The Ice Cream Corner Designer Series is perfect for birthday card and kids cards of any occasion.
This is what I call a “flip-it” card layout. Just trim the bottom and cut the larger part at any point you want. Flip one of the Designer Series Papers over so you can see both sides!

The four rectangles can really be any size – but this is the template I used:
Look how cute this Snail Mail Designer Series Paper is!!!
Cut the DSP like the photo shows and layer the three strips on a 4-1/2″ x 3-3/4″ piece of Whisper White. Add the other piece to the card inside.
The Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper is gorgeous. Here it is in a simple Z fold card.
You will get two cards out of this piece.

Notice how you see both sides of the paper on this card when you open it. Just trim 3/4″ off the bottom and add it to the card inside.

Cut your DSP at an angle and you can make two cards.
The Dandy Garden Designer Series Paper includes dragonflies and many different garden looks.
You can make two cards with this piece. If you prefer the layered look, add a 3-1/4″ square piece of coordinating cardstock.

Lots of fun, easy designs which I desperately need if I’m ever going to work my way through my designer series paper stash, but if I must pick a favorite mine would be Card #3 with the Field & Flowers DSP, love that pretty design and I’m definitely going to work it in to a card I hope to make today. Thanks Karen.

Field and flowers with the squares win my vote, although they are all wonderful. Thanks for sharing.

Love them all, but since I have to vote for one that would be the squares with the flower cut out in the middle.
