Card ideas with Take to the Sky Designer Series Paper

Stampin Up Take to the Sky card ideas

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again... you don’t always need to buy the stamp set. This may feel like shocking advice from a Stampin’ Up!® demonstrator but I know times are tough for many people right now and I would rather help you find ways to keep crafting than see you give it up for financial reasons.

Here are three cards I made using Take to the Sky Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up!® I don’t have the coordinating Adventurous Sky stamp set because, frankly, I didn’t think I’d get much use from it. But I love the paper featuring masculine patterns, planes, maps and clouds, and think it could be extremely versatile.

Five cards using new Stampin' Up!® set Poised Peony

Stampin Up UK demonstrator Poised Peony Frames & Flowers card ideas

Today I have FIVE projects to show you, all using the new Stampin’ Up!® stamp set, Poised Peony.

Being floral, this is not my usual type of stamp set but I absolutely love the coordinating Frames & Flowers Speciality Designer Series Paper and this goes with it, so I have decided to base my Summer Craft Day on these products.

Fun card ideas using Tune In Stampin’ Up!® stamp set

Stampin Up Tune In retro TV card ideas

If you know me, you’ll know I love everything retro. Retro music, retro colours, retro homewares, retro Stampin’ Up!® designs. So the new Stampin’ Up!® set Tune In went straight to the top of my shopping list.

Painted Lavender meets Under the Moon in a Stampin’ Up!® mash-up

 

Stampin Up Under the Moon Painted Lavender
 

When I get a new Stampin’ Up!® catalogue, I like to look for ways I can combine the old with the new. The new Under the Moon stamp set opens up a world of possibilities and one of the ways I wanted to use it is with a floral stamp set.
