Have you ever opened a pack of paper and felt so inspired that you simply couldn’t stop at just one project? That is exactly what happened when I got my hands on the Lovely & Beautiful Specialty Designer Series Paper. It is so dreamy and gorgeous that my original plan for a single card quickly turned into a trio of floral designs! Today, I’m sharing how you can take one pack of this stunning patterned paper and—with a few “easy extras” like heat and dry embossing—elevate your simple layouts into something truly specialty. Whether you’re looking for a quick “Casual Friday” style or a sophisticated “Tuesday Night” look, these three card ideas will show you how to let your DSP do the heavy lifting.
