Quadrangle Cards Technique; a great use of your 6 X 6″ Designer Paper!

Check out this great template where you cut a 6 X 6" piece of Designer Paper into 4 pieces for 4 cards.  I also layered it with a 6 1/2" piece of card stock for easy borders!  Look!

I created the above cards with a sheet of the beautiful Plaid Tidings 6" DSP from the 2020 Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog.  I also used the Celebrate Sunflowers bundle and the two Daisy punches in the annual catalog.  Super easy cards! 

The colors are Mango Melody, Rich Razzleberry and Whisper White.  

Then I used a different sheet of the Plaid Tidings DSP on Facebook Live last week.  I LOVE Black & White with a pop of color so I added Magenta Madness and used the Zany Zebras stamp set seen here.

Aren't they fun?!  I wasn't sure if I wanted to add any pink to the zebras but I ended up loving it! I colored just a bit on the zebras with the Magenta Madness Blends marker.   

If you're wondering just where this stamp set is, you can find it in the Beginner's Brochure or click here to see it online. 

Below is my template for the Designer Paper.

Next you'll see how you can place the DSP pieces onto a piece of 6 1/2" square piece of card stock and get nice layers. 

You can see how I did it in the video below.  Remember I host 6 FB Live's a week.  Every Tuesday at 11 am CT and the 2nd & 4th Monday's at 7:30 pm.  Check them out here.   Just click on 'more' and then 'videos'.

Tip: If you have trouble measuring things I suggest that once you have a template for both the Designer Paper and the layered card stock piece you save one to reuse over and over again.

  • Masked Blending Technique; join me Live tonight!

    Happy New Year!!!

    ~~~

    Tonight I'm sharing the Masked Blending technique on FB Live.  It's at 7:30 pm here on FB.  It will also be shared on my YouTube channel afterwards.  

    Each month (usually on the last Monday) I host a 'Stamp with Me' Live on my FB page.  I post the project ahead of time so those who want to can prepare and create along with me.  

    Tonight we're playing with masking & blending brushes to create cards like these:

    I chose to use long post-it notes to 'mask' off the area I want to add color to.  I used Coastal Cabana ink and our Blending Brushes.  You can get an incredibly smooth look with these brushes.  I'll share my favorite tips on using them in the video.  

    The stamp sets are all new in either the upcoming Spring or Sale-a-Bration catalogs. These catalogs go live on January 5th. 

    The card below is made with the Beautifully Happy stamp set.  It's a 2-step set with 17 stamps in it.  It's free with a $100 order from January 5 – February 28th.

    My colors include Coastal Cabana, Gorgeous Grape & Fresh Freesia.

    I did stamp the large flower an extra time and fussy cut it so I could pop it up for added dimension.

    Yesterday I shared a card seen here made with these two new products and today I'm sharing another one.  I found it easy to create with the Petal Park bundle and the Kind & Sincere stamp set.  They're coming out in the upcoming 2023 Spring Catalog by Stampin' Up!. I love them both!

    Details:

    • I stamped the 'Thanks' greeting on the White panel before I textured it with the new Cane Weave 3D embossing folder.  
    • The flowers are stamped in Petal Pink and Night of Navy.  The leaves are fussy cut. 
    • The 'for everything' greeting is stamped and die-cut with the new Something Fancy dies
    • The Soft Sea Foam green card base is 4 1/4" X 11" and scored at 2 3/4" & 5 1/2"
    • The white panel is 4 1/4" X 2 3/4"; the Navy is 4 1/2" X 3". 
    • The Petal Pink layer is 2 1/2" X 4".  I used the outline leaf image to stamp a background using Petal Pink ink.

    I think I'll get a lot of use of the Kind & Sincere stamp set.  I love that you can create your own greetings by putting together the large cursive words with the smaller printed words.  So versatile!

    Here are the 22 swaps I made.  The two main colors are soft & fresh yet the addition of Navy brings it all together & makes it pop. I feel like Navy is slightly softer than Black, which is another of my favorite ways to add a depth of color.

    Thanks for reading up to this point; I hope you're excited about the upcoming Spring catalog.  It's filled with all kinds of fresh, new products!  

    **If you don't have a local demonstrator I'm happy to send you the new 2023 Spring & Sale-a-Bration catalogs for $5.  If you've ordered from me in the past year; I'll send them to you free.

  • Petal Park Sneak Peak from the Spring Catalog

    This week I've been sharing some of the cards I made for online swaps I joined.  I hope you're enjoying the sneak peaks! 

    Today I'm sharing a card made with a new stamp & punch bundle called Petal Park.  It includes a new flower trio punch from the Spring catalog. 

    Petal park blue Save

    I chose to use the new Regency Park 6 X 6" designer paper; that's where I got the color combination of Balmy Blue, Night of Navy and Mango Melody.  I love them together!  

    Measurements:

    • The card base is 7 1/2" X 5 1/2".  (I cut off 1" from a traditional 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" card base)
    • The designer paper is 1" X 5 1/4" on the inside right edge.  
    • white panel is 2 3/4" X 3 3/4"
    • Navy is 3" X 4" and the Mango strip is 1" X 4".  
    • The slanted die-cut greeting is from the Something Fancy dies

    In the stamp set there are two sets of flowers – solid and outline.  Plus two sets of leave images as well; outline and solid.  I used both of the flower images, stamping them in Mango Melody & Balmy Blue.  Then just the outline leaves for a lighter background.  I did add some of the small dots in Mango all over the flowers & leaves.

    I curled the petals after punching so they had a bit more dimension to them.  I added pearls to the centers.  

    The greetings are from another new stamp set called Kind & Sincere.  It has both large and small greetings so you can mix & match your words.  I love this one!
