Hi Friends,
I spent a few moments (long moments) cleaning my stamping studio. I am overrun with Designer Paper. It is beautiful but I need to use it, please post a link to your favorite card that uses DP. I will be forever grateful.
I need to make some cards quick. I would love to use this beautiful paper before my new catty order gets here! Thanks for comming to my rescue.
I hoarded it for a long time (bought it on clearance for either 10 or 25 cents a sheet several years ago). While I had fun using it I will admit that I was thrilled when I recently found an uncut sheet. It is one of my most favorite papers ever (and I've always loved paper ... used to try to convince my mom I needed an extra notebook just so I'd have one that was "new")
I checked your blog and your cards/tote are very nice. I couldn't post a comment (I wasn't sure which profile to choose and don't think I belong to any of them) but this is what I wrote before I realized I couldn't post:
"Lovely paper and your creations showcase them beautifully.
Happy Crafting!

ETA - I think you need to have 3+ posts before links get posted (so I just copied and posted into my browser). And, more importantly, your work does not look at all amateurish and SU is nott he only company with beautiful apper, stamps, etc. My wallet shops everywhere!
If you don't mind my amateur work and non-SU paper, I had started a blog to archive cards I've made recently. My absolute favorites so far are these: lovemecard.blogspot.com/2010/06/pun-fun.html Of course I would be honored if you checked out my other posts too.

You have some great ideas! Cute cards. Thanks for the ideas.
I made a cute card last night--I'll try and get a photo today. I covered the envelope flap with DP. Looked classy.
Please send me more ideas, I'm in my studio today. I'll let you know how many sheets of DP I use!
Anybody want to play??
Don't forget you can always use them for embellies - flowers, flourishes, paper ribbon, etc. My favorite lately is decorating SU's die cut box "Fancy Favor". It's a good size open box and can be stored flat if you don't pull the adhesive off the bottom (I use score tape which is wonderful). Kimberly Van Diepen has a wonderful video tutorial where she demonstrates how to put paper lace on the top of the boxes. Just too cute. Her blog where this is posted in Dec 2009 is http://stampinbythesea.com. You'll love it.

Tina, thanks for the compliments! You sure know how to make a girl blush, even through cyberspace!
This card is one of my favorite layouts for using DP! I have made many variations of this card. I have a sticky note with the block dimensions on my idea board. They are 2x 2 1/8 and 2x 3 1/8. Fun, fun card!
These cards would have to be my favorites. I had to go way back in my gallery because I find I'm using less DP these days.

These pocket fold cards give a new flare to the pocket fold. They are not mine, but Barb (who made these cards) showed a small group of us how to put them together. They're fun to make, pretty impressive IRL and use a sheet of 12x12 double sided DP (although I'm sure a crafty stamper could switch it up in some way)

This should keep me going for awhile. I need to make some graduation cards, loved the sample. Thanks for taking the time to post these. I do appreciate it!

Your card looks great! Your original post inspired me to use up some scraps on a card. It was great! Probably the fastest I've ever made a card. It was basically the same layout as this card you uploaded. Super cute, BTW.
I just found another use for some DP-- gift wrap. I pulled out a piece that I probably wasn't going to use from one of my stacks and wrapped a DVD present for a friend.

These cards are all beautiful! I think I'm always a little afraid of using DP. Always thinking everything has to match perfectly. You all have inspired me. I will over come my fear and use up the loads of DP I have!!!
Goals for 2015 50 scrapbook pages/50 cards---progress 35/50 cards Complete my daughter's wedding scrapbook album Spend more time enjoying my friends and not so much time obsessing on work!!!
