Technique Tuesday Blog Hop - November 2021 Designer Series Paper Techniques

The Crafty Collaborations Team is comprised of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world. Each month we participate in several collaborative projects, including 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 features the monthly Technique Tuesday. November's theme is Designer Series Paper Techniques.

I love Stampin' Up's Designer Series Paper. It is so beautiful and artistic and such excelent quality. You can't go wrong with using it in any of your paper crafting projects. So many images in the papers could be  framed, I decided to use the Spotlight Technique. 

This involves identifying an image in your Designer Series Paper and cutting it out, typically using a die cut or punch, and then adding a slim layer to the cut out and placing it back on to your designer series paper. 

See how this spotlights the image? And it is so easy! 

Card Details

• Stamps: Holly Jolly Wishes - sentiment I fussy cut around the sentiment so it took up less space on the card.

    Paper

• Basic White Thick: 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
• Basic Black : 5 1/4" x 4" + scrap for layering circle 
• Peaceful Place Designer Series Paper: 5" x 3 3/4" 
• TIP: Using the Layering Circle Dies, I die cut a piece out of the DSP 
• The Black Layer is then die cut using the next size up
• Attach the pieces together and 'line' the image up over the DSP layer as the spotlight of the card.
