Oh, how I loved this Petal Passion Designer Series Paper from the 2018 Stampin’ Up! Occasions Catalog. I’ve loved working with it, but it’s now onto the Stampin’ Up! Retiring Products List, and only available while stocks last through May 31st.
The three main reasons I loved it, were:
- It is a great neutral paper as a black and white, but this one for me was particularly useful because the contrast of the black was toned down quite a bit by the sketch look of the images, so there is actually quite a lot of softer grey in there too;
- It has a floral / nature theme which is my favorite paper themes;
- It was FABULOUS to color with Stampin’ Blends ( 11 fabulous new colors in light and dark are coming June 1st!)
- It coordinates beautifully with the Petal Palette bundle (carrying over to the 2018-2019 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog, but only available at the 10% bundle price until May 31st.
So as you can see, it is super versatile. Here are a couple of cards I made with this beautiful paper. For this card, I have just used different colors of the Stampin’ Blends to color flowers on the paper.
And here’s another:
It’s so fun to see what a different background card stock and ribbon will do. It brings an entirely different feel to it.
With this one, I only colored some of the paper and left the rest in black and white.
Finally, I made some cards using the black and white Designer Series Paper AS IS!
Check out the links at the end of this post, and don’t miss out on the beautiful Petal Passion paper pack, along with the coordinating embellishments and Memories and More pack (only available while stocks last or May 31st) and bundle pricing on the Petal Palette bundle (ends May 21st).
