Do you have a ton of left over scraps of cardstock and Designer Series Paper?  Here is a great way to use up some of those scraps.  This is called a Herringbone design and it is very easy to do.  Instead of throwing those small pieces away, you can use for something like this.  For this card I used the Color Collection Designer Series Paper Stacks in Brights.  One of the reasons I love this paper is you get 4 sheets of different designs in every color Stampin’ Up! offers.  That is 40 sheets of 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper for $21.95.  It is an awesome value!  There are even stacks for the In-Colors!

The stamp set I used is called A Dozen Thoughts which is a very versatile set.  It has a sentiment for just about every thought out there.  I love sets that can be used over and over.
