Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper Blog Hop

Hey Everyone! Check it out!! A brand new Blog Hop Group!! Woohoo!!

Welcome to Design it with Designer Series Paper Blog Hop. We are an international design team of Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators who have come together to share projects focusing on the beautiful Designer Series Paper in the Stampin’ Up! Catalogue. Each month we are featuring a different paper. This month it is Garden Impressions. Make sure to check out all the blogs in the hop for a different idea using this months featured DSP!

The Garden Impressions DSP is 6″ x 6″ in size, but certainly packs a punch. It’s a very busy paper, so I’ve decided to keep my cards simple, and use large pieces of paper.

There are loads of colours in this paper pack. Calypso Coral, Mango Melody, Melon Mambo, Night of Navy, Pacific Point, Petal Pink, Powder Pink, Shaded Spruce, Soft Sea Foam, So Saffron and Whisper White.

I’ve picked a colour from each pattern design and cut a medallion from the Eastern Medallions Thinlits Dies.

I picked this pretty saying from the matching Eastern Beauty Stamp Set, and stamped it in the same colour as the medallion.

Both the saying and the medallion have been raised with Dimensionals. It’s a bit hard to see in the photos, but I’ve also added some Rhinestones around the medallions.

With 48 Sheets (4 each of 12 designs) there’s oddles of paper to go mad with, so I whipped up a whole heap of cards, each with a different pattern paper. I really wanted to the paper to be the showcase, and I think I managed that.

Here’s a look at the whole pack.
