Magical Designer Series Paper

Designer Series Paper, Stampin' Up!'s double sided pattern paper, often just called DSP, is one of my favorite products to use.  Often it is a great accent to any card but there are times that DSP can do all the heavy lifting in making a card.  When it does it makes creating a card so very easy. 

Today I am going to show you how to let your DSP to all the heavy lifting in creating beautiful cards. What is great about this “technique” is that you need minimal supplies just stamps, ink and paper.  It is perfect for those who are new to card making.

In today’s cards I used the Thoughtful Journey DSP from the Stampin’ Up!®  2024-2025 Annual Catalog.  I also used one of my most favorite stamp sets Courage & Faith.

Here are the dimensions and other details for the cards.  You can watch the video, see link below, from my YouTube channel to see how I made the cards.
