A fun way to use your Designer Paper scraps!

Is it hard for you to toss those small pieces of designer paper pieces? Well, if you’re a ‘saver’ I have a quick card idea for you.

Here I used the pretty Velvet Meadow specialty designer paper from our Online store. It has velvet/flocked accents that feel soft and fuzzy. See it here.

Unfortunately it’s currently out of stock but it will be back! Add your email to the product page so you’re notified when it’s available.

I cut three different patterns of DSP in 1/2″ wide strips. I added them to a piece of Peaceful Pine card stock (3″ X 4 3/4″) at an angle. I left a narrow space between them all and trimmed off the ends afterwards. Then I layered it on another Peaceful Pine piece slightly larger before adding it to my Bubble Bath card base.

Tip: Adding the designer paper layer on the left and adding the greeting strip hanging off on the right adds balance to the card.

Here’s the coordinating Flowering Meadow bundle; see it here.

The greeting is made with the Scalloped Blooms dies. The flower and leaves are fussy cut from the designer paper. A quick and pretty card!

• Life is Beautiful meets Snowflake Splendor for a beautiful winter card

  October 22, 2020

  I created this card for a recent FB Live.  I was asked to share ideas and samples with my Life is Beautiful stamp set for a private Demonstrator only Facebook group.  What an honor it is to be asked!  

  Here's one of the cards I made.  I'll share more next week!

  

  I stamped directly onto pieces of the Snowflake Splendor designer paper.  Did you know it's on sale this month?  Check out all 15 packs of paper on sale here.

• Snowflake Wishes Fun Fold card; easy but beautiful!

  October 21, 2020

  Here's another pretty fun fold card with the Snowflake Wishes suite of products.  Marilyn made this beauty. 

  

  It's a side fold card which is super easy to do!

  She used the Stitched Rectangle dies for her front layers, the Snowflake Splendor designer paper on the left and the Snowflake Wishes bundle for the stamps & die-cuts.   Note the pretty Glimmer snowflake!  Our Balmy Blue Glimmer paper is gorgeous! 

  She used Pacific Point ink on the greeting and the faint snowflakes in the background were done by stamping off a few times to get a lighter hue. 

  Measurements: 

  • Balmy Blue 4 1/4" X 8 1/4" scored at 5 1/2", stitched rectangle die-cut is 3" X 4 1/4"
  • Whisper White inside 4" X 5 1/4", stitched rectangle die-cut is 2 5/8" X 4"
  • Snowflake Splendor DSP 2 1/2" X 4"

• Snowflake Wishes Fun Fold card; WOW!

  Look at this amazing fun fold card Tracey made for our Flowerbug's Team swap last month.  Incredibly beautiful! 

  

  This card is over the top gorgeous!  The Navy snowflakes are die-cut with the Snowflake Wishes bundle here and she also used the Snowflake Splendor designer paper here; it's on sale this month!!

  This fancy fold card is for those crafters who don't mind scoring and cutting with multiple measurements!  You can see her template below and one I found online to show scoring areas.  

  Here's the inside view: 

  

  • The Navy greeting piece is 3/4" X 4 1/8".
  • The center DSP is 4 1/4" X 2", the center Navy is 2 1/8" X 4 3/8"
  • The DSP side pieces are 3/4" X 4 1/4", the Navy side pieces are 7/8" X 4 3/8" 

  

  Here is her template.  It's called a Center Step card and measures 4 1/4" X 11". 

  Outside score lines are at 1", 2" and 6 1/2". The center score line is at 5 1/2" .
