For July only select Designer Series Paper Products are Buy 3, Get 1 Free! There are 10 different selections included in the sale. Most are 12×12″ packs except for the Tropical Escape and the Wood Textures.
I’ve been playing with the designer paper that I already have from the new catalog and making cards that focus on the paper. The card I want to share today uses the Tranquil Textures Designer Series Paper.
I focused on this green design that reminded me of some old wood or cardboard that was worn. Tranquil Tide and Soft Sea Foam are the main colors. This paper pack is part of the Tranquil Textures Suite but today I’ve paired it up with the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set and a couple of punches

Jul 2, 2018 | Baby, Cards, Designer Series Paper |
It’s the month of July and it’s time for the much loved Designer Series Paper Sale from Stampin’ Up! Don’t feel sad about using your pretty paper stock up now with this offer to buy 3, get 1 free on a selection of papers in the brand new catalog. This week I’ll be showing ideas that feature our beautiful Designer Series paper. Just pair the paper with an all occasion greeting stamp set and you can hit all the different events, occasions and holiday’s throughout the year. I’m using the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set with most of my samples this week.
The Animal Expedition Designer Series Paper is so cute with all the different animals and prints. I wanted to use it to make a quick baby card. I used a 4×4″ square of the paper layered on a piece of Whisper White card stock. Choose a matching ribbon to tie around – I used the Lemon Lime Twist Ombre ribbon. For the tag I used two greetings from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set and cut the words that I wanted to add to a little tag. It’s a super sweet and simple idea.

Jun 27, 2018 | Big Shot, Cards, Designer Series Paper, Masculine |
Happy Wednesday! I’m continuing to share ideas using the Rooted In Nature Bundle. Let’s take a look at today’s card – it’s the first one I made with this bundle. It was actually the card that we made at the Stampin’ Up! OnStage event in April. The event was so much fun and we got our first look at the brand new catalog and a chance to play with some of the products. I’d love for you to join my team and come with me to the big 30 Year OnStage Celebration in April. A new sign up special is coming in July – and it’s a good one!
This card features a couple of the accessories that are part of the whole Nature’s Poem Suite of products. The Leaves Trinkets and the Nature’s Twine. The Leaves Trinkets are metallic leaves in both copper and silver that can be added to your creations – I used mini glue dots to add them to this card. Your going to love these trinkets so be sure to place a qualifying order (minimum order of $30 in products) this week and I’ll mail you a sample – use hostess code ETSM4PDT by June 30, 2018.
One of the colors included in the pack of Nature’s Twine is the Mint Macaron used on this card – additional colors are Crumb Cake, Blackberry Bliss, and Grapefruit Grove. It seems like I’ve used some designs from the Nature’s Poem Designer Series paper on every card so far. On July 1st we will be starting a Designer Paper Sale and this one will be included! Tucked behind the stamped sentiment are stamped and die cut leaves, and the Leaves Trinkets.

Jun 26, 2018 | Big Shot, Cards, Designer Series Paper, Embossing dies, Masculine |
I have another card to share today that uses the Rooted In Nature Bundle. Everyone that attended my Stampin’ Up! Catalog Kickoff event had the chance to make this card.
This card uses two more designs from the Nature’s Poem Designer Series paper. I cut Crumb Cake card stock with the 3-leaves die in the Nature’s Roots Framelits die set. There are also embossing dies in this set. For this card you want to cut the card stock first and then run it through the Big Shot with the Embossing dies. It creates a beautiful texture on the leaves. If you emboss first and then cut it will flatten out some of the embossed lines – at times you may want that look.
Supply List
- Rooted in Nature Bundle (Rooted in Nature Stamp Set and Nature’s Root Framelits Dies)
- Natures’ Poem Designer Series paper
- Crumb Cake card stock
- Very Vanilla card stock
- Blackberry Bliss ink
- Crumb Cake ink
- Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies
- Big Shot Die Cutting Machine

This week I’m planning to share ideas using the Rooted In Nature Bundle, it’s become one of my favorites. It’s part of the Nature’s Poem Suite of products in the new annual catalog. The Bundle includes the Rooted in Nature stamp set and the Nature’s Roots Framelits Dies. I’ve been using this stamp set a lot this month. I think you are going to love this bundle and how it will work for so many occasions including masculine cards which are always a struggle. It also pairs with well with the long time favorite set Lovely as a Tree – I’ve had that set longer than I’ve been a demonstrator!
The Nature’s Poem Designer Series paper has a variety of patterns and prints and used two of them on this card. I used two of the main colors from the paper – Tranquil Tide and Soft Suede. The tree ring behind the words is actually stamped in Crumb Cake and it’s stamped “off” – which means you ink it up and then stamp it first on scratch paper before stamping it on the card stock which creates a lighter version. I wanted it to be light for this card so I could stamp the words on top and they would stand out. Use your Paper Snips to fussy cut the tree ring for this card – it’s easy to cut out by hand.
Supply List
- Rooted in Nature Stamp Set
- Itty Bitty Greetings Stamp Set
- Natures’ Poem Designer Series paper
- Soft Suede card stock
- Tranquil Tide card stock
- Very Vanilla card stock
- Tranquil Tide ink
- Crumb Cake ink
- Soft Suede ink
- Paper Snips
I made this card for my dad for Father’s day. It would work for other occasions too – just leave off the World’s Best Father stamp or change it to something else. Itty Bitty greetings as a variety of phrases that could be used – happy birthday would be an easy substitution. Be sure to come back throughout the week and keep tabs on my Facebook page for more ideas with this bundle throughout the week.
