DOSWTS 367 - Designer Series Paper Inspiration Blog Hop

Welcome to the DO Stamper Stars Blog Hop. The DO Stamper Stars is comprised of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators who are part of Dawn Olchefske's leader team. Each month we participate in 2 Blog Hops, like this one, to inspire all of us in our passion for crafting. Our Goal is to create, share, and inspire every crafter to keep our creative energy flowing. 


Today's project is featuring Stampin' Up's beautiful Designer Series Paper. With the ongoing sale, I bought a pack of the Sweet Symmetry paper and decided to create with it for this challenge. 


There are so many colors that coordinate with this paper: Bumblebee, Calypso Coral, Flirty Flamingo, Just Jade, Night of Navy. I chose Night of Navy, Flirty Flamingo and Bumblebee. I do not own the In Symmetry coordinating stamp set yet, but I found a flower from the Lovely You Stamp set that went really well with the paper. I'm also trying to show the shimmer of Wink of Stella I added to the flowers in the below close up.  


I found the idea for this card from another Demonstrator, Patty Bennet. It is a Tri-Fold Pocket card that can also be used as a gift card holder. I just loved the look of it and that it used a full 5 1/4" x 12" sheet of designer series paper! She has an instructional vide here Easy Tri-Fold Card with Pocket weekly crafting video


As you can see from this photo, it looks like a 'regular card' but their is just one layer of card stock on the bottom. When you open the top designer layer you've got the pocket card inside! 


The 'note card' is used to write a message and pulls out of the card. The trimmed triangle piece can be used to make another card (sharing this on Sunday!)

To make it a Gift Card holder, just remove the note card and slide in your gift card. I created a label for the sentiment on the front of the pocket instead. 


Did you know I can issue Gift Cards for Stamping Up products? Just pay me for the amount you want ($25 and up) and when your family member or friend want to place an order, they give me a call and I pay for the amount of the gift card, and they pay for any remaining balance. Easy Peasy! Birthdays, Christmas, mother's day, Anniversary, you name it, this works great for the crafter in your life.
