Welcome to the ABC’s with DSP! This month I am featuring projects showcasing Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper. Today I am using the Moroccan Designer Series Paper. This paper pack was not on my wish list and I did not even purchase it until the BOGO special this month. Boy was I missing out! This paper has gorgeous designs on both sides and now I can’t wait to create with it! Here’s my first card made with this DSP (look for many more to come).
Stampin’ Up! Moroccan Designer Series Paper and Moroccan Nights Stamp Set
I love Dapper Denim and Emerald Envy together. This card came together quickly with the help of the Layering Circles Framelits and Duet Banner Punch. The sentiment is from the Jar of Love Stamp Set and is perfect with these hanging lanterns from the Moroccan Nights Stamp Set. I cut the DSP at 2″ for both my card and matching envelope.

I love the Stampin’ Up! Punches! They make it so easy to add interesting layers to a project. I have plenty of photos and punched projects to share with you today as well as my Paper Pumpkin Preview, videos, and special offers. Let’s get started with a quick 2 minute video showcasing one of my favorite punches, the tag topper punch.
Oh My Gosh!!! Did you just love the candle wrap she showed in the video?! What a clever gift presentation! Here are some projects I made with the tag topper punch.
The tag topper punch can be used for cards, gift pouches, as well as tags and more. I love making gift sets that all go together. The measurements for the gift pouch came from Hannah McCurley (StampinbyHannah). Start with a piece of 4 x 4 1/2 Designer Series Paper and score on the long side @ 2″ and 4″. Add tear & tape along the edge to adhere. Punch the top with the tag topper punch and staple the bottom closed. I decorated the front using the Balloon Bouquet Punch and stamped the sentiment from Thoughtful Banners. This is the perfect size treat holder for miniature candy bars.

I embossed the matching gift tag with the Confetti Embossing Folder and punched coordinating balloons. The sentiment is punched out using the Duet Banner Punch. The Basic Black Bakers Twine is used on all 3 projects to “tie” it all together. 🙂

You can watch the short video below to see how I made this gift box topper using the Festive Flower Punch. The sentiment on the tag is punched with the Decorative Label Punch.
Here’s a little trick I found on Pinterest for using the Elegant Butterfly and circle punches to make bats. So cool for Halloween projects!!
As you can see in the photo below I have Plenty of Punches! The Stampin’ Up! Punches can store flat or standing on edge. It’s best to use your whole hand when punching. These punches work better if you set them flat on a table and then punch using direct downward pressure. Happy Punching!

Paper Pumpkin Preview…Something Good To Eat Kit September 2016
I LOVE surprises! Each month I look forward to my “Happy Mail”. I made this fun card for my daughter using my June Paper Pumpkin kit. I wanted to give her a special thank you card for helping me set up my blog. I think this banner surprise card did the trick!
Watch the video below to check out everything that came in my Paper Pumpkin box and see how to put this cool banner card together. Directions and all the supplies you need are in the box!
I think you’ll agree you get a great bang for your buck! I usually have lots of left over supplies to use on other projects. I’ve been a Paper Pumpkin subscriber now for almost 3 years. I love to take mine with me when I am traveling. It’s easy to work on because everything I need is inside the box. I offer alternative project ideas each month. For this card I used the Banners for You stamp set and matching Bunch of Banners Framelits to stamp and cut out the sentiment. I popped it up with dimensionals and thought it was just perfect for my daughter. She is an amazing young lady and I am so proud of her! She wanted me to start this blog so I wouldn’t miss her so much when she leaves for college next month. (How sweet is that!) I don’t think anything is going to make me miss her any less but I do enjoy creating and sharing with others.
If you would like to get some “Happy Mail” and start receiving your Paper Pumpkin kit you need to sign up by the 10th of the month to get that month’s kit. Signing up is easy….just click SHOP PAPER PUMPKIN in the bar at the top. Your kit will be delivered right to your door (shipping & handling is included).
