Unique ideas with the Oh So Ombre designer paper; Promo ends Sunday!

Here are a few more ideas with the gorgeous Oh So Ombre designer paper.  It has been my favorite Sale-a-Bration item this year!  

Playing with strips has always been fun for me.  On this first card I started with one sheet of DSP and cut it first at 4 1/2" long.  Then I cut strips off of the main piece at random angles.

Next I laid these strips on my grid paper and stamped the leaves from Forever Fern stamp set on them using Granny Apple Green ink.  

I then glued these strips to a 3 3/4" X 5" piece of White CS leaving a thin 1/16" gap between.  I didn't worry about the edges at all.  After I was done I trimmed them off even with the main White CS.

Next is a fun card playing with the Playful Alphabet and 1/2" strips of this pretty Ombre paper.  I adhered the letters to the end of the paper strip with rolled up mini glue dots and trimmed any excess off that showed around the letter.

The 'birthday' greeting is from Vine Design and the bottom edge is punched with the Postage Punch.  

Below are more cards I shared in a video you can see here.

  • 2 fabulous cards with the Hand-Penned Designer Paper

    I have two pretty cards to share with you today; both from my Flowerbug Team swaps in June.  Both are made with the Hand-Penned DSP which is on sale right now.  Instead of $11.50 it's just $9.78.  See the sale on all 9 packs of Designer Paper here. 

    First is a card by Marilyn.  She made a corner latch card.  I've shared a few of those in the past weeks; it's a fabulous and super simple but special fold anyone can make.  Below are the measurements. 

    June Marilyn Save

    She made it even more special by adding a 'stitched' corner to hers.  She used a few sets of dies here; the Triangle and Pierced Bloom dies all in the Annual Catalog.  The greeting is from the In Bloom stamp set.  

    Measurements: 

    • Card base 4 1/4" X 11", scored at 5 1/2". Trim off 2 3/4" from one end & save.
      DSP – 2 pieces at 2 1/2" X 4"
      Corner is 2 1/4" square; cut in half on the diagonal
      White inside is 3" X 4 1/4"

    Next is a card Karen made using Misty Moonlight and our new In Color Shimmer vellum.   

    June Marilyn Save

    She used the Penned Flower dies for the flowers and the Scalloped Contours dies for the scalloped White greeting.  Her card really shows off this pretty patterned paper!

  • Triple Pane Bamboo Beauty with a masked moon

    Two-toned cards can be especially striking and I think this Bamboo Beauty card done in greens proves the point.

    I used just one color of ink here; Old Olive however the card base is Mossy Meadow.  I did stamp off once before stamping some of the images. I made this card in a recent FB Live video.  You can see it here.  Or scroll down to view it on my blog below. 

    I started with a 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" piece of White CS.  I placed a post-it note mask made with a 1 3/4" circle on it for the moon before sponging and stamping.  It's really quite easy to do (see in the video)!

    Afterwards I trimmed the stamped White CS into three pieces measuring 1 9/16th" wide. The tag is made with the Tailor Made Tags dies.

    What do you think?  I know some people aren't into bamboo or this Asian style but it's so my style!  I call this type of set a 'scene builder' which inspires me to use techniques to create unique backgrounds.

    I'm focusing on this card today.  The colors are Misty Moonlight, Black & White with a touch of purple.  I used Fresh Freesia on the upper left card and Highland Heather on the right. I used our Blending Brushes for the background, black twine from the Essentials pack and a greeting label from the Messages die.
