Three ideas for Everyday Happiness Designer Series Paper

 

I am showcasing another overlooked Stampin’ Up!® product this week: Everyday Happiness Designer Series Paper and Sticker Sheet.

This lovely paper can be found in the latest Stampin’ Up!® Scrapbooking Brochure, which is currently only available to view online. Because the scrapbooking line is relatively new to Stampin’ Up!®, there is no paper copy of the brochure, although this is set to change with the release of the next Stampin’ Up!® Annual Catalogue in May, when the products will be included.

Everyday Happiness Designer Series Paper (166632) is perfect for craft classes too because you get four of each design. This is one of the reasons I chose it for this month’s WI Craft Crew class; plus it goes brilliantly with Storybook Garden Patch (bundle 164667), my chosen stamp and die bundle.

Otterly Amazing: Don’t overlook this fun Stampin’ Up!® bundle

This week sees the welcome return of Otterly Amazing, a Stampin’ Up!® Online Exclusive stamp set and die bundle, which I fear has been overlooked by many.

Who could resist those cute little otters, and the coordinating Otterly Adorable Designer Series Paper (164936)? I showcased them last year ahead of their November launch and, happily, they are still available from my online store.

A little note about Stampin’ Up!® Online Exclusives: you don’t have to shop online to buy them. It just means you won’t find them in a catalogue, so be sure to check out that section when you’re browsing and, if you rae in the UK and would like me to place the order for you, I will happily do so.

Easy card ideas with Fruit Salad Designer Series Paper

I firmly believe that cardmaking does not have to be difficult, and you don’t have to throw every Stampin’ Up!® product from the catalogue at your designs.

These four simple cards are made with Fruit Salad Designer Series Paper, cardstock, greeting stamps and ribbon scraps. Stampin’ Up!® Designer Series Paper is a great way to get lots of variety in your images with minimal outlay. 

 You can cut the images out instead of stamping them, and get lots of mileage from one pack. In fact, this is how I managed to keep my classes going during lockdown, without asking customers to break the bank. 

Fruit Salad Designer Series Paper (164943) is perfect for this and what’s more, it’s free with a £55 order in the UK, which means you can select it if you order the two stamp sets used here – With You in Mind (164747) and Simply Said (163756) – along with any pack of assorted or single-colour A4 cardstock and some Basic White Thick A4 cardstock (159230) for your card bases.

Terrific Toadstools card idea in muted Stampin’ Up!® In Colors™

 

The standout bundle for me in the latest Stampin’ Up!® Mini Catalogue is Terrific Toadstools.

My daughter has a great fascination for fungi so I’m always on the lookout for them while out walking in the woods. They come in so many wonderful colours but I think the muted tones of the 2023-2025 In Colors™ lend themselves perfectly to the Terrific Toadstools theme.

This fits in perfectly as I am trying to use the Stampin’ Up!® In Colors™ which will be retiring this year. As a reminder, they are Moody Mauve, Copper Clay, Boho Blue, Wild Wheat and Pebbled Path. These have been my favourite In Colors™ for a long time and I will be really sad to see them go.
