Happy Saturday! Time to share our favorite Designer Series Paper (aka, DSP) with Create with Connie and Mary and a blog hop!

Theme, as I said, favorite DSP.

Can you guess mine???

Yep. it’s the Pick a Pattern. I just LOVE this paper. It has soo many possibilities!

libbystamps, stampin up, Pieces & Patterns, Stitched Shapes Framelits, CCMC, mooseI went with something rather simple in this design. The moose is cut from one of the patterns and the sentiment is stamped then trimmed, or fussy cut – my favorite!

And, you should see the card set I created for Create with Connie and Mary. It uses the same paper and the coordinating stamp set, Pieces & Patterns. It’s A D O R A B L E I tell you!

So I am just as curious as you are about the other Design Teams favorite Designer Series Papers! Check out them out here – 

Supplies –

Happy Thursday! Got one last catalog challenge for Create with Connie and Mary today –

This is a fun one because there are a four ideas to choose from. I chose the lower right card.

I haven’t taken the time to play with this adorable stamp set and coordinating paper yet. And, it was some of my first items to purchase when the new catalog was available to us! I was afraid to use new stuff I guess!

libbystamps, stampin up, Pieces & Patterns, Pick a Pattern DSP, CCMC

This is a 4×4 card layered with the Designer Series Paper, Pick a Pattern. The sentiment is stamped from the coordination stamp set, Pieces & Patterns. The two sweet dinosaurs and plants are fussy cut from the pattern paper in the pack. It has some really cute images suitable for just this purpose!

It’s just an adorable set. Now that I’ve pulled it out, I will play around with it more!

The Design Team created some really terrific card for this challenge. Check them out on our blog. To participate in our challenge, head to our Facebook  page. You can submit a card there.

Supplies –

  • Stamp Set – Pieces & Patterns
  • Card Stock – Sahara Sand, Whisper White
  • Ink – Emerald Envy
  • DSP – Pick a Pattern
