Not only is it another More Color Monday but it is also a sneak peak at another fabulous 2024 Sale-a-bration 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper offering for Level One. That means starting January 4th, for every $50 spent you can earn one Level One item offered in the Upcoming Sale-a-bration catalog and if you are already a customer of mine you will be getting one in the mail soon along with the new 2024 January to December Mini catalog!
The awesome thing about Designer Series Paper is that the concept artists at Stampin’ Up! have already done all the work for you – not only in designing gorgeous DSP but the color coordination that Stampin’ Up! is famous for.
I picked three of the colors in this new DSP and ran with it for today’s color challenge! Wild Wheat, Lost Lagoon and Pool party take center stage for today’s More Color Monday sneak peak!

Measurements:
BASE: Pool Party CS 4 1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5 1/2″
DSP 3 3/4″ x 5 1/4″ – cut at 1″ and 2 3/4″
Scraps of Basic white for stamp and die cutting
and sentiment piece
Lost Lagoon scraps for dies & sentiment matte

Most of the time Stampin’ Up! coordinates the A and B sides of their Designer Series Paper so if you cut and flip you can use both sides together and the color coordination is perfect!
This is a cut and flip card – take the two 1″ x 5 1/4″ strips and adhere them to the outside edges of the card front leaving an equal 1/8″ border on top, bottom and outside edges.

Adhere the opposite side of the DSP to the middle leaving an even border on all sides.
Such an easy and dramatic start to the card!

Place a strip of tape on the card across the area you want to place your sentiment piece.
Cut about 10-12 inch piece of the new Faux Leather Trim (which you will see in the upcoming mini catalog in the Nature’s Sweetness suite) and adhere in a loopy back and forth pattern.

Stamp the sentiment from the coordinating stamp bundle Stippled Rose in Lost Lagoon and matte onto coordinating Lost Lagoon card stock.
Adher with Stampin’ Dimensionals on top of the Leather Trim accent.

Die cut a few of the sprigs from the Stippled Rose die set and stamp in Pool Party the leaf sprig twice from the Stippled Rose stamp set and die cut. I cut one of these stamped leaf sprig in half to better accommodate my design.
Arrange the sprigs under the sentiment piece to your liking and adhere using mini glue dots

Add Adhesive-Backed milky Dots to finish off the card in perfect color coordination and your More Color Monday card is complete!

Just a reminder this is a sneak peak post so not all of the products mentioned are available until January 4th so the picture links below will not contain these items!

Try your hand at this easy DSP card in the meantime and plan on seeing some of these great new products first hand in January at my Sale-a-bration Open House. If you are new to me and do not already have a demonstrator and would like some new catalogs, message me from this website or directly at nataliestamps@aol.com.

Now go and create some artwork of your own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’
