In addition to the fabulous DSP that I showed you yesterday this suite has Washi Tape, Champagne Foil Sheets, Foil Snowflakes, embellishments and an embossing folder!
This is the 'seasons greetings' card we made in my Christmas Card Class last Saturday morning.
And, this is the 'cheers to a new year!' card. Can you tell I am in 'love' with this suite? October is right around the corner and guess what? Stampin' Up! is making it easier for us to have all of the Designer Series Paper that we want. Beginning on Sunday if you buy three packages of DSP, your fourth one will be FREE! Put this suite on your October List ~ I know you will find lots of uses and make lots of cards to send to special friends and family!
Yummy Designer Series Paper........
September 26, 2017
I know you've seen this picture on page 36 in the Holiday Catalog ~ great ways to use the pretty Year of Cheer Specialty Designer Series Paper. This package of DSP is a little different ~ there are four designs using champagne, copper, gold and silver foil and you get 3 of each of the designs. However, the designs are single sided ~ the back is plain so you do NOT have to decide which side to use ~ what a relief!
The stamp set that goes with this Year of Cheer Suite is called Cheers to the Year and includes greetings for Christmas, the New Year and weddings. I put this card in the mail today to my nephew, Mark, and his bride to be, Dawn. The saying in the center says ~ ....and so your story begins.....! Their wedding is this coming Friday ~ so excited for them! More cards tomorrow using this fabulous suite!

Janie sent me this picture yesterday ~ along with this note....."Colorful Season stamp set and die set are a super value because it contains content for ALL 4 seasons! I used the fall leaves and die to make a box of 6 notecards. I made two cards each of orange, yellow and green cardstock. For the leaves I added Cherry Cobbler cardstock. The foil leaf vein/outline overlay was cut from gold, rose gold and copper foil. The set is going to my cousin, Jan, in SC who is recuperating from a left knee replacement. The deep colors of the leaves accented by the shiny foil overlay will make her smile. She sends me cards generated on her laptop.....she will be hard pressed to compete with these Stampin Up! cards!"
Lovely! Thanks for sharing, Janie! Susan Elise
