My {Current} Favorite Papers!

March 3, 2010 by Robin

Aloha, all!

Now that the fall and winter holidays are past, I'm ready to move on to SPRING!  OK, so perhaps I'm not as ready here in Hawaii as those of you who've been dealing with the winter weather in the mainland USA and Canada.  But the days are getting longer, and I'm tired of Red!  Until the Fourth of July – but that's another time and place.

So far, my favorite Designer Series Paper for Spring is Tea Party, and I'm spending some time in the Craft Room this week playing with a brand new pack of Tea Party that was delivered to my home on Saturday.  My first card with it was the result of a sketch challenge (the sketch is at the end of this post).  What fun this was because we were to make a tall and thin card – or short and long – but I chose the former. 

One of the best features of Stampin' Up! products is how well everything goes together!  This printed sheet from Tea Party matches the So Saffron and Pretty in Pink accent card stock just perfectly.  Not only that, the Sizzix Stampin' Up! exclusive Embosslit, Sweetest Stem, carries out the same design features that are in the flowers in this paper.  Is that not just the best!

Even more – those So Saffron and Pretty in Pink Brads just set everything else off so nicely that I just can't keep my eyes off the picture.  Of course, the Certainly Celery Ink matches the Certainly Celery Card Stock that I used for the embosslit flower in the background.  What more could a stamper ask for?!  Oh, the money to buy it all, of course!  Lacking that, I'll work with what I have and enjoy the heck out of it.

Here's the sketch for this card.  I didn't use plain card stock as a card base for this project as the other side of this printed paper is light enough to hold a handwritten greeting just fine, though I may just slip in a folded note.

Robin Messenheimer

I have been stamping and paper crafting for over 30 years, and have been an Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator for 14 years.

My favorite part of being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator is teaching others to enjoy crafting themselves. Not only do I conduct classes in person, I write tutorials for teaching anyone who has internet access. No matter if you're in my area in The Villages in Florida or anywhere else in the world, let me know if there's something you'd like to learn! Read More…
