This month's inspiration theme is all about Stampin' Up!'s amazing Designer Series Paper!  The quality is a nice weight, patterns on both sides, and comes in different sizes (12" x 12" or 6" x 6").  The Designer papers may be themed for specific occasions, but, like anything else, is very versatile to make creations for any occasion.

• The Mango Melody cardbase is accented with a beautiful floral design from the Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper pack matted with Pacific Point cardstock.  The sentiment comes from the Treat Time stamp set, which coordinates with the Petite Treats Framelits Dies.  You can purchase this bundle for a 10% savings.

• Another wonderful aspect of the Designer Series Paper packs is that the colors used in the patterns coordinate with Stampin' Up!'s cardstock.  I love that the guessing game of what colors I want to use is eliminated...the Pacific Point scallop die sentiment layer; and Melon Mambo banner cut strip accent the flowers in the paper.

Sooo, did you make it through without having to grab a pair of sunglasses?  It's really striking and vibrant, I think.  I'm certain that the person receiving this creation will definitely have one bright smile on their face.  I hope you will give this color combination a whirl.  I'm sure your mouth will water just playing with these colors.  haha!
