PENGUIN PLAYMATES & PEACEFUL PRINTS DSPS - THEY’RE NOT JUST FOR THE HOLIDAYS!

 Hi Stampers!

September arrives in a few days, and that means we are right in the middle of SALE-A-BRATION! Today I thought we would take another look at two collections of Designer Series Papers featured in the Sale-a-bration Brochure. You can select either one of these papers for free with a $50 Stampin’ Up!®️ product purchase now through 30 September 2021. The two collections of DSP I am focusing on today are PENGUIN PLAYMATES & PEACEFUL PRINTS. 

PENGUIN PLAYMATES


This DSP is wintry, whimsical, and festive! It coordinates with the PENGUIN PLACE BUNDLE (Penguin Place stamp set and Penguin Builder punch) found in the Stampin’ Up! July-August 2021 Mini Catalog. The paper is great for backgrounds, paper piecing, fussy cutting, and one of the penguin images coordinates with the Penguin Builder punch!

PEACEFUL PRINTS


This DSP is comfy and cozy and perfect for rustic, woodsy, and country looking Christmas cards. It coordinates with the PEACEFUL DEER BUNDLE (Peaceful Deer stamp set and Deer Builder punch) found in the Stampin’ Up! July - December 2021 Mini Catalog.  This DSP is great for layering, backgrounds, and more. The deer image coordinates with the deer builder punch. One of the deer images faces the opposite direction of the punch. To learn how to use the punch with that image see my 10 August 2021 post.

CHRISTMAS CARDS


Here are four Christmas cards I created using the DSPS. These papers are great for Holiday cards, but they also can be used on cards for any occasion! Stampin’ Up!’s DSPs usually have a theme based print on one side and a more neutral / generic pattern on the other side. 

Here are some non- Christmas cards I made using the DSPs. I chose to make mostly birthday cards, but all the cards can easily be adapted for any occasion.
