I used the Pattern Party designer paper for these cards. It's a host choice in the back of the annual catalog seen here. One side is Black & White and the other is colorful prints. I love the black & white patterns with a pop of color!
Tips:
I start out with a 2 1/4" X 4 3/4" piece of neutral CS. This is what I adhered the strips of Designer Paper to.
I added Seal adhesive over the entire piece and added the strips one by one.
Apply one strip across the middle at an angle first. Then keep filling in.
I trimmed the excess off the edges once I had it well covered with strips.
My DSP strips measure between 1/4" and 5/8" wide and about 3" long. It doesn't matter how wide your strips are; it looks great if they're different widths.
Add dimensionals to the back of this piece for added dimension.
You might wonder where this greeting is from. It's an upcoming Sale-a-Bration stamp set called 'Hello Friend'. It's in a bundle with a pack of Designer Paper. It will be free with a $100 purchase during SAB in January & February. Of course Demo's can earn it free now during our pre-order period.
The other new items here is a punch. Can you spot it? It's called the bough punch and has two options in the punch. The large leaf and the 'buds' too.
If you haven’t watched my recent videos you may not know that we have moved from Minot, ND to Bismarck, ND this month. It’s been a super busy time of downsizing, selling excess, packing and moving.
Why did we move? Well, there are many reasons but mostly my husband retired and we moved to be closer to our son and other family. It was very difficult to leave our beautiful home but we will love our new home too. Here’s a picture of my office/craft room before I was able to unpack. I’ll share new photos once I’m settled.
In that back doorway is a walk in closet; that will help with storage! I did find a nice L shaped desk and hope to get that set up today; then I can really set up my room.
This is why I’ve been missing in action lately; it’s hard to do both stamping/business and moving/getting settled. So I’m taking a bit of a break in August. Have patience with me; I’ll be back to blogging and videos soon!
My colors here are White with Hydrangea Hue and Granny Apple Green. I colored the Lily of the Valley die-cuts with both Blends markers and tried the new Shimmer Brushes too. The gorgeous textured layers are made with the Floral Spray 3D embossing folder; it’s back in stock now!See it here.
Look closely at the layers in my photo above and note how the upper left piece tucks under the right lower piece. That’s why it’s called a crossover fold; it actually locks together to lay mostly flat. You can see how it’s made in the video below.
