Birthday card using Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper
Designer Series Paper. It’s the one crafting item I have a lot of. In fact, I collect it; I love it. And I want to use it. Can you relate?
This fun design allows me to showcase all the pretty patterned paper in a fun and unique way.
In today’s post, I share this sketch in conjunction with Stampin’ Up!’s Sweetly Scripted Stamp Set and a variety of its current Designer Series Papers. Please note: Most of these paper designs are retiring soon. So grab what you want before it’s gone. In addition, find the Sweetly Scripted Stamp Set online; it’s part of Stampn’ Up!’s Online Exclusives. I really appreciate the breadth of sentiments offered, including the ones I frequently use.
Split Triangle Card Design
Here are a few details about this design:
Card base of choice measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/2. I tried to choose a lighter color background so I could stamp directly onto the card base.
Designer Series Paper measuring 4 x 3. With your paper trimmer, turn your DSP on an angle and trim from the top right corner to the bottom left corner. This gives you two pieces.
Coordinating card stock measuring 4 1/4 x 3 1/4. Again, turn this on an angle and trim from the top right to the bottom left corner.
Adhere both pieces together. Glue works best as it gives you some wiggle room while getting the DSP in place.
Add to card front with one triangle in the upper left corner and the other in the bottom right.
Stamp desired sentiment with coordinating ink in the space between the two triangles.
This birthday card uses Stampin’ Up!’s Rock & Roll Designer Series Paper with the Sweetly Scripted Stamp Set.

Be sure to visit each participating stamper to gain inspiration for your paper crafting. Look for a list of blogs at the end of this post. We like to hear your comments, too!
Gorgeously Made Two-Tone Card
Like I mentioned above, limiting my self to just two colors was challenging. In the end, I chose Pretty Peacock and Gray Granite. I also used the Gorgeously Made stamp set and coordinating Gorgeously Made Dies. Purchase them as a bundle and save 10 percent. Find them on page 103 of Stampin’ Up!’s Annual Catalog.
Here are some details about the card:
Gray Granite card stock base measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored at 4 1/4
Stamp image three times on Gray Granite panel. I inked the stamp with Pretty Peacock and then “stamped off” on my grid paper twice before applying to the panel — creating a subtle background.
Embossed this stamped panel with one of the designs from the Basics 3D Embossing Folders. Find these online here.
Die cut the image shown with the Pretty Peacock sheet from the Soft Shimmer 12 x 12 Paper Combo Pack.
Stamped the thank you sentiment in Pretty Peacock ink on Gray Granite card stock and die cut with label from dies.
Die cut the “notebook edge” die with the Pretty Peacock design from the Glorious Gingham 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper.
Added Linen Thread and gems from the Tinsel Gems Four-Pack.
I also had to try this card with Berry Burst and Crumb Cake. Which is your favorite?

Be sure to visit all of the stampers to get inspired for your summer paper crafting projects. Look for a list of hoppers at the end of this post.
Layering Leaves Thank You Card
For my project, I chose to use the Layering Leaves stamp set. (Find it on page 96 of Stampin’ Up!’s 2023-2024 Annual Catalog.) I just love the font styles delivered in this set. I paired the thank you sentiment (heat embossed with white embossing powder) with an fun and easy way to use Designer Series Paper that showcase flowers.
The card above features just one of the flower-themed pieces from the Inked Botanicals 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper (DSP). You can get four cards from one sheet of 6 x 6 DSP. You just need three pieces measuring 3 inches x 1 inch for each card. (Note: If you use DSP as a layer, you’ll also need another sheet. Or, you could use embossed card stock, similar to the card below.) Layer these pieces on a coordinating piece of card stock measuring 3 1/4 inches x 4 1/2 inches. Wrap a ribbon around this layer before attaching it to a piece of either card stock or DSP measuring 5 1/4 x 4. Then add this all to the card base.
For the card above, I chose a flower design from the Delightfully Eclectic 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper. The coordinating colors I used include Basic Black and Fresh Freesia.
Don’t you love how the DSP changes the whole look of the card? Imagine all of the great possibilities with Stampin’ Up!’s wide array of available patterned paper.
