Use Designer Series Paper

May 19, 2014

Are you like me a Designer Paper hoarder. I buy it because I love it and then I don’t use it. I know, sad really. However, I get to this time of year and realise that my beloved Designer Series Paper will soon be retiring and I need to use it! So at the moment I am on the look out for card sketches that give me the opportunity to use up some of my stash.

I have had this sketch pinned for a while and thought it was perfect.

I cut varying sizes of strips of Gingham Garden Designer Series Paper and attached them to Very Vanilla card. It was a little tricky but I used glue dots to attach the left hand edge of the horizontal pieces, with some double sided tape on the other end. That way I could slide the vertical strips over the horizontal ones and then attach the other end to the card front. Once I had the Designer Series paper attached I stamped the greeting from the Petite Pairs stamp set onto the lower right hand corner using Melon Mambo ink.

Inside the card I attached a piece of Melon Mambo card with one long edge punched using the Scallop Trim Border Punch behind another piece of Gingham Garden Designer Series Paper.

This card is so pretty and is one that my ladies at Beachmere will be making tomorrow.
