 Storybook Friends DSP has perforated punch out images, images that can be diecut and there are shapes to use when designing a card. Wowser! Oh yes and there are regular pages full of pretty prints too, like wallpaper, houses, garden tools, cute animal characters and more!

Storybook Friends

 

I'm super excited about this suite of products!!! I'm a huge fan of Beatrix Potter and these characters look so much like hers:) I even got out my watercolor pencils and my new Caran d'Ache Wax Pastels (which are similar to watercolor crayons... on steroids!) to color them with. I watched a great video by Leslie Watkins, a fellow Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, and was FINALLY successful at getting that pale watercolor look that I've strived for! If you'd like to see her video here's a link:   https://www.youtube.com/live/OhAdc5ai8Fs?si=dAW2f46fagNyXjLA

I thought I ordered the Storybook Friends Designer Series Paper when I ordered the stamp set and dies... I ordered the Timeless Plaid DSP by mistake, and was so disapointed. I wanted to show my friends in Stamping Class the paper with allll those adorable characters on it. They can be cut out with the dies and two whole pages are perferated, so all you have to do is punch them out! I ordered TWO sets of that paper and it should arrive next week!
