The Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper is a beautiful collection of papers that will brighten your projects. Like many Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Papers, the double sided designs enable you to coordinate and create cards quickly. The 12″ x 12″ sheets are ideal for creating stunning backgrounds. The two card examples below use the Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper as the backdrop for no-stamping cards. By selecting phrases from the Wanted To Say Dies and die cutting cardstock to coordinate with the designer series paper, the cards are completed in just a manner of minutes. And best of all, the Fresh As A Daisy is also in this month’s Designer Series Paper Sale!
Be sure to take advantage of the Designer Series Paper Sale during the month of June! It’s a fantastic way to stock up on your favorite designer series papers and expand your creative possibilities without breaking the bank.

This week I am featuring a cheerful fun fold card using the Playing In The Rain bundle. The recent class focused on Playing In The Rain Bundle and this is one of the cards participants were able to create. Isn’t that bunny cute! Though the stamp set includes the bunny, this bunny is from the Rain or Shine Designer Series Paper. A coordinating die from the Playing In The Rain dies makes it easy to cut the bunny shape. More of the designer series paper is used for the background prints on the card. Who doesn’t like a cheerful card?!
Cut Dimensions for the Playing In The Rain Fun Fold Card:
Mango Melody Cardstock (Base: 4-1/4″ x 11″, score at 2-3/4″ and 5-1/2″; 3″ x 4-1/4″; scrap for kite die cut)
Rain or Shine Specialty Designer Series Paper (floral print – 2 pieces cut 2-1/2″ x 4″; checked print 4″ x 5-1/4″ for interior; 2-1/2″ x 6″ for envelope; bunny for die cut)
Basic White Cardstock (2 pieces 2-3/4″ x 4″)
Basic Black Cardstock (scrap 1-1/2″ x 4″ for kite)

Be sure to watch the assembly video to learn how to make this fun card.

This weekend we’re attending the wedding of our niece so naturally a special card is necessary. The wedding in New Orleans has a garden theme and I couldn’t think of a better way to highlight it than to use the products from the Fancy Flora Suite Collection. The Two-Tone Flora Dies and the Fancy Flora Designer Series Paper combine to create a beautiful card. Since I wanted to make a large card, the Basic White Memories & More card pack contains the perfect 4″ x 6″ size. The large Two-Tone Flora Die used to cut the overlay is perfect as it does not cut the outer edges so it allows the creation of a border to fill the entire card front. A simple message embellished with a small bow does not detract from the card front. The Something Fancy Stamp Set has the perfect size “congratulations.” On the interior a larger stamped sentiment still allows lots of space for a personal, handwritten message to the couple. And naturally, the envelope needed some embellishment! Best of all, the elegant card did not take long to create.
Here’s a tip for using the large, intricate die – cut with the die cutting edges face up. Place the die onto the cutting plate of your die machine face up, then add the card stock on top of the die, finish with top cutting plate. Depending upon your particular die cutting machine, you may also need to add a shim – usually a piece of cardstock is sufficient.

Earlier this week, the Playtime with Paper team had our quarterly Stampin’ Up! meeting. The meetings are lots of fun and include learning new techniques or projects. Box making using the Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper was one of the technique projects from this week’s meeting. The Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper is a Sale-a-Bration brochure product and can be selected for FREE with a $50 Stampin’ Up! purchase. The designer series paper is gorgeous and coordinates with the Fragrant Flowers Bundle in the Jan-Apr Mini Catalog. Even better, some of the Fragrant Flowers Dies coordinate with the paper so no fussy cutting!
