Happy Sunday! Today I’d like to share one of my Stampin’ Tips for creating with designer paper who’s patterns are a bit, well … BOLD!! Some designs we look at and know exactly what we would like to do with them, others leave us with a question mark … lol.
Yesterday I highlighted the pattern with a simple die cut, today it’s all in the pattern of the card. When you have bold patterns you are not sure how to use them … go small! Today I turned a bold pattern into a simple little block that will create our focal point.
I was not sure how I wanted to use those big X’s, and the other pattern… well, it kind of hurt my eyes!! lol But cut into smaller blocks (1-1/2″ x 1-1/2″) we tame them down and create a cute design of blocks. I love the little swans so I added them into my Black & White themed card … it is what gave my my pop of color.
I matted my designer paper blocks with Calypso Coral measuring 1-5/8″ x 1-5/8″. Then I used my Stampin’ Blends to color the White Bakers Twine to Calypso Coral! The blocks were placed onto a 3-1/2″ x 3-1/2″ piece of Basic White…. this fun pattern of blocks create the focal point of our card.
I popped up the entire assembly with the foam adhesive sheets. I stamped my greeting from the Layering Leaves stamp set with Memento Ink and finished it off with the Classic Matte Dots in Black. The front was then layered onto a Basic Black card base.
I love all the texture and dimension of this card, and those crazy patterns make this card fun! If there is ever a pattern in your pack of designer paper that you are not sure what to do with it … tame it! Cut it down into blocks, or maybe use a collection of circles. Just have fun with it, and use it up.
Thank you for taking time out of your Sunday to visit me!
I have been sharing cards created with the Delightfully Eclectic Designer paper so today I picked a pattern I wanted to have a little fun with. I grabbed my Stylish Shapes dies and using the smallest of the square dies, I cut out the floral pieces from the design … you can see how they could be cut both ways.
Once I got them die cut, I tied a pretty bow using the natural Bakers Twine. I then attached the die cuts to the adhesive foam and popped them up. I layered them onto a piece of Garden Green and then used the Bubble Bath cardstock for my card base.
Simple and sweet … A card to say hello. The greeting comes from the Sending Smiles stamp set and die cut with the Sending Dies. I layered that with Garden Green before attaching it to the card front using Mini Dimensionals.
I thought this would be a fun little twist to this designer paper and to add some texture and dimension to my card. Hope you enjoyed.

Today I’m sharing another Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series paper card, a Fun Fold, and yes … the Faux Step card again. I am hooked on this quick & easy fun fold. Ohhhh, wait to you see the pattern I picked for this card …
Those pretty pink posies and the stripes look great together and create a fun background. There are so many great patterns in this big bundle of designer paper, picking it up this month while it’s on sale is a smart move and a savings of almost $5.00
You can never have too much patterned paper. And with the Delightfully Eclectic 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper, you’ll always have plenty on hand. This extra-generous stack of paper has designs you can use for holidays, birthdays, seasons, and everyday use. Stripes, flowers, dots, grids, geometric designs—there’s a design for every project you want to make!
Side view ….
Card Base: 9″ x 4-1/4″ which is scored at 1-1/4″ … 2-1/2″ … and 5-3/4″.
Center step: 8-1/2″ x 2-1/4″ then score at 3″.
You need 3 pieces of designer paper; 4″ x 3″ … 4″ x 1″ (those will go on the base of the card). The 4″ x 1″ goes on the smallest panel to the front, then skip a panel, and then the 4″ x 3″ piece will go on the 3rd panel. The third measures 2″ x 5-1/4″ which goes on the step portion of your card.

I took the weekend off but I’m back to say HELLO in a fun & whimsical way. I am using the Delightfully Eclectic 12 x 12 Designer Series paper. This paper is so much fun with a total of 48 sheets … you’ll get 4 sheets each of 12 double-sided designs. That is 24 “delightfully eclectic” patterns. I’ve used several already and I’m sharing one of them with you today.
My pattern choice today was the fun floral in Fresh Freesia and Basic Black. I matted my paper with the black and chose the Fresh Freesia cardstock as my base. Once layered I added the Black & White 1/4″ Gingham Ribbon which I tied in a cute little bow.
With such a fun and whimsical pattern, I chose the Alphabest stamp set and coordinating Best Label punch. I first stamped the outer design in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and then stamped my greeting in the Fresh Freesia ink.
With the Alphabest being photopolymer stamps, it’s a breeze to align the letters inside your stamped outer designs.
I popped up my greeting using the Mini Dimensionals and attached them in a playful way … I find this a “no stress” way to add my individually punched pieces because I don’t have to make sure it’s perfectly straight.
To finish off the card, I added my favorite “Iridescent Ice” Rhinestones … they go on everything!! I love the way the pick up the colors that are one your card. Perfect for a super simple, fun and whimsical card.
Thank you for joining me today. I hope you have a great week ahead.
