If you’re like me, you love patterned paper, or DSP (Designer Series Paper): those beautiful colors, the coordinating stamp sets, the versatile “plain” patterns on the back. The only problem is actually using it, am I right?
In this Splash of Inkspiration class, we’ll apply “Love It, Chop It!” principles to the fun and beautiful Come to Gather Designer Series Paper, as seen on page 46-48 of the Stampin’ Up! 2019 Holiday Catalog. (Kylie Bertucci, a demonstrator from Australia, popularized the notion of prepping your DSP so that it is ready to use.) The secret is the cutting template* you can use to cut a single sheet of 12” x 12” paper into several panels. You’ll be able to make dozens and dozens of cards from a pack of patterned paper! *Note that the cutting diagram for this event is different from the one used for the 2019 April Love It, Chop It class.
I’ll cut up each of the six Come to Gather patterns using the template—the entire package. From those panels you’ll make 12 embellished greeting cards (3 each of 4 designs) with envelopes using the Gather Together photopolymer stamp set and Gathered Leaves dies. (The stamps and dies are available to add on to your registration.) A few other stamps, dies, and punches will be used to create non-seasonal cards as well. There will be lots of pre-cut leftover panels to use later, packaged in a labeled plastic case.
