Fun way to use paper strips! Live video tonight!


We made these cards on FB Live Monday night.  What a fun and easy way to use up your extra designer paper pieces! Click here to watch the video. 

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. 
  • Add a greeting and accents if desired. 

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.  

Below is the video for you:

  • Positive Thoughts with Nature’s Thoughts dies; stamp once but get two layers!


    These pretty cards were made on one of my recent Facebook Live videos. See it here:

    The Positive Thoughts stamp set is easily a big favorite from the January – June Mini catalog. And now we have dies that coordinate with it called Nature's Thoughts; see them here. 

    I stamped both white layers at the same time; I believe this technique is called double (or triple) time stamping.  After stamping I sponged the edges and used the stitched rectangle die from the Nature's Thoughts set to cut out the top layer.  Next add it to the next layer before adding to your card.  Easy! 

    The colors here are Bermuda Bay and Gorgeous Grape.  See the detail on the dies here?  Gorgeous! 

    These colors are Blueberry Bushel with Bermuda Bay.  I also sponged the die-cut feathers and sponged those too.  That little butterfly is also from the Nature's Thoughts dies.  

    These dies are part of the Coordination Product Release available now; while supplies last.  Here's a link to the Positive Thoughts stamp set.

  • Sending Flowers Die creates a beautiful circle of flowers!


    We made this pretty card at my Flowerbug's Team meeting last month. It features the new Sending You Flowers die that's available in the Coordination Product Release.  You can see all 5 new items here:

    This unique die cuts out the center of your paper; not the outside.  It gives you a beautiful bouquet of flowers in a frame.  That cute greeting banner is also part of the die set. 

    Details:

    • The greeting is from the Timeless Tulips stamp set and is heat embossed in White embossing powder on Calypso Coral CS.
    • The ribbon is the 1/4" White crinkled ribbon colored with the Dark Pool Party Blends marker.
    • The flowers and stems are colored with Blends markers; they color so easily! 
    • That pretty designer paper behind the window is the Follow Your Art paper in the annual catalog on page 165.

  • Under My Umbrella Bridge fold card with video


    This card was a big hit at my Card Clubs in February.  It's a bridge fold card featuring the Under My Umbrella bundle.  See it here. 

    To create this card you'll cut your base card short and add another short piece at the bottom. The Daffodil and Balmy Blue layers 'bridge' the base layers.  Really cool.  And I was able to die-cut the Balmy Blue scalloped rectangle from the leftover piece from the middle.  I love using my card stock so perfectly.  *See measurements below.

    The Under My Umbrella stamps and punch bundle is just $30.50 for both! It has so MANY cute images and wonderful greetings.  I just love it! We stamped the images in Basic Gray ink and colored them in with Blends markers 


    The striped and raindrops designer paper is from the Pleased as Punch paper; available while supplies last now with the Coordination Product Release special.  You can see it here.  It's so bright and springlike! 

     


    Measurements:

    • Balmy Blue 4 1/4" X 6 3/4" scored at 5 1/2", plus a second piece at 1 1/4" X 4 1/4" for the bottom
      White inside 3 X 4 1/4" and a scrap for greeting punch
      Daffodil Delight 3 1/4" X 4 1/2"
      Balmy Blue scalloped die-cut 3" X 4"
      Pleased as punch DSP 2 1/2" X 3 5/8" front, two strips 1" X 4" for top and bottom plus scrap for
      umbrella punch
