BE INSPIRED | BY PATTERNED PAPER

The Be Inspired Design Team is hopping today, and our theme this month is “Be Inspired by Patterned Paper! I’m so excited to see how each designer has brought this theme to life. Be sure to hop around and soak up all the creativity from this talented group - there’s inspiration in every corner! For my project, I chose soft vertical stripes as the backdrop for layered florals and heartfelt sentiments. The Brushed with Beauty Designer Series Paper adds instant charm and texture, and I loved pairing it with twine, gold accents, and phrases like “BIG thanks,” “FOR someone EXTRA special,” and “BIRTHDAY wishes" from the 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar Stamp Set. Each card is a celebration of thoughtful design and the joy of handmade giving. Whether you're drawn to bold prints or subtle textures, patterned paper opens up endless possibilities. I hope these designs spark ideas for your next creation! Next up in today's hop is my lovely and inspirational friend Andrea Sarge...

NORTH POLE FANCY FOLD CHRISTMAS CARD | FACEBOOK LIVE

On my latest Facebook Live, I created this fun and festive Christmas card using the North Pole Delivery Designer Series Paper. This pack is full of charming holiday images, and I couldn't resist using the cosy house, festive pup and sweet details to bring this scene to life. For the card base, I used a fancy fold variation where part of the card front is cut away. This creates a playful layered effect and lets the focal image shine. The Designer Series Paper really does all the work here, the patterns coordinate beautifully, and the little touches of sparkle add that extra Christmas magic. I love how the dog in the red jumper brings a touch of warmth and whimsy - carrying happy mail, no doubt! Paired with the bold Merry Christmas sentiment, this card is sure to brighten someone's festive season!
