Everyday Essentials Designer Series Paper
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed playing with the pages from the Everyday Essentials Mix & Match Designer Series Paper, introduced in the May-August 2026 Catalog. The designs in the pages are fun, and the colors are really fresh, making them versatile to be used in so many types of projects.
Here’s a look at the patterns and coordinating colors in the Everyday Essentials Mix & Match Designer Series Paper (click the image below to flip through all of the pages in my online store):
This mix of gorgeous and fun designs features 12 sheets (2 each of 6 double-sided designs). The pack of papers includes Bubble Bath, Crumb Cake, Darling Duckling, Lost Lagoon and Misty Moonlight.

Today I’m going to share some suggestions for pulling together great color combinations with the pages of the Everyday Essentials Mix & Match 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 Everyday Essentials Mix & Match Designer Series Paper – such a great variety of colors in this pack of papers:
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:
Whether you limit yourself to the colors in the paper or bring in additional shades, you can discover some beautiful color combinations for your 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!
