WHAT I LOVE! Designer Series Paper is the foundation of many of my simple cards. Today’s card took about 10 minutes to create from start to finish. The Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper offers oodles of possibilities with a wide array of cute, fun, all-occasion patterns! I love that I flipped over the swan pattern to find the perfect pattern for the envelope flap.
