This post I decided included some Tips on how to use, not hoard your Designer Series Paper - scroll down to see more.
Here is the theme this month - Celebrate!
Here is my card
I used the brand new stamp set called Balloon Celebration that will be released in Australia on the 5th January. The clouds, the sentiment and the balloons all came from that same set. The Designer Series Paper came from the Birthday Bouquet Designer Series Paper.
I love the Pink Pirouette, Mint Macaron and Smoky Slate all together like this. I think this would be a great card to celebrate a friend that you have found out is pregnant but you aren't sure of the gender of the child yet. Or there are many other occasions that could work with this card so it is very versatile. I am not sure if you noticed but my card today I took the idea from my recent card and just slightly change the layout.
It is a great way to make a few different cards fast - stick to the same colour and layout but change up the stamp set that you use. It keeps it original, yet helps you finish a card fast.

DeleteI love these colours, and fell in love with balloons when I saw them.
ReplyDeletePS. I think I may be a hoarder lol - its all so pretty I don't want to cut it!
Hahahah - That is the number one issue - we don't want to cut it. But in order to show the world how pretty it is - you need to chop it!
DeleteGorgeous card Kylie. Thanks too for the anti-DSPhoarding tips! I am a DSP hoarder too! Will take note and use it up! Lol :-) x
ReplyDeleteHaha - Yes I think the hoarding is in all of us because we love paper so much we don't want to hurt it. lol

DeleteGreat card and great tips for Paper Hoarders - me being one of them!
ReplyDeleteYes me too Paula! The tips are for my reference to make sure I use it.
DeleteKylie, I really love your card. It remember´s me to my childhood (? when I was a little child).. My dad bought me eacht time, we visited a funfair, a helium balloon. When we came home, it was traditional to let him free.. We watched him, till the ballon was at the sky to all the angles and my grandmum. So we send her love.
ReplyDeleteHugs Tanja
