Happiest Birthday Card Tutorial
Small pops of bright Designer Series Papers can make a big difference in your card designs. They add texture and color, and even in small amounts can make them look like you took hours to make them, or like you purchased it from a boutique! I love Berry Burst, but it will be retiring soon along with the Needlepoint Designer Series Paper (DSP). Those tiny flowers are punched with the Bitty Blooms Punch Pack and are a perfect pair for this product suite.
Product of the Week: Needlepoint Nook Designer Series Paper
This is one paper I couldn't wait to get my hands on! The Needlepoint Nook DSP is vibrant with many different colors that coordinate with the paper. It also features photo-realistic prints that look just like embroidery. Each paper has an embroidered pattern on one side, and then stitched line work with a solid-color background on the reverse. Perfect for spring and floral paper crafting, but the line work is excellent for more masculine needs too.
