Earlier this month my Flowerbug's Team held a Fall Sampler swap. We each created one element and made multiples of it for everyone in the swap. These swaps are super fun to make! The only rule we have is that everything is current Stampin' Up! product and the colors coordinate with the Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper.
Isn't it amazing!? We had enough people to make two! I'll share the other one tomorrow.
I adhered each piece on a 12" sheet of the In Good Taste designer series paper. This texture style paper is on sale right now in October! But there's just two days left to get it! Go here to order yours.
Don't miss out! Get that designer paper (on sale) and any other Annual Catalog products, Online Exclusives AND pre-paid Paper Pumpkin subscriptions too! #BestDealEver
Today's project is one I made for two reasons. One was to feature the Delightfully Eclectic designer paper in my weekly Live video and the other was for my Flowerbug's Team monthly card swap.
You might wonder where I got these shapes & flowers. Well they are both from a sheet in the Delightfully Eclectic designer paper seen here. Here's what the full sheet looks like:
My card base is the beautiful new Bubble Bath pink. I added a layer of Garden Green 3 7/8" C 2 5/8". That is added to a Scalloped Contours die-cut measuring 4 1/2" X 3 1/8".
The greeting is heat embossed in White powder on a strip of Garden Green. Then I cut it into a 1/2" strip and used one of the punches to get that cute greeting shape.
How? Well the card base starts out at 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2". Then you cut off one end at the 3 1/4" mark. This piece is then flipped and is the front panel. So smart!
The Delightfully Eclectic designer paper seen here is also used well on this card layout. This versatile designer paper is on sale now and is the best deal on DSP we have! You get 48 12" X 12" sheets for $25.50 in June.
The navy layer is 4" X 3"; perfect size to max out your 12" designer paper if making more than one. And the vertical 'yellow' piece is 2" X 4" which is a wonderful size for either 12" DSP or 6" DSP.
I made over 20 of these for a swap so it helped me save on designer paper.
I used the Kindest Expressions stamp set seen here for the greeting. The pretty flowers – different on each card – are from the Paper Florist dies seen here.
I LOVE the colors – Black, Smoky Slate, White and Crushed Curry. This fun fold looks complicated but it's super easy!
Start out with a gatefold card, then you need a Black cardstock square and die-cut a square from the center. Adhere the frame on one side and the solid square to the other.
It's fun to play with too. We stamped the bottle, glass and spatter using Versamark ink onto the front of the card base. Then added two strips of textured Crushed Curry card stock to each side.
The beer glass and mug were stamped in Smoky Slate and Crushed Curry. Measurements and video can be seen below.
Measurements: • Smoky Slate card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 2 3/4" from each end plus a strip for greeting • Crushed Curry 2 pieces 2 3/4" X 1 1/2" • Black 3 3/4" square; die-cut a square from the center; use both frame and inside square • White inside 4 3/4" X 3 1/2", scraps for beer & foam
