page below. As a bonus – the back side of the page is a gorgeous page of Cloud Cover dashes on a Secret Sea background. Don’t you love it?!
Here’s my favorite color combination from this pack of papers:
Turtle-Y Cute (#165221)
Create playful crafting projects with the Turtle-y Cute Designer Series Paper! Fussy cut the talented turtles and make silly scenes for birthday, friendship, or wedding cards. Or turn the bright patterned paper into cheerful gift tags and paper packaging.
While there are so many cute pages with turtle-y characters, I really love this page of green stripes. Not only do the stripes look great with all of the characters, but they are perfect for a wide variety of projects:
