Sentimental Park with Country Gingham DSP card swap


I always join a bunch of online swaps with each new catalog.  It's so much easier to make a bunch of one card than it is to make one of several different cards for my display boards.  

Here's one I made with the Sentimental Park bundle seen here.  


I chose to use the Country Gingham 6 X 6" designer paper pack; it has multiple gingham patterns in just a few colors.  I added White & Blushing Bride to it.  

Notice that pretty white die-cut for the greeting; it has attached floral design on opposing corners for some pretty detail. There are two sizes of this type of die in this bundle and one without the side details.  This one fits inside the largest one; the floral detail has slits on the inside to allow the smooth die-cut to fit right in!  

The Blushing Bride oval is from the Framed Florets dies. The pretty texture on the White banner is done with the Cane Weave 3D embossing folder seen here; also new in the Spring catalog.  

My measurements are simple:

  • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
  • DSP 2" X 4"
  • White banner strip 1 1/4" X 5"

Notice the alternate print I used on some of the swaps below; I love having a few choices in similar patterns.  

I'll share some photos of my new catalog party from Saturday later this week.  Stop back in!

  • Angled Gate-Fold card with a latch closure; template & video tutorial


    I shared these cards last night on my Monday night Stamp with Me Live.  They're called Angled Gate-Fold cards.

    These first two cards feature the Painted Christmas designer paper, the Thinking, Thanks & Peace stamp set & Seasonal Label dies. The large greeting die-cut was cut smaller by cutting once and reinserting it to trim off a bit. (shared in the video) 

     

    On this card I added dimensionals to only the very left side of the greeting so it could work as a 'latch'.  The right side flap slips between the left side and the die-cut greeting to keep the card closed flat.  *Watch the video below to see how it's done.

    I created an easy template for both the card base and the additional designer paper layer.  

    One important thing to note about the template below for the DSP layer is to be sure to check the direction & side you prefer before trimming off the angles.  You can use this template for both sides; just trim off the opposite edge. 

    I'll share the other two cards I made on Thursday; they're totally different!
