This is a project I created for a past UStamp session to give you an idea of what you might see:
Isn't the Kaleidoscope Designer Paper is beautiful! I used it to re-create my Whirl-A-Round desk caddy project. (You can see the original set HERE.)
The variations in the Kaleidoscope paper were fun to work with - very bold and bright. I wanted to use the Very Thankful stamp set and was delighted to see how the different paper patterns worked with the diverse stamps of this set.
I added confetti hearts to the treat cups.
Thanks to Felicity Fernandez for the idea of putting an empty ribbon spool underneath to make it turn easily.
It has room for LOTS of cards plus envelopes.
Check out this yummy paper. Elegant swirls for the peacock:
Spots for the turtle:
Stripes for the boy:
And geometric for the circular design:
