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.

New Stampin’ Up!® stamp set Elements of Text meets old lavender favourites

 

Sometimes we can get so hung up on using the latest Stampin’ Up!® products that we forget about all the gorgeous ones lurking away in our stash.

So for this week’s blog, I want to share some butterfly-themed projects we made at a class on Friday.

Easy scrapbooking with Storybook Moments Designer Series Paper

 

There are so many ways to scrapbook with Stampin’ Up!® products these days, and I’m loving them all.

One of the most economical ways is to use a pack of paper such as this Storybook Moments Speciality Designer Series Paper (164662). It features cute animal images and lovely vintage patterns. Within the pack are two full sheets of die-cut images which you can press out and use on your cards, scrapbook pages and more.

Simple card making with Toadstool Gardens Designer Series Paper

 

I just HAD to have this Toadstool Gardens Designer Series Paper because my daughter loves fungi and everything related to them. I knew I had to make her birthday card with this gorgeous Stampin’ Up!® paper.

Card and scrapbook ideas using Storybook Garden Patch from Stampin’ Up!®

 

As soon as I saw the Storybook Garden Patch stamp set in the new Stampin’ Up!® Mini Catalogue, I knew my gardening customers would love it.

Storybook Garden Patch has a great selection of vegetable images, flower pots, a trug and some gardening tools. Worried about fussy-cutting? Worry no more as there are coordinating dies to take the strain.

Quick Christmas cards and last-minute treats with Humble Home from Stampin’ Up!®

 

There are two types of crafters in the Stampin’ Up!® world, I find. Those who have sorted all their Christmas projects and are now thinking ahead to 2025. And those like me.

I was convinced I had enough Christmas cards left from previous years and from this year’s events, but it turned out the box contained some 3D projects which were making it look fuller than it was.

What I DID have was quite a big pile of stamped and punched Humble Home houses which I’d made for some 3D treat boxes. However, while making them, I got distracted and stamped FAR more than I needed.

So I quickly set aside what I needed to make the required treat boxes – more on those later – and used the remaining house fronts on Stampin’ Up!® Note Cards and Envelopes to make REALLY simple cards.
