Coffee With A Splash Of Inspiration

I know I had one of these posts just the other day, but I had fallen behind and I’m trying to stay current! This post is for the live I did yesterday, so I’m on time this week!

Do you love the patterned paper on this card? Want to know where to buy it? Sorry, it isn’t for sale!!! I made it. I love making my own Designer Series Paper so today I decided to make some fall themed paper for my crafting.

How Do I Do This?

To make your own DSP, select 4-5 small to medium sized stamps and ink colours. You can double up on colours, but I like to use one colour for each stamp.
Start with the largest image and randomly stamp it on your cardstock. I like to use a full sheet of cardstock when I’m doing this and then cut it to size later. Add some of the next stamp, and continue with each stamp/colour.
You can go back any time and add more of a colour if you think it needs something. It is fine to overlap, it is fine to leave gaps. This is your paper, make it is a way that makes your heart sing.

This is the card I made second, swapping the Very Vanilla Thick card base for a Crushed Curry card base. I used the Forever Fern stamp set with all sorts of fall colours you will find below.
