🌸 Flashback: Pinwheel Card Technique with the Stampin' Up! Unbounded Beauty DSP

 

It’s time for another Flashback Friday, and I’m so excited to revisit one of my favourite projects featuring the stunning Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper! This card came together during a live video I hosted, and it perfectly captures the soft, airy feel that this paper brings to any handmade creation.

Why I Love This Paper.

The Unbounded Beauty DSP is a dream to work with. It’s filled with watercoloured florals, mellow stripes, and organic washes—all in the lovely 2024–2026 In Colors. Whether you’re trimming it for a background or fussy-cutting florals for card fronts, it adds an effortless elegance to every project.

This particular card was a joy to make live, and I especially loved highlighting the gentle hues like Petunia Pop, Peach Pie, and Summer Splash. The finished result? A soft, layered look that’s as delicate as it is eye-catching.

📽️ Missed the Live on my Facebook page or YouTube channel?

No worries! You can catch the full replay with a click of the photo above or HERE.

And while you’re there, be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel so you never miss a project, tutorial, or crafty tips! 

Featured Product: Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper

• 12 sheets of patterned paper (2 each of 6 double-sided designs)
• Size: 12” x 12” (30.5 x 30.5 cm)
• Acid-free and lignin-free
• Colours: Berry Burst, Calypso Coral, Peach Pie, Petunia Pop, Pretty in Pink, Pretty Peacock, Shy Shamrock, Summer Splash
