Floating Panel DSP card

Floating Panel DSP card . The theme in June for the Tech 4 Stampers Blog Hop is to use Designer Series Papers. The papers I used is from the Unbounded Beauty Suite Collection on pages 54 – 55 in the 2024-25 Annual Catalogue. They have the 2024-26 In Color palette in its Unbounded Beauty 12″x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack.

An idea for this month’s theme using DSP had been buzzing in my head for a while. So I hope you like it!

The Tech 4 Stampers is a monthly subscription group run by Louise Sims. She mentors and enables members to understand IT jargon and equips them with a fountain of Technical knowledge to build or manage their own websites. It takes the mystery out of “tech” and I’ve certainly grown in confidence thanks to her expertise, patience and guidance. Not only that, I’ve met and made new friends with my fellow “Techs” and love the camaraderie within the group.

    • Thank you – Unbounded Beauty DSP is a great one to work with especially since it has glimmer paper to match!

    • Thank you – which Suite? Unbounded Beauty or Full of Life? I used the papers from one and the stamps+dies from Full of Life. My first purchase was Unbounded Beauty during pre-order, but Full of Life is more recent. Sometimes it’s hard to choose isn’t it? If you’re anything like me, I ended up getting both! lol!
