Designer Series Paper Share

Just a quick post here to share this image of the January-June 2021 Mini Catalogue Designer Series Papers that are included in the Paper Share. (Oh, plus the three Sale-a-Bration papers, too!).

Each share includes 1/4 package of each of the pictured papers. Other than those noted, the sizes of the sheets in the share will be 6″ x 12″. The one set of Specialty Papers will be a 12″ x 12″ sheet, and the 6″ x 6″ papers will be 6″ x 6″….(hopefully that one was obvious).

Designer Series Paper Share
January – June 2021 Mini Catalogue Designer Series Papers included in Share

Please contact me to get a spot in the share/get payment options. Cost of $55 CAD, porch pickup in Burlington; exact shipping costs as needed. The Paper Share is a great way to get a bit of most of the DSPs available in the new Mini Catalogue. You’ll have paper in sizes that will allow you to use them for scrapbooking or cardmaking (or other paper crafting), but you’ll also discover if you want to order an entire package of a certain design. Please note that the paper share will not qualify for Sale-a-Bration rewards or towards Stampers Club requirements.

In the meantime, happy Sale-a-Bration!

Happy Long Weekend!

Wow – it is really feeling like summer around here now – school is out, the temperature is up…and it’s Canada Day – happy long weekend to you! (and yay – it’s actually a real long weekend since July 1 is a Monday this year). Though I have heard my son mumbling some complaints that he is being cheated out of a day off since Mondays are his usual day off from his summer job…

Anyway – thought I’d share this easy and fun card featuring MUSKOKA chairs…because this is Canada, eh? They are not Adirondack chairs, though apparently there is some structural way you can tell the difference, but I can’t quite get the energy up to google that right now. So Muskoka chairs they are.

Happy Long Weekend card

Ahhhh so relaxing. The chairs are from the Seasonal Layers Dies that coordinate with the Colo(u)rful Seasons stamp set. To make things even easier, the chairs are adhered onto a layer of the Follow Your Art Designer Series Paper. The centre chair is cut from the backing layer of Seaside Spray cardstock – one of the new 2019-2021 In Colours. The other two chairs are cut from Early Espresso cardstock. They are just inviting you to relax and say “Happy Long Weekend” while enjoying your favourite cold beverage.

I love that most of Stampin’ Up!’s Designer Series Papers are two sided – often one side has more of a graphic design element that often ties in to a suite of products, and the other is more of a background type pattern or wash. This is the case with the sheet used for this card – so it makes it easy to use the paper outside of the coordinating suite of products.

If you’re interested in getting your hands on a variety of the Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Papers, consider joining my paper share!

Finally! The YamStamps 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue Designer Series Paper Share

For $55CAD you’ll receive sixty 6″ x 12″ sheets of Designer Series Paper (one of each of the double sided designs from each paper package) plus as a bonus right now, you’ll also receive three 6″ x 12″ sheets from the Nobel Peacock Specialty Designer Series Paper (one each of the three different single sided designs).

Each share consists of one 6″ x 12″ sheet of each of the double sided designs from these Designer Series Papers:

The 12″ x 12″ papers NOT included in this share are the Pressed Petals Designer Series Paper (there’s one sheet in particular that does not lend itself to being cut in half…) and the Noble Peacock Foil Sheets. The 6″ x 6″ papers are NOT included in this share either.

Payment is due at the time of your confirmation of participation. First share will be ready for pick up mid July in Burlington ON. If you’re not local to Burlington, but are located within Canada, I can mail your papers to you (exact shipping costs will apply – regular mail or Xpresspost – your choice). CONTACT ME to reserve your spot in the Designer Series Paper Share! You have until July 31st to let me know if you’d like to get in on this offer! In the meantime – Happy Long Weekend!

Easy Patterned Paper Card

Stampin’ Up!’s Designer Series Papers are great for scrapbooking – but they’re also great for cards! Check out this easy patterned paper card design – by Rose Marie Coleman, today’s Sunday Swap Share.

easy card design with patterned paper

This card uses the Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper (Level 1 Sale-a-Bration reward – free with $60CAD product order) for the main visual elements. I love how rounding only a couple of the corners of the paper give it a different effect. There’s a corner rounder on the Detailed Trio Punch, or you can use Stampin’ Up!’s Envelope Punch Board to round corners – it’s built in to the board!

Stampin' Up! Envelope Punch Board
Corner Rounder Punch portion is at the top of the board, above the “button”

The card sentiment is from the Butterfly Gala Stamp Set, which is available for purchase. The Butterfly Duet punch unfortunately is still unorderable at this time (which also means that the Butterfly Gala Bundle is also unorderable), so we will continue to wait patiently until they let us know it’s available again! You’ll notice that you won’t need it for this card anyway!

The accents on this card are the Gingham Gala Adhesive Back Sequins, which are getting low in inventory, so I’d suggest if you need to get them, you order them soon!!

This easy patterned paper card design is clean and simple, and you could easily change out the Desginer Series Paper and sentiment and have a whole different look! These are the kinds of cards that make my crafting so much easier, especially when I need an impressive card in a hurry!

If you need to build up your stash of patterned paper, I’ve put out a LAST CALL for my Occasions Catalogue Designer Series Paper Share. If you’d like to purchase a share, which includes a 6″ x 12″ of each of the sheets from each 12″ x 12″ package, and full 6″ x 6″ sheets from the two 6″ x 6″ packages in the catalogue (NOT including the Specialty Papers), please contact me by March 10th, or click below to order and pay via PayPal. The shares also include the Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper as well!!

Occasions Catalogue Designer Series Paper Share

If you like to craft with patterned paper but don’t find you always need a full package – or like to “try before you buy”, consider buying into the YamStamps Occasions Catalogue Designer Series Paper Share! For $30 Candian, you’ll receive 6 – 6″ x 12″ sheets of each of the four regular Designer Series Papers in the Occasions Catalogue, 22 sheets total of the two 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper stacks, and as a bonus, you’ll get 6 – 6″ x 12″ sheets of the Botanical Butterfly Sale-a-Bration Designer Series Paper as well!

yamstamps occasions catalogue designer series paper shareThis is what one share looks like. For those who are not local to Burlington ON, we can arrange to have the papers mailed to you for $5 – it will come in an envelope with a bit of extra cardboard to minimize trauma during shipping! You’ll also get a “cheat sheet” of what the papers are called and what Stampin’ Up! colours are featured so you can easily coordinate your paper crafting. Please note that the two Specialty Designer Series Papers are NOT included in the Occasions Catalogue Designer Series Paper share (it’s too hard to divide them up equally). You can see the Facebook Live video I did on the share here.

Each of the sheets is double sided, and because it’s a 6″ x 12″ piece, you can easily use it for scrapbooking or for card making – or whatever paper crafting project is on the books! If you’d like to get in on the Paper Share, please contact me directly, or use the link below. Please note that the paper share cannot be used as part of the Stampers Club minimum order.
