Today, let’s unravel the magic of using our best loved patterned papers to avoid the guilt of hoarding!

Are You a Paper Hoarder?

I admit it. And I bet you do too?

You’re guilty of treating your patterned papers like rare collectibles. Just waiting for that ultimate project to justify pulling it out of its pristine package and actually – eek! – cutting it!

But let’s face it.

Every single day is special.

And so is every project!

No more hoarding. It’s time to liberate those papers and let them sparkle on your cards.

This bundle is part of our Online Exclusives. Product that’s only advertised online. Often you won’t see them in a catalogue. But this great bundle? It’s one that you’ll see both online right now…and in the January to April Mini Catalogue!

Why Should You be Excited About Bundles?

These are your best bet when you’re shopping for new paper crafting tools!

  1. Perfect Coordination: Bundles offer the convenience of perfectly coordinated stamp sets and dies. No more hunting for matching elements. Everything you need for a cohesive and polished project is bundled together. So you save time and are always guaranteed a well matched design.
  2. Cost-Effective Crafting: In their first period of release, bundles are a discounted price compared to purchasing stamp sets and coordinating dies separately. This makes them a budget-friendly choice, allowing you to indulge in a variety of designs without breaking the bank.
  3. Efficiency and Ease: Bundles streamline your creative process by providing tools that work seamlessly together. This efficiency allows you to focus more on the joy of crafting and less on the digging through your stash to find matching elements. Imagine it like having a crafting companion who anticipates your every creative need!

Jo’s Tips on How to Show Off Your Designer Series Paper

  • Perfect Pairing: Opt for patterns and colours in the DSP that complement the theme or style of the stamps and dies or punch. What freedom this gives us! Pair your stamp in the same colours as your DSP like I did here. Granny Apple Green, Blueberry Bushel and a touch of Melon Mambo tie the whole card together.
  • Selective Embellishment: Use the DSP as the star of the show and let the stamps and dies or punches play a supporting role. Choose elements from them to embellish and enhance specific areas of the DSP. Just like you see here. I didn’t cover up the main part of the DSP scene with the sentiment embellishment. It works together rather than in competition.
  • Mix and Match: Don’t be afraid to mix and match DSP patterns within a bundle. Experiment with different combinations to add variety and interest to your projects. Whether it’s combining patterns from the same paper pack or coordinating patterns from different packs, mixing and matching can create unique and eye-catching results.
  • Don’t End at the Beginning: Don’t forget about the inside of your card too. Not only will the reverse side of the DSP show in this design, you have a perfect opportunity to dress up the inside with the piece that’s cut off!
