Perennial Essence DSP Pops On All White Cards
I have been waiting to create with my Perennial Essence designer series paper, and Sunday afternoon seemed as good a time as any. This paper is so colorful and so beautiful, you could almost just frame each piece as it is and hang it on the wall - in fact I have heard of people doing just that.

Dino-riffic Cards with just the Dinoroar Designer Series Paper
My Dinoroar designer series paper arrived this week, and I was excited to try some Birthday card designs for kids. I did not order the stamp set or dies, as I figured the paper itself would give me all the cards I could ever use in a lifetime. There are only two little kids in my extended family at the moment, so most of these cards will be sold. I can see how this suite could be used in a hundred ways to make lots of variation - so if you have lots of little ones in your family, I'd think about investing in this suite.
Cards For Men Are Important Too - and Not Difficult

Men like to receive nice cards too, and Stampin' Up! has a number of stamp sets and papers that meet the needs of more "manly" or "masculine" cards. The garage suite makes wonderful cards for men, and with very little effort. All the different sides of the Designer Series Paper coordinate well, and two sheets have great car and bike designs you can fussy cut and use as embellishments.
Grapefruit Grove Foil Adds a Little Sparkle

If you were lucky enough to get some of the Sale-A-Bration Grapefruit Grove foil paper, then you know just how beautiful it is under direct light - It shines with a rainbow of colours. It just so happens to go perfectly with the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper too.
I used the subtle embossing folder on the foil to give it some interest and texture - and WOW! It made these cards look absolutely fantastic! I"m not a fan of pink per se, but I LOVE these.
