Another version of my 1 sheet box & cards; featuring the Softly Sophisticated DSP

March 6, 2024

Today I'm sharing the second version of my 1 sheet box & cards. I shared the other one on Monday; See it here.

These projects feature the Softly Sophisticated designer paper from our recent Sale-a-Bration promotion. Sadly SAB is over so it's not available anymore. You can easily substitute your favorite designer paper instead.

Please watch the video tutorial below to see how to make this box. I used the crinkled Pool Party ribbon from SAB to close it and the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp & punch bundle on these projects.

I decided to attach the ribbon on this box instead of leaving it loose. I used Tear & Tape and adhered it to the back, upper flap and half of the front. I tied the tag to the ribbon with twine so it's easy to tie together again.

Here's the template you can save. It's also included in the free project sheet below too.

Here are both of my 1 sheet boxes; which is your favorite?

Next I'll share the individual cards with the measurements. Each one is a special but easy fun fold layout. I used just one stamp set on these cards – the Heartfelt Hexagon set. The coordinating Hexagon punch is unavailable right now; it's out of stock but will be back in April.

Note the decorated envelopes to match! Doing this makes your projects extra special and uses up your designer paper stash too.

This card is a new take on a book-binding card fold. It has just one extra layer of card stock to make it a new fold.

Measurements: Calypso Coral card 11" X 4 1/4" score at 2 1/8", 4 1/4" & 5 1/2". 2nd piece is 3 1/4" X 4", White inside 2" X 4". DSP – large panel is 3" X 4", 1" X 4" & 2" X 4"

Save

I love this card fold! It used the trimmed off layer from the card base as the front panel.

Measurements: Pebbled Path – 11" X 4 1/4" score at 5 1/2"; cut off one end at 2 3/4". DSP 1 piece at 2" X 4", 2nd piece at 4" X 3"

Save

This card shows off both sides of your designer paper since the DSP is actually the front of your card base.

Measurements: Pool Party is 5 1/4" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4". DSP – 1 piece at 3/4" X 5 1/2", 1 piece at 4" X 5 1/2". Wild Wheat strip 4" X 1"

Corner Bouquet Triple Panel card & a tour of my studio & new catalog launch video

January 7, 2021

Tuesday I held my new 2021 New Catalog Launch party and shared a virtual tour of my studio and Sale-a-Bration & Spring project displays. I did have a little issue with a catch in my throat at the end but most of it's good. Ha!

Below is a fun card showing you a way to use a large stamped image. You can do it two different ways:

Stamp first and then cut into three strips. Or cut into strips, arrange together and stamp all at once. This is what I did using my Stamparatus so I could re-stamp a few times for a nice dark image. I've sure been using my Stamparatus a lot lately. Do you have one? It's so helpful!

Save

After I stamped the main image I let it dry a bit and then ran all three strips through the die-cutting machine to add texture. I used a brand new 3D embossing folder called Painted Texture.

These colors are Purple Posy, Night of Navy & Coastal Cabana. I was inspired to combine these colors by one of our designer paper packs in the Annual Catalog called Playing with Patterns.

The greeting is from the Enjoy the Moment stamp set in the new 2021 Spring Catalog.

True Love Designer Paper; GORGEOUS!

January 6, 2021

The True Love Designer paper is my very favorite designer paper in the 2021 Spring Catalog; it has gorgeous Black & White patterns. I have always found Black & White paper to be the easiest to work with since I can add almost any color I want to set it off. Bright or soft colors all work wonderfully!

I made this card for another online swap a few weeks ago. I just love the easy layout and how it makes the best use of both the Designer paper AND your card stock.

Save

Products used:

Black, White & Magenta Madness CS, True Love DSP, Black ink, Black glittered ribbon, Sweet Ice Cream stamp set , Treasured Tags pick a punch for White CS strip, Matte Black dots

Since Stampin' Up! had to stop offering their Whisper White card stock (manufacturer went out of business) we now have Basic White products. And they're all available again! Yay! Check out this flyer here. Download BASIC-WHITE-ANNOUNCEMENT-FLYER_US

Paper saving tip:

With this layout you can get sixteen 3" square pieces from a 12" sheet of DSP; or 4 pieces from a 6 X 6" piece.

You can get 5 pieces of the main colored layer from a sheet of 8 1/2" X 11" card stock. The cutting template for this is below; I love to use it for my inside layer especially.

Are you enjoying these sneak peaks from the new 2021 Stampin' Up! Spring & Sale-a-Bration catalogs? It's always fun to play with brand new products. Today I'm playing with new 2021 Sale-a-Bration (or SAB) items.

The Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper is full of flowers and fun color combos! I decided to use my Stitched Rectangle dies to create this layered effect. If you want to watch a video on how to do this click here.

Save

I used the third smallest and the third largest die in the Stitched Rectangles set. It looks like I wasted a ton of paper but the entire card is made with one piece of DSP measuring 5 1/4" X 4". It's so cool!

Navy layers are:
- Main card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
- Smallest rectangle is 3 3/8" X 2", middle is 4 1/2" X 3 1/8"
You might wonder what I used for the greeting. The White piece is a new die from the Potted Succulent dies seen here. The Rococo Rose layers are punched pieces; 2 of them. I used a 1" X 3 3/4" strip and the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch for the ends. The center piece is the Story Label punch. The pearls on the label are the NEW Pastel Pearls on page 19 of the new Spring Catalog seen here.

Save

Thanks for stopping in today; stay tuned for more projects tomorrow!
