Pretty Paper Packets – Ideas to Use Today!

Today I am sharing some ideas with you using the February Pretty Paper Packet. This packet consists of several pieces of Parisian Blossoms DSP, cardstock, foil, embellishments and ribbon. 

I want to show you how to use these products without having to purchase the coordinating stamps and dies.

This first card is based on a design from Connie Stewart. So simple and yet very pretty. I promise your friends will be impressed when they receive this card. I made 3 cards using this layout: birthday, thank you, and get well. It would be easy to make several of these at one time and leave off the sentiment. When you need a card, grab this and add the appropriate sentiment. Bam!

My next card is layered designer series paper, add a ribbon and desired sentiment, pop in the mail. Easy peasy.

If you did purchase the coordinating stamp set, you can make some lovely cards using the stamps and dies but I wanted to give you ideas for using your packets in a different way. I hope these ideas will spark your creativity. Please share what you have created with your Pretty Paper Packets. I would love to see your creations.

Feels Like Frost Pretty Paper Packets

A new month means a new Pretty Paper Packet. This month’s Packets includes some of the prettiest Designer Series Paper we have for this year. I love the photo-realistic images and soft cool colors of Feels Like Frost. This paper is appropriate for Christmas, but I think it also works for New Years, birthdays and sympathy cards.

I have two cards to share with you that are created with a few on the October kit supplies. These cards are super simple and show off the beautiful Designer Series Paper. I left them simple so I can use them for any occasion.

Pretty Paper Packet Tags for Christmas

Pretty Paper Packets are so much fun for creating small projects. They give you a “taste” of our products and don’t take up as much room as an entire suite or bundle. 

Here are the contents of the September Pretty Paper Packet:

 Today I am sharing a simple set of tags created with some of the products from the September Packet. I think these tags will look fabulous on your Christmas gifts this year.
