Case the Catalog: Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper

One of the things my DOstamperSTARS Team have been doing this month is a Designer Series Paper Creative Challenge.  Each month, I put together a series of creative challenges for us and this month we focused on paper.

One of the challenges is a DSP Case, find a project in the annual catalog using Designer Series Paper and copy the layout.  A box on page 40 caught my eye and this was the perfect time to case it.

Instead of a box, I made a card using the beautiful Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper (15% on this month!).

DOstamping Tip partial die cutting from Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #HowdSheDOthat #stampinup #cardmaking

DOstamping Tips:

  • I feel like I came across a really cool trick when I did a partial die cut using the Deckled Rectangles dies.  You could utilize this trick when cutting 1, 2 or 3 sides.  Give it a try!
  • For the sentiment, I trimmed the hexagon shape first, then stamped.
  • Don’t forget to get inspired by Stampin’ Up!’s packaging ideas.  They often translate well into card layouts!
