HOW TO USE PATTERNED PAPER

Have you ever wondered how to use patterned or Designer Series Paper.  Here are two examples to give you some ideas.  The upper card is mostly DSP, Patio Party.  It makes the entire card.   The Stamp Set used was Perfectly Penned with Midnight Muse, Summer Starfruit, and Whisper White Cardstock.  this card was made by Angie Brailsford.

The card below was made by Carol Taggart of Hanover, PA.  Here the DSP, Print Poetry Stack, is used in a much smaller way, inside the hexagons from the Honeycomb Embossing Folder.
