Stamping Sunday Blog Hop Mini Catalog Designer Paper

Hello and welcome 

Today at the Stamping Sunday Design Team we will be sharing our projects using Designer Paper from the Stampin' Up! August to December 2020 Mini Catalogue. We could either create a beginner, casual or avid card. Or create a card and 3D project, which I decided on.

I was drawn to the stunning Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper which is on page 37 of the Mini Catalogue. I just love the selection of wintery blues & mauves and the hand-painted snowflakes. Stampin' Up! have a fantastic Designer Series Paper sale on for the month of October 2020 which includes this DSP for more details about the sale I'll have a link at the end of my blog to my on-line store. 

Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper

You can do so much when it comes to Designer Series Paper and I'll show you a couple of different examples.

Easel Card

I've used the DSP and Whisper White Cardstock to create an easel card which is very easy to do. I started with a sheet of 12" x 12" Whisper White Cardstock, cut at 6" x 12" and scored at 3" & 6". Then cut another piece at 6" x 6" for the card front. The two smaller pieces of DSP are cut at 2.76" x 5.71 and two larger pieces at 5.71" x 5.71" this gives a nice white boarded around the DSP.

For the front panel the DSP is embossed using the Evergreen Forest 3D Embossing Folder which adds another layer to the card. The tiny snow flakes are stamped on the DSP in Balmy Blue Ink, using the Snowflake Wishes Stamp Set. To set the wintery scene I've used different dies in Whisper White Cardstock, sponged ink with the Sponge Dauber and added Wink of Stella for added sparkle. 

I've stamped the snowflake images and sentiment onto the two smaller panels for the inside of the easel card. The larger piece I've added a strip of Snowflake Splendor Ribbon so the card can sit up. The Dies from the Peace and Joy Bundle using the DSP and Whisper White Cardstock. 

3D Project

The wintery snowflake Mini Pizza Box is my other project for today's blog. I've ink up the box using the Stamping Sponge and Balmy Blue Ink. Then I spritzed the box by filling up a Stampin' Spritzer using a drop of Frost White Shimmer Paint and rubbing alcohol. This gives the box a nice sparkle.

I've made a belly band for the box by using a wide strip of Snowflake Splendor DSP, then wrapping the Snowflake Splendor Ribbon around the box three times. Using the Dies from the Wishes and Wonder Bundle, I've die cut out the stitched gift tag and stitched starburst circle using the DSP. 

I also used the deer and the leaves from the North Pole Dies, it's such a great bundle for your Christmas projects. The Balmy Blue Glimmer Paper is perfect for the So Many Snowflakes Dies adding more sparkle to the Christmas Mini Pizza Box.

A few more added touches such as using the Silver Foil for the Joy die image, clear droplets from the Flowers for every season Gems and Wink of Stella. The Mini Pizza Box makes a nice gift for someone special at Christmas time.
