Finding Inspiration Friday with Stampin' Up! Designer Series Papers

 Hi Everyone,

Thanks for stopping in today on this inspiration Friday post. If you follow me, you know I love Stampin' Up! designer series papers. I love to let the DSP shine and make stunning projects with minimal effort. I "cased" a couple of cards and decided to show how you can alter up an inspiration easily by switching out with DSP.

For my first pair of cards, I took a card I already created (the blue and white) and thought about using DSP in the layers instead.

For the new version of my card, I used the wonderful Berry Delightful Sale-A-Bration DSP (part of the Berry Blessings Bundle). This paper is awesome! It takes me back to my childhood when my dad and I would go strawberry picking in Michigan.

The Sweet Strawberry Bundle coordinates perfectly with the Berry Delightful DSP. The Strawberry Builder punch is great because it includes the little flower and leaf as well. I used the Stitched so Sweetly dies for the stitched rectangle. I used Soft Seafoam, but you can use many different colors. Use the colors from the DSP and you have perfect coordination. 

Here is another wonderful variation of my card. Vicki Tillett sent this to me after my Wednesday FB Live, and it's so cute! I really like how Vicki used the Berry Delightful DSP even for the stitched layers. She also used many of the stitched rectangles included in the Stitched so Sweetly dies. Thanks for sharing Vicki.

Okay, I absolutely love this next "casing". Deb Babcock created the wonderful Hot Dog birthday card. I love how she textured each piece of cardstock.

I used the True Love Designer Series paper. For this card, I wanted to keep it black and white and then have a pop of color. I used the 2 1/4" circle punch to have flowers from the DSP. I then used Granny Apple Green and Poppy Parade Stampin' Blends for the flowers. 

I am always impressed how Stampin' Up! coordinates many products to allow you to create just stunning cards and other projects. I love the matte black elements.

A tip I want to share is that if you haven't, you should get a package of Thick Basic White Cardstock. This will help you when you design with the different designer series papers. Every package of DSP has several colors that were used when creating the paper. If you have several packs of DSP or have the paper share I offered, you may not have many other colors of cardstock, so having Thick Basic White cardstock, you are able to use any of the designer papers you have. 

Thanks so much for stopping in for my Friday Inspiration post. I really get excited for all the wonderful DSP. If you love the Berry Delightful DSP, you can earn it free during Sale-A-Bration.
