3 Ways to Customize Silver & Gold Foil Designer Paper + Video

I love the simple elegance of the Silver & Gold Designer Paper -- a FREE Gift available during Sale-a-Bration. You can use it as is, but you can also customize the paper! Last month, I shared these cards during my 12 Days of Christmas video series. I stamped on the designer paper. The ink resists the foil pattern, creating a dynamic background! I used two color/image combos and did both in two different layouts. Which one do you prefer? Leave a comment and let me know!

The first combo was Pale Papaya and Calypso Coral with the two-step seashells.

Then I used Balmy Blue and Orchid Oassis for the snowflake pattern.

Card Measurements:

• 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" Card Base
• 3" x 4-1/4" Coordinating Color
• 2-1/2" x 4-1/4" Designer Paper
• 1" x 4" Coordinating Color (greeting)
• 1" x 3-1/2" Foil Cardstock

Watch the replay of my 12 Days of Christmas Series to see me create these cards:

I'm not the only one stamping on the Silver & Gold Designer Paper! I was so tickled to see this project from Stampin' Up! Concept Artists the day after my 12 Days of Christmas video. Great minds think alike!

Larger, bold images work best for stamping on this foil designer paper. Use what you have a home to add a little pizzazz to your next project! Another way to customize this designer paper is by using Stampin' Blends to add on to the design -- like Stampin' Up! Concept Arists did on this card:

A third way to customize the Silver & Gold Designer Paper is by using sponges, Blending Brushes, or a spritzer to color -- like Stampin' Up! Concept Artists did on this card.

Class Sneak Peek! Stampin' Up! Ringed with Nature Get Well Soon Card

There are just a few more days left to get your favorite Sale-a-Bration gifts before they are gone! One of my favorite this season is the Rings of Love Designer Paper! I've been sharing some projects that I've made this month (see them here), but today I wanted to share a sneak peek of one of the cards that we'll be making in the Ringed with Nature Free Online Class on Tuesday, August 30. 

I played around with different color card bases and ultimately decided to go with red because it coordinates well with the other cards, but if I were making this card on my own, I think I would change it to Petal Pink!

Stampin' Up! Rings of Love Designer Paper Fold Over Card + Video

I am always so inspired by the cards that I recieve in swaps. Today's card was inspired by Nancy Young, a demonstrator on my team who participated in our team one-for-one swap for Sale-a-Bration. She used the Wonderful World bundle (a designer paper and stamp set bundle that you can get for FREE with $100 order), but I opted for the level 1 Sale-a-Bration Rings of Love Designer Paper for my card.

I purposely chose to show off this designer paper pattern because it was one that I did not use on the cards that I designed for my Ringed with Nature class next week. I love that this card design allows you to see BOTH sides of the designer paper!

Stampin' Up! Perched in a Tree Card + Sunday Stamping Video

I was shocked when Stampin' Up! added new Sale-a-Bration gift options in August that they included BRAND NEW dies from the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog! I had already bought the dies as part of the Perched in a Tree Bundle -- and so did Mom! So we decided to highlight this beautiful stamp set and coordinating dies in a recent episode of Sunday Stamping with Susan & Julie. Here is the card that I designed for our video. I used the large oval die, but I cut the trees out of it and used them separately on the card.

I also incorporated the Silver & Gold Designer Paper -- another Sale-a-Bration favorite that you can choose for free when you order $50 or more before Sale-a-Bration ends on August 31.

Watch the replay of Sunday Stamping with Susan & Julie to see what Mom created with the Perched in Tree bundle and see more project ideas that use the Aspen Tree Dies!

Stampin' Up! Rings of Love 2023 Desktop Calendar

Is it too early to start thinking about making Christmas gifts? This simple desktop calendar would make a great gift -- for yourself or to give to family and friends this holiday season! 

I used the Sale-a-Bration Rings of Love Designer Paper on my new calendar because there is a different pattern for every month and seasonal images for the whole year!

Directions:

• Cut Designer Paper to 3 ¼” x 5 ¼” and punch holes at the top approximately 1/2" from top and 3/4" from each side.
• Print the calendar template on Basic White cardstock. Cut the top off at 2”. Cut the remaining cardstock in half at 4 ½”.
• Die cut the calendar pieces using the or Stitched Rectangle Dies (#151820) or (Retired) Stitched So Sweetly Dies (#151690).
• Attach die cut calendars to the designer paper pages using Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). 
• Add calendar pages to the 1-1/4” Binder Rings and wrap around the top of the pedestal frame.

I updated my calendar template for 2023 and included a second font option for a total of four different title style to choose from:
