Stampin' Up! Square Snippets

Today's card is a mix-n-match from three different paper packs!

I love how they all still coordinate to make a cute card, to let the recipient know that you are thinking about them.

The new embossing folder Lovely Stripes is a nice landing spot for the colorful designer paper.

I used the Square Snippets DSP, and cut various sizes ranging from 1/2"-1" to make a row of color. This is a great card design to use up your scrap paper on.

The cute bug ephemera was fussy cut out of the Cute as a Bug DSP, and the white sprig is ephemera from Hobby Haven.

I added the sentiment, and a bow to complete this sweet card.

Try making this card with your scrap paper, and let me know how you like it!

Showcasing Square Snippets Designer Paper- One Card, So Many Possibilities

One of my favorite things about Stampin' Up! Designer Paper is how effortlessly the patterns coordinate, and today's card is the perfect example of that.

I used the Square Snippets Designer Paper to create a vibrant, eye-catching background that brings several designs together in one cohesive look.

This card features four different patterns- Playful orange stripes, soft green leaves, delicate blue florals, and a stunning pattern filled with yellow and orange roses. Even with all these designs on one card, the colors blend beautifully and create a baleanced, cheerful backdrop.

The sentiment, "You make me smile"felt like the perfect finishing touch for such a happy card. I stamped the floral image, and colored them with pencils, then blended the colors with my Wink of Stella. It blends the colors, and adds a wonderful shine to your project.

If you love Designer paper that does the hard work for you, Square Snippets is definitely one to add to your craft room!

Happy Motivation Monday! Today's projects are all about spreading a little Valentine cheer with easy, fun, and creative ideas.

I shared two sweet creations using Stampin; Up! Valentine Kisses and Made With Love Designer Paper.

First up is a fun fold Valentine card featuring adorable bears and a playful design that makes opening the card, just as much fun as giving it.
