Get multiple cards from one sheet of Designer Paper! Video & free project sheet too.

I shared these beautiful cards on a Live video a few weeks ago. I wanted to make the most of one of my favorite sheets of the Valley in Bloom designer series paper. It’s discounted through August!

You can get more cards than I show above but I mistakenly cut in the wrong place and missed out on more. This pack of Valley in Bloom DSP has many beautiful sheets in it. Get some while it’s on sale.

I recommend cutting the 12 X 12″ sheet into 6 pieces at 3 1/2″ X 4 3/4″. The two center pieces won’t have as much greenery on them but you could change the layout up a bit to reflect that.

My colors include Pretty Peacock with Old Olive & White. I used a variety of punches for my greetings; mostly from my stash of White elements.

The card bases are 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ scored at 2 1/8″ & 4 1/4″. I made sure the Olive layer was small enough that the White inside piece shows as an inside layer. You can see the free project sheet with measurements, photos and supplies when you click here.

I stamped the inside of the cards with the Lily of the Valley stamp set and colored the flowers in with a Blender pen. I love this bundle so much. You can see it here.

You can see the video for this card and one more below. Don’t forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel!

• Rings of Love Triple Panel card with video & measurements

  August 16, 2022

  ---

  Here's one more card I made during last week's FB Live with the free Rings of Love designer paper in our Sale-a-Bration offering.  

  

  I cut a 3 1/4" X 3" piece of the designer paper and then cut it into three 1" strips.  I then layered it onto three strips of Evening Evergreen CS. 

  I textured the Crumb Cake layer with the Timber embossing folder – it's also a new Free Sale-a-Bration choice in August; with any $50 Stampin' Up! order.   

  I love how the three panels create a 'scene', making the DSP the star of the card.  See the Rings of Love DSP here.

  

  Measurements: 

  • Poppy Parade 5 ½”X 8 ½”
  • White is 5 ¼” X 4”, Crumb Cake 5” X 3 ¾”
  • Evergreen is 5 1/8” X 3 7/8”, DSP is 1” X 3 ¼”
  • Evergreen strips are 1 1/8” X 3 3/8”

• Perched in a Tree Explosion card with video tutorial!

  August 15, 2022

  ---

  I can't stop using the Aspen dies!  I absolutely love this tree die-cut!  

  Did you know these dies are free during August with our Sale-a-Bration promotion?  Any $100 Stampin' Up! order and they're yours free! 

  

  I created this card on last week's FB Live video.  You can watch it here.  

  For the card front, I simply added a layer of the Rings of Love DSP behind it for a soft background.  You can keep it this simple or create your own background!  

  However I made the inside of the card extra special with an Explosion fold. These look so difficult to do but honestly they're not!  Please watch the video; afterwards you'll want to make one!

  

  The left card has the Rings of Love DSP and the card on the right features the Storybook Gnomes designer paper.  For greetings I used the Soft Seedlings & Perched in a Tree stamp sets.  

  

  I also shared an easy ribbon trick in the video; if you have trouble with bows I hope you watch.  

  

  Measurements: 

  • Card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
  • DSP – 3 7/8” X 5 1/8”, inside is 8” square
  • Greeting strip 1” X 4”
  • White 4” X 5 ¼” & inside is 3 ½” square
