Discounted Designer Series Paper!! From tomorrow, 1st July 2021, until 2nd August 2021 many of the Designer Series Papers in the Annual Catalogue are DISCOUNTED! An amazing 15% off ALL Designer Series Paper, other than Specialty Papers and Colour Family Papers. I know, that is just so AMAZING, so why not hop over to my online store and get stocked up NOW. Want to check which ones you want, then here are a few images to help you decide:

Beauty of the Earth – This paper is stunning whether you use it on its own or in conjunction with the matching Stamps and Dies. In the next few days I will have some projects to share with you that use these papers to their very best. The colours are perfect for all seasons and would be especially good on scrapbooking pages.

Pansy Petals – This paper includes ALL the New InColors as well as some of your favourites from our full colour family. All of the B sides are such useful patterns, so if you are looking for papers that are really versatile, this could be the paper pack you are looking for. If you watch the video you will see a couple of examples I have already made using these papers.

In the Wild – If you are looking for for papers that can work for both men and women, as well as our younger friends, then this could be the paper for you. The colour palette is very earthy, while the patterns are great for backgrounds and focal areas. If you have the dies, you will find that some of the images in the papers fit the dies. If you don’t have the dies, don’t worry, you can still fussy cut some of the images for some amazing projects.

You’re a Peach – if you are looking for a fresh palette of colours, then look no further, this is the paper pack for you. Including stripes, florals, all over backgrounds and, of course, peaches, this paper is wonderful for making projects now, just as the first peaches are coming into the shops. This is the Suite I chose for my last Creativity in a Box – Class in the Mail. I chose this suite because of the fresh colours, but also because it is so versatile. If you want to know more about my Classes in the Mail, please sign up to my Newsletter and you will be amongst the first to hear about my next one.

Bloom Where You’re Planted – This was on my ‘not sure’ list until only a few days ago. I had been looking for a neutral background for a project and then realised that there are images in these papers that are really great for fussy cutting, so I did. I have a few more projects to share using this paper soon. One of my Team selected the whole Suite as one of her Incentive Gifts and when I saw everything before sending it off to her, I decided that I ‘needed’ it too. It is on its way and I am hoping that my the time you read this, it will be on my Craft Desk!

Tidings of Christmas – These papers are 6 x 6″ and have a slightly different colour palette. Don’t get me wrong, the colours are basically Red and Green, but the richer/earthier shades, with some Sahara Sand to lift it a little and some Misty Moonlight to add a little surprise. I don’t think these papers need to be just for Christmas, indeed I have used them for non-Christmas already. I will be adding a Christmas In a Box Club to my classes very soon, starting with this paper. I will be helping my customers make lots of projects ready for the Christmas Season. Again, sign up to my Newsletter to be one of the first people to hear about that. It will be at a slightly lower price point than my Creativity in a Box – Class in the Mail.

Hand-Penned – This has to be one of the most popular papers in the new Annual Catalogue. It is just so pretty and, again, the B Sides hare perfect for backgrounds. One of the reasons I like that the B Sides of papers are plainer is so I don’t feel I have to choose between the 2 sides. That is not to say that I don’t like the B Sides in this pack, I do, but if there are 2 intricate patterns on the same sheet it can be difficult. The Genial Gems, which seem to be one of my favourite Embellishment Packs, are part of this suite, although I am using them on so many projects. I will be brining you some projects featuring this paper in the next couple of weeks.

Sweet Symmetry – What a fun set of papers. These remind me of 1970’s wall paper and Scandi influences. The colours are definitely from the 1970s and I wonder if the designers saw my bedroom when I was 12 or 13! If you are concerned that the patterns are too busy for you, why not try using just a few small pieces on a card, maybe behind a simple die cut? This is certainly what I am intending to do in the next few days.

In Good Taste – Now THIS is a pack of paper! Twice the number of designs, twice the number of sheets, but NOT twice the price. Although you may not realise it, if you visit my Blog on a regular basis you will have seen a few of these designs. I use these as backgrounds for many of my photos. The patterns are all taken from photos of actual textures, including textiles, wooden planking, tiles and a lot more. Although most of the patterns are in colours from the Neutrals Colour Family, there are also a couple of pinks in there, including the now retired, Rococo Rose. This means that, while it is great for more masculine projects, it also has something for our girlfriends.
