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!
