Use your nesting dies to create a designer paper window – video & free project sheet


On last week's Live video I shared a neat way to use nesting dies to create a frame with your double sided designer series paper. 

I chose to feature the Thoughtful Moments DSP with this neat technique. Simply choose two dies that are the same shape and about 1/4-1/2" apart.  Die-cut and then flip over the narrow frame to reveal the opposite side of the Designer Series Paper. It's so neat! 

**This Designer Paper and many more will be on sale starting Tuesday, August 6th! Details will be shared tomorrow. 

The leaf die is from the Friends for Life dies. My nesting dies are called Countryside Corners and can be seen here.

Tip – be sure the color of the opposite side of your paper coordinates with the front. I chose the card base to match the frame – Pretty Peacock. My greeting is in Fresh Freesia. 

Here are both cards shown on the video; the second card on the right has a Lost Lagoon frame & card base.  The White die-cut on the right card is from the Thoughtful Wishes bundle.

Here's the free project sheet you can download or print: Download Thoughtful Journey Window card

The designer paper for these cards is 4" X 5 1/4" which leaves a 2" strip for another project.  I wanted to share a quick card to use up that leftover piece:

I simply added it to the card base with a coordinating card stock strip on the edge. Then added layering circles for my greeting.

If you're wondering about the ribbon, it's the pretty Iridescent 1/2" striped trim seen here.  I cut it in half to get 1/4" thick trim. It has been unavailable for awhile but it's back now.

Here are all 4 cards I shared in the video you can see here. 

Here's the video below to see how this is done plus another card idea with the beautiful Thoughtful Journey designer paper.  I'll share the second card Wednesday.

  • Terrific Toadstools fancy fold card


    Today I'm sharing a fabulous fancy fold card Lori made for our Team Sale-a-Bration card swap.  She used the Terrific Toadstools bundle. 

    It's a little deceptive but it is a fun fold card; one I haven't seen before too!  Her colors include Melon Mambo, Fresh Freesia, Early Espresso and Granny Apple Green.

    The Terrific Toadstools bundle from the Spring catalog coordinates with the Toadstool Gardens DSP from the Sale-a-Bration catalog. This DSP is free with any $60 purchase from Stampin' Up. 

    She used a bunch of NEW products; here's the list:

    • Terrific Toadstool bundle seen here
    • Toadstool Gardens 6 X 6" DSP from the  Sale-a-Bration catalog seen here
    • Spotlight on Nature dies seen here
    • Fresh Freesia seam binding ribbon (SAB catalog) seen here
    • Starstruck embossing folder on the upper flap (SAB catalog) seen here

     

    Below you can see the gatefold and the cute flap that folds down over the front.  She created an amazing card showcasing a ton of new products here! See measurements below. 

    Measurements:

    • Card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" from each side
    • DSP – 1 7/8" X 5 3/8" for front and inside
    • White inside 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
    • upper strip for flap 1" X 3" scored at 2"

    I'll share more team Sale-a-Bration swaps next week.

  • Corners in Bloom fun fold card


    I made this card for our monthly team swap using the Corners in Bloom stamp set. 

    I colored the flowers in with Blends markers in Melon Mambo, Peach Pie & Granny Apple Green. The pretty greeting and die-cut are from the Mixed Labels bundle seen here. 

    I added the new Bloom Impressions designer paper on the left side; a free choice with a $60 order during Sale-a-Bration.

    This pretty Corners in Bloom stamp set is also free during SAB (Sale-a-Bration) – with any $120 order.  There are lots of choices you can earn free through February 28th. 

    We haven't had many corner shaped stamps for a long time and now we have two!  I love the many options you have with these line art stamps. 

    My colors include Peach Pie with Melon Mambo & Black. This fun fold is called a 'Joy' fold where the two flaps overlap each other. It was perfect for this stamped frame.

  • Beautiful Butterflies with Mixed Florals swap card; free project sheet


    Here's one more pretty card I made for an online swap in December.  I just love the colors!  

    I used Petal Pink, Mossy Meadow & Poppy Parade; all taken from the Mixed Florals designer paper seen here.  It's from our newest Online Exclusives release. See all of the newest items here. 

    There's just something about this layout that I love.  It might be the balance of the vertical & horizontal layers along with the circle.  It just feels right. 

    The greeting and butterfly die-cut are from the new Beautiful Butterflies bundle seen here.  

    There's so many neat things about this new bundle – the wonderful greetings, the pretty Hybrid embossing folder that matches the butterfly die and the fact that there's a large butterfly die that creates a butterfly folded card front like the one below!
