Tuesday Tips - Newsprint Designer Series Paper

Have you seen the First Edition Designer Series Paper from the current Occasions Mini Catalog?  This gorgeous paper is so versatile.  It can work for a masculine card, for a nature look, vintage styled cards, and more!  That's my tip for this week:  Experiment with newsprint-styled paper, such as the First Edition dsp! 

Today's card features this First Edition dsp.  It also features our current Sale-a-Bration FREE stamp set called Bliss.  One of my favorite Stampin' Up products is the line of paper punches.  The "happy birthday" message on this card is one of six rubber stamps that comprise the Perfect Punches stamp set.  Why is it called Perfect Punches?  Because every stamp coordinates with a Stampin' Up paper punch!  Fun!
