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.

    I am loving this Vertical slider fun fold design!  I've made two so far and I can easily see me making more.  

    It basically a gatefold card but the additional layer holds it closed. 

    Scottie dog swap Save

    I chose quite unique colors for the Scottie dog.  Think of it as a stuffed animal; ha!  The colors include Pool Party, Petal Pink and Pumpkin Pie.  I wanted to use the Metallic & Shimmer 6 X 6" DSP; I think it's perfect for a celebratory card with the shimmer & dots.  

    The Scottie Dog punch is 30% off starting December 1st; instead of $19, it will be $13.30!  

    For the inside I used the ribbon image from the Christmas Scottie stamp set and the greeting is from Charming Sentiments.

    The main element comes off when you open the card; plus it slides up and down too.   It consists of three 2 1/4" circles.  2 are scored in half and adhered to the back of the main element.  Then the last one is adhered over both folded circles.

    What do you think?  Do the colors work for you?

  • Leaves of Holly card with a gift card option & video

    We made this pretty Christmas card at my November Card Clubs.  It features the Leaves of Holly bundle seen here. 

    Leaves of Holly Nov Save

    I chose these colors – Evening Evergreen, Real Red, White & Soft Succulent.  I sure love the dies in this set; the greeting label with the attached holly leaves is special. 

    *Unfortunately the Holly Berry dies are unavailable right now; they expect they'll be back in stock around December 19th.  

    LEAVES OF HOLLY BUNDLE (ENGLISH) Save

    I think this is a classic Christmas bundle you'd find yourself using often.  It's retiring on December 1st and while supplies last. 

    I gave my gals a choice of 'berry' options.  On the left card below we added two die-cuts from the bundle.  On the right card we added a Textural Element that is colored with Blends markers.  It was almost a tie on which option they chose.  

    Leaves of Holly Nov Save

    I stamped the two more open leave images 2-3 times each in the two green colors and added the greeting element over them.  You can see how in the video below.  It's actually an easy card to make. 

    Leaves of Holly Nov Save

    If you want to add an easy gift card option to any card simply add a strip of DSP across the bottom of the inside. Punch the center with any circle or decorative punch and aAttach it with glue on the outer and lower edges only.

  • ‘Ornament’ Christmas cards for quick & easy card making!

    We're making ornament cards on tonight's Stamp with Me Live.  It's a quick & easy idea for your Christmas cards!

    Ornament cards Save

    The designer paper is the Santa Express seen here.  It's filled with lots of great patterns; not just Santas & trains.  

    Join me here Live at 7:30 pm CT.  The video will be on my YouTube channel by Tuesday, November 29th too. 

    I chose an 'easy' card so those who feel rushed in getting their Christmas cards made. Plus these cards use your DSP and an embossing folder too; both make a card special. 
     
    I added a Wonderful Snowflake to the designer paper circle for a quick, beautiful iridescent element.  These snowflakes will be well discounted on Thursday with the Last Chance List seen here: Download 2022 Holiday Catalog Last Chance
     
    The greeting is from the Joyful Flurry stamp set. 
     
    Join me here when I share some tips on making these fun and easy cards tonight. 
     
    Gather these supplies:
    • Card bases 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    • White or neutral background layer 3 3/4" X 5", will be textured
    • Another layer 4" X 5 1/4"
    • 'ornament' circles cut from DSP – mine are almost 3" around
    • Silver or gold paper (or other) for the top of the ornament
    • Twine or thin ribbon
    Other items: Greeting stamps, ink, embossing folder, snowflakes
     
    I made one card into an easy fun fold by folding the front of the card base back on itself. For this one I chose to add greetings from the Holly Jolly Wishes stamp set.

    The card base is Mint Macaron with White & Poppy Parade accents.
