FOUR CARD LAYOUTS TO HELP YOU USE YOUR DESIGNER SERIES PAPER

 Hi Stampers!

Today I am sharing four card layouts that feature Designer Series Paper. If you have a stack of DSP or even some larger scraps, these cards are a great way to put that stack to use. For today’s cards I used the HAND-PENNED DSP and the HAND-PENNED PETALS stamp set. Both items can be found in the STAMPIN’ UP!®️ 2021-2022 ANNUAL CATALOG.

Here is a look at the stamp set:

Here is a look at the cards:

Below are the supply lists and basic instructions for each card.
