Fun Folds with Enjoy The Journey Designer Series Paper – a FREE Saleabration Item!

Enjoy the Journey Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up! is so beautiful! It uses bright colors to share mountain imagery as well as different repeating shapes and patterns. Every 12” x 12” Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack has 12 sheets of paper, 2 each of 6 double-sided designs. And even better, right now you can receive this pack of DSP for FREE with a $50 order during Saleabration!

Embossing, Designer Series Paper, and a large focal image combine to create this simple yet stunning card.

My first card uses just a 2” strip of one pattern of DSP to guide the color selection: I also chose a larger image (from Simply Succulents) to serve as the focal point for this card. I love line image stamps because they’re so versatile – I can stamp them in any color to keep it simple, or I can stamp and then color with Stampin’ Blends. Here, I chose to keep it simple, and I love how it turned out! The fonts used for the sentiment (also from Simply Succulents) are really striking, too.

Purples and blues in this fun fold project create a soothing mountain image.

My second card, the first fun fold for this class, has a totally different color scheme. Using Highland Heather and Starry Sky, along with a purple-tones panel of DSP, created a very soothing card any friend will be happy to receive. (And, purple is my favorite color! So of course this project made me really happy.) While fun folds can often be challenging to make AND difficult to figure out how to open, this fold is very accessible to crafters of any level.

Finally, the fold I’m sharing for my last card is a little more advanced but still totally doable. I CASEd it from Jackie Bolhuis at Klompen Stampers, and I love how you see two really great DSP patterns. Plus the recipient has a little fun opening it as it is a card-within-a-card!
