I love collecting and creating with Stampin’ Up!’s Designer Series Papers. The gorgeous patterns, the thoughtful color combinations, the seamless coordination with other products – it all just works. And the best part? Every collection brings something new to fall in love with!

Spooky Sweet

I don’t like Halloween as much as the other Fall holidays, but I LOVE the Spooky Sweet Specialty Designer Series Paper that has inspired many projects this year. While many pages are a nod to the Spooky Season, this paper pack goes beyond that theme – it includes versatile patterns that work beautifully across a wide variety of projects.

Here’s a look at the patterns and coordinating colors in the Spooky Sweet Specialty Designer Series Paper (click the image below to flip through all of the pages in my online store):

This fun collection of designs features 12 sheets (2 each of 5 double-sided designs and 2 pages of punch-out images). The pack of papers includes Basic Black, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Petunia Pop and Pumpkin Pie.

Inspiration

I have loved creating with the pages in the Spooky Sweet Specialty Designer Series Paper. I’ve used it to make a lot of Halloween cards and some non-Halloween projects, too. Here are some of my projects with the pages from the papers I’ve shared on my blog (you can click on each photo to read the original post about each project:

You can tell I love these papers, right?!

Today I’m going to share some suggestions for pulling together great color combinations with the pages of the Spooky Sweet Specialty Designer Series Paper.

Straight from the Papers

One of my go-to strategies when starting a new card or project is pulling my colors directly from the Designer Series Papers – and Stampin’ Up! makes it so easy!

These colors are combined from the colors exclusively in the Spooky Sweet Specialty Designer Series Paper – such a great variety of colors in this pack of papers:

Stampin' Up! Color Inspiration - Granny Apple Green, Petunia Pop, Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Up! Color Inspiration - Petunia Pop, Pumpkin Pie, Basic BlackStampin' Up! Color Inspiration - Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Pumpkin Pie

 

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 that feature two colors from this pack of papers and one color from outside the pack:

Stampin Up! Color Inspiration - Daffodil Delight, Peach Pie, Pumpkin PieStampin Up! Color Inspiration - Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Summer SplashStampin' Up! Color Inspiration - Petunia Pop, Blackberry Bliss, Basic Black

 

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, and I hope some of these combinations inspire you.  Please save any (or all of these) to Pinterest for future reference.

Thanks for stopping by today!
