Some suggestions for Cardstock and Designer Series Paper
I’ve made this project using Basic Black 12″ x 12″ cardstock as I wanted to use the gorgeous Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Papers available for free currently during Sale-A-Bration. However the Basic Black 12″ x 12″ cardstock is no longer available, but worry not, there are LOADS more gorgeous 12″ x 12″ cardstock to choose from . I will make some suggestions for you below and be sure to check out the Handy Product List at the bottom of this post too.
I would seriously suggest you check out Sale-A-Bration to see what fabulous freebies you can get your hands on and how easy it is to qualify for these. Wouldn’t it just be mad to lose out on getting freebies!
Here are the ever so gorgeous 12″ x 12″ Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Papers, available free with a qualifying purchase. These are the papers I used for this project. The colours and patterns make this a wonderfully versatile paper pack.
Coordinating colours for this free pack of Designer Series Paper is Balmy Blue (Subtles family), Daffodil Delight (Brights family), Grapefruit Grove (2018-20120 In Color family), Highland Heather (Subtles family), Lemon Lime Twist (2017-2019 In Color family), Whisper White and Basic Black. And all of these colours are available in 12″ x 12″ cardstock apart from Basic Black.
In case you’re wondering what ‘family’ means, it relates to the coordinating colour collections available to you. You can clearly see these in the Annual Catalogue or Online Shop.
