Cut the Designer Series Paper

  • Save
Follow the diagram above when cutting the paper for this project. 

The Paper Trimmer makes cutting large DSP so easy.  The lip at the 6” mark cuts it in half effortlessly without really having to measure.  You can quickly cut your 12” paper down to four 6” squares that are so much easier to use. 

Gorgeous Papers!

Coordinating cardstocks from left to right: Flirty Flamingo, Mint Macaron, Crushed Curry, Pear Pizzazz

These papers all came from the same set!  Use this card layout with any Designer Series Paper paired with coordinating cardstock.  You can find out what colors coordinate by looking at the packaging or checking the catalog.  

Decorate the Insides

  • Save

Sunny Sentiments stamp set is the perfect set for this card or any card where you need nice bold sentiments for the exterior or interior of your card. 

Decorate the Envelopes

Use the scraps of DSP leftover from cutting to decorate both the insides of the card and the envelopes!  You can make a whole card with just one 6×6″ square of pretty paper!
