Tuesday's Tip at Ten- Just Flip It

 


Every time you cut a piece of Stampin' UP!'s Designer Series Paper, you have a choice to make. Which side to use! My Tip to you is to make two cards, same layout and flip the DSP one of them! 


Here is the Forever Love Designer Paper (DSP) and each side is just stunning!!!


This was my original design BUT I love my flipped side from above I think even more! 

Happy Stampin' Everyone!!!
