One of the things Stampin’ Up! does so beautifully is designing classy, coordinating patterns for their designer series paper collections. At the top of your wish list should be Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper. It will fill your creative cup with a masterful mix of color and pattern for many occasions.
WHAT I LOVE! The “lesson” I rely on to style two patterns together from a designer series paper collection is to combine a large and small scale pattern. The daisy pattern (“large”) couldn’t look sweeter than when paired with the dots (“small” pattern). Both are from Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper. Stampin’ Up! has done the work for you!
FREE DESIGNER SERIES PAPER COORDINATING COLOR CHARTS! I offer FREE designer series paper coordinating color charts that make the art of choosing colors, coordination and creating simple cards even easier. Save/print and keep them handy when you are organizing and preparing a paper crafting project. I refer to mine often!
The current DSP color chart includes the 2024 – 2025 Annual Catalog, Online Exclusives Designer Series and Specialty Papers.
The retired DSP color chart includes papers dating back to 2008 – Current.
