Hello Paper Crafters! I’m Mercedes Weber, an avid paper crafter & a member of the 2017 Stampin’ Up! Artisan Design Team member. I’m so excited to have a chance to share my creations with you!
I have a true confession to share before we get started…I have a deep love affair with pretty papers. So on that note let’s talk about one of the yummiest papers I have EVER seen, Stampin’ Up!’s Cupcakes & Carousels Designer Series Paper!
Trust me when I say you NEED this in your life. Seriously.
I am so in love and I knew my daughter would adore it too, so I created a little birthday ensemble for her.
Of course every birthday girl needs a pretty card. Did ya notice that beautiful gold scroll looking piece? Isn’t it uber fab?! It comes in an accessory pack that matches the Cupcakes & Carousels product suite! And those new doilies, yeah pretty much a must have too!
What 11-year-old doesn’t love a cupcake on their special day?! I made a cute little cupcake box using the Gift Box Punch Board & decorated it with the papers from the 6×6 pad. Yep, the carousel horse & adorable banner are both cut from the designs in the stack!
So there you have a bit of inspiration for creating with this amazing little stack of awesomeness!
GIVEAWAY!

Great new products. They all look like so much fun. The Party Animal stamp set really caught my eye.
I absolutely love the new catalog with the fantastic stamps and dies! So hard to choose what I want first!
LOVE the carousel horse image! Thanks for sharing your creativity.
That is a perfect ensemble with those lovely papers.
So many fantastic new items! My favorites are the Easter Messages, High Tide and Falling in Love (especially since my oldest is getting married!). Thanks for a chance to win such a fantastic prize – the Cupcakes & Carousel Suite is adorable
Love this set and the paper is awesome!
I love the Love Note framelet set!
Such a fun collection.
This is just delightful! We are expecting a first grand baby – a girl – and I could see using this for so many fun projects!
Wow, Mercedes! Beautiful projects! I would love the opportunity to case them. Thank you!
I enjoyed the whole book! My favourite stamp set was “Sending Thoughts.” Very appropriate sayings for friends who are going through hard times. This paper is awesome! The whole set is so amazing! So much that you could do with this set! Thanks to Stampin Up for this generous gift! Congratulations to whoever gets this!
Very pretty carousel ensemble.
In the Occasions catalog I like the Window Box Thinlits dies.
I’m a pretty paper lover too! The Cupcakes and Carousels Designer Series Paper Pack looks like a must have! So many cute things in the Occasions Catalog but one of my favorites is the Moon Baby set. Lots of baby showers ahead in the next year in our church so I’m sure I would put it to good use. Thanks for the chance to win this great giveaway.
Timeless Tags thinlets dies or the High Tide stamps are my favorite products from the Occasions Catalogue! I know I am supposed to pick one but I just couldn’t decide between the two of these! They both speak to my heart for different reasons! Either would make me a very happy gal!
Cupcakes and Carousels is also a pretty great collection!
Thanks for the chance to win it! :-)
Awesome projects…love the paper and stamp set, and it is on my wish list! Thanks so much Stampin UP!!!
So many beautiful products to choose from! I really think Balloon Adventures would be wonderful to own! Thanks for a chance to win!
Excited to have won last month’s prize. Love the card and projects shown here. It is already on my wishlist. I looked through the catalog and I am loving the Happy Celebrations stamp set. The bold Happy will stand out on any card.
Very pretty! And how can I choose from the catalogue? Maybe Lift Me Up or Big Birthday?…..
That is genius–a cupcake ferris wheel!
Being a lighthouse lover, High Tide Is my favorite, followed by Cool Treats. Both fit perfectly with our activities on our annual summer trips to Cape Cod.
Love the beautiful carousel horse. Love stampin up.
I absolutely love the Dragonfly dies. They are so beautiful for both card making & scrapbooking.
Ooooh I adore that carousel horse! What an amazing card, and amazing stamps.
I am a sucker for good sentiments so I like the “Sending Thoughts” stamp set. Thank you for the giveaway!
All the birthday sets are great, especially Birthday Blast, and I love Little Cuties, Moon Babies, the succulent set, just for starters!
Love the papers and stamp set!
So many beautiful bundles to choose from, I choose the Lift Me Up bundle. Thanks for the chance to win.
What a hard decision!! I like the Birthday Blast because I can see using it a lot. Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
What a sweet collection. We will be getting a carousel in our town soon – this will be a perfect prize to win.
Gorgeous products…and I agree, these papers are beautiful! Thanks for sharing your wonderful card design.
Wow, the catalogue is filled with such a diverse collection of amazing stamps! I especially like “Big on birthdays” and the tye-die patterns look super cool as well!
Your projects are so sweet! I love the Custom Tee set from the Occasions Catalog! Thanks for a chance to win!
Love all of the fantastic new products–especially Beautiful You and the tag bundle! It’s like Christmas all over again!

Too hard to choose one favourite! I love Oh So Succulent, Chase Your DreamS, and Cool Treats!
OH, I just love so much! My favorite, I think, is the wonderful Lift Me Up stamp set and Up & Away Dies! They have me on cloud 9!!! :D Thanks so much for all the gorgeous inspiration and awesome giveaway! That cupcake ferris wheel is scrumptious!!! xoxo
Oh I love your carousel projects!
Mercedes, your creations are wonderful!! Thank you for sharing!! I am so in love with the “Cupcake and Carousel” paper. I agree…it is a “MUST HAVE!!”

My wish list is long, my favorite at this moment is Dragonfly Dreams. Super fun birthday themed creations Mercedes!
Wow. Everything in the catalog is fantastic! I’m definitely not able to select a single favorite. The two that I would get first would be: Sending Lovely and Cool Treats.
Mercedes,
I’m agree with you, this DSP is truly inspiring and different from what Stampin’up! usually proposes.
And these lovely assorted stamps are so cute!. I think I will used this paper completely to make a mini album…
Love this article and all of the ideas, great products, thanks for the chance to win, what a great way to start off the new year that would be.
Oh my! That was tough trying to decide on a favorite when I love it all! I love the birthday series and love the birthday blast and the pop-up birthday die! The Cupcake & Carousels Designer Series is awesome! Thank you for offering such a great giveaway!
