We have so many great Designer Series Papers (DSP) and I wanted to feature a few projects using some of these papers that will be going away. While many of the stamp sets that I am featuring will be carrying over unfortunately the DSP will not be. Sometimes they carry over, but with a major color change like we are having we will be getting all new DSP.

I had a lot of fun with these cards. My husband and I actually met when I asked him for a ride on his motorcycle almost 30 years ago. His favorite colors are purple and green so when I finally had a chance to play with this set I had him help me with the coloring. You’ll notice that the motorcycles vary a bit from each other as I played with different combinations. I’m featuring the Ready to Ride DSP which is part of the Suite Collection along with the Silver Foil that has been embossed.

Here’s one more card using this suite. I will list the additional products used along with the colors. One of the things I love about his card is how well the large watercolor world stamp set works so well with the motorcycle.

I am in love with this quick and easy layout. I’ve actually made multiple cards using this layout. I was going off a similar layout and cut the paper the wrong size however once I did I decided I liked this size even better. This card works perfect with our DSP. Simply cut your DSP into 4 x 8. You can get four cards out of one piece of DSP and still have a 4×4 square left for other projects. To finish you will score it at 2″ and 4″. Attached the 4×4 section to a 4 1/4″ by 4 1/4″ background and decorate how you want. The main image is designed to be centered and only attach to half the card when folded back like a Z-Fold card. This hides the image below which is in a similar shape.
