Fabulous Friday: Garden Galore DSP birthday card

 
   Happy Friday and thanks so much for checking in today!  This week we are featuring Designer Series Paper (DSP) in our Fabulous Friday projects over on the Sisters in Stamping blog.  There are so many beautiful designs to choose from and I finally decided on the Garden Galore DSP.  This DSP stack is sold in 6" x 6" sheets and it is so pretty and summer-y!  I paired it with the sentiment from the Beautiful Day stamp set for a clean and simple card that really showcases the gorgeous DSP.  I used three 5-1/4" x 1-1/4" strips that were easy to mix-and-match because all of the designs in Stampin' Up! DSP packs always coordinate beautifully!  My card colors were pulled from those in the designs: pacific point (base card), melon mambo (ink) and so saffron (sentiment mat).

 

  To add a little something extra to the sentiment panel I hand-cut a little flower from one of the designer papers and popped it up with a mini dimensional.  I also added a few rhinestone jewels for some bling. 

  

  Not forgetting the inside of the card, I cut a narrow strip of DSP and added it to the whisper white card stock panel.

 

  
  Here is one more view of my card - I just love how this card turned out!  For even more DSP project ideas please hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to see what my fellow designers created for your inspiration.

Fabulous Friday: Monochromatic Designer Series Paper card

 

   Happy Friday!  It's hard to believe we are halfway through April already - where has this year gone?!?!  Have you completed your taxes?  I finally got mine done a few days ago.  Every year I say I am going to get started earlier and then life happens... is it like that for you, too?  So happy to have that task behind me now and on to more fun to-do's.  This week it is my turn to choose the theme for our Fabulous Friday projects over on the Sisters in Stamping blog and I asked my fellow designers to create projects featuring the Designer Series Paper (DSP) of their choice. 

 

  I decided to create a monochromatic card featuring the Tranquil Tide papers from the Fresh Florals DSP stack.  This stack is a great value - you get 40 sheets, 4 each of 2 double-sided designs, in the 5 new In Colors for 2017-2019 for $22.00.  And the designs are really pretty!  To make this card layout just cut 5 strips of any DSP 3-3/4" x 7/8" to fit on a card stock panel cut to 4" x 5-1/4".  That fits perfectly on a 4-1/4" x 5-1/2"  card.  The great thing about Stampin' Up! DSP is that the patterns/colors in each pack are perfectly coordinated so you can mix and match up the various patterns and have a great card every time!

 

 

  Here is a close-up of the focal panel.  I stamped the sentiment from the Ribbon of Courage stamp set on a scrap of whisper white card stock and then easily cut it out using the Pretty Label punch.  To make it stand out a little more against the card I matted it with Tranquil Tide card stock cut out with the 1-3/4" circle punch.  To finish it off, I added a few rhinestone jewel accents to add a little bling.  This panel added to the card front using stampin' dimensionals.  Easy-peasy! 

 

  And don't forget to add a small strip of DSP to the inside of the card to bring the beauty in.  Scraps work great for this!

 

 

   Here is another view of my card.  If you haven't had a chance to create quick and easy cards with DSP, I highly recommend you give this layout a try!  And for even more ideas and inspiration with DSP please be sure to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog  to check out what the other designers created this week.

Week 3 of my 12 Weeks of Quick & Easy Christmas Card Ideas for 2017

 

  Hi there!  Welcome to Week 3 of my 12 Weeks of Quick & Easy Christmas cards!!

  Here's another view of the card - you can see that I stamped the little Christmas tree inside the card as well.  This set has awesome sentiments that work great as the focal point of the card front rather than just for the inside of the card.  I will be sharing the quick & easy project sheet for this card with a supply list, dimensions and step-by-step instructions shortly in a newsletter.

Fabulous Friday: Silly Swirly Monster card

  Happy Friday!  So today's card is totally outside of my comfort zone, can you tell?  It's been a while since I needed to make a silly kid card but Jennifer asked us to do just that this week for our Fabulous Friday projects over on the Sisters in Stamping blog since today is National Mad Hatter Day!

  I don't really have any current kids sets any longer now that my kids are all teenagers so I really had to use some creative outside-of-the-box thinking by utilizing my Swirly Birds stamp set to create this silly monster face card.

Swirly Bird photopolymer set #141749 $25.00

Do you see which images I used?

 

  I am in love with this new lemon-lime twist In Color!!  It pairs so well with basic black for an elegant color combination and also with many of the Brights for a whimsical look.  I added a little silver sequin necklace along the bottom of the card because even silly monsters need some bling!

 

 Here's another view of my card.  For even more silly card inspiration please be sure to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog  to check out what the other designers created this week.

Fabulous Friday: Monochromatic card featuring the Color Theory Suite

 

  Happy Friday! This week Karla asked us to feature some of the new embellishments found on pages 196 - 197 of the Stampin' Up! annual catalog for our Fabulous Friday projects over on the Sisters in Stamping blog and I wanted to use the new Color Theory suite of products that I have.  This monochromatic card features the dapper denim ombre dsp from the Color Theory pack as well as the sentiment from the Colorful Seasons stamp set.  I opted to keep this card super simple and serene with just a few pops of bling with the carefully placed glitter enamel dots.  I really like the way my card turned out.

 

  Here's a close-up view of the glitter enamel dots on the card as well as the color selection that you get in the pack.  Aren't these fun?!

QE card: Botanical Blooms Stylized Birthday card

  Happy Tuesday!  This week I am sharing a quick and easy card that I created for my daughter Kelsey's birthday last week featuring the Botanical Blooms and Stylized Birthday stamp sets.  Sadly, the Botanical Blooms set is retiring.  The color combination I chose includes the Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Early Espresso, Garden Green and Whisper White and I added a lot of bling with rhinestone jewels.

  Here is another view of my card.  You can see the little flower that I stamped on the inside panel peeking out in this photo.  I always like to add a little something to the inside of my cards as well as the envelope.  I will be sharing my Quick & Easy project sheet for this week's card via a link in my newsletter.  Please make sure you're subscribed before Wednesday morning when it goes out to my subscribers.  You can easily add your email address in the subscriber box in the upper right section of my blog to have your name added to my distribution list.
