As Stampin' UP! ® demonstrators, we are able to preorder from the upcoming catalogs. The next mini catalog (July - December 2021) starts on August 3rd. I have finally had a bit of time to play with some of my new products. I particularly like some of the new Designer Series Papers. I am always amazed by how much more impressive the paper is in person! I wasn't sure that I liked the colors in the Whimsy and Wonder DSP. I decided to purchase a package anyway. Wow, am I glad that I did!! This paper is by far my favorite! It is absolutely gorgeous! I couldn't quite wrap my head around the combination of pinks, greens, and blues for Christmas. Silly me!!! You truly have to see this paper in person to get the full effect. Each sheet of the paper has a side that has holographic details.The soft colors are simply beautiful together. I can see that I will be purchasing a lot more of this paper.
Here is a simple layout I used that highlights one of the sheets of paper, and gifts that came from another sheet in this package. I am sure that the photos will not do this paper justice, but at least you can see the very simple layouts. Both cards used the same paper samples, they were just arranged differently. I actually found this layout on Connie Stewart's blog. I love how easy, yet versatile this layout is.
The pink rectangular shape was made using the rectangular postage stamp punch. The greeting came from the new Heartfelt Wishes Stamp set. It will likely be my go-to greeting set for the holidays this year.
The card bases were made using Mint Macaron Card Stock. Here are the dimensions for these layouts:
Mint Macaron Card Stock - 5.5 x 8.5 inches
Whimsy and Wonder Designer Series Paper - 3 x 4 inches
Whisper White - 1 x 4 inches
Silver Cord - 16 inches
Blushing Bride Card Stock - 1.5 x 2.5 inches
Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch
Stamp set - Heartfelt Wishes
I am not able to link to the stamp set or the DSP yet, because the catalog is not live yet. This layout could easily be used with any card stock and DSP.
