New Card Template to Try

 Hello friends!  I've been going through my stash of DSP trying to figure out what I can use up without having just bits and pieces left taking up space.  I landed on the Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper as the DSP for the cards I'm sharing today, and I played around with even more ideas which we'll get to at a later date.  Now just because I chose this paper which happens to be retired, it doesn't mean you can't use this idea on a multitude of other prints that are in your stash.  Use what you have!!!

First you need to have the dimensions used for this card making template.  It's very basic and so easy to work with once you have everything cut and ready to go.

Card base - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"      score at 4 1/4"

Inside layer - 4" x 5 1/4"

DSP layer - 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"  (note the length on this and the next two layers!)

Cardstock layer - 2 3/4" x 5 1/2"

DSP layer - 2 1/2" x 5 1/2"

Cardstock for sentiment layer - 2 3/4" x 2 1/4"   or 3" x 2 1/4"

White for sentiment layer - 2 3/4" x 2                 or 3" x 2"

This is your template that you'll be working with today.  For all my cards, I used the same color cardstock for each of the cardstock layers to keep a cohesive design look.  If you'd like to change them and use two different colors, that is totally up to you.  Now let's look at the cards and I'll give you the stamp sets used for the floral accent and the colors used on each design.

This is the first card made using this new template.  The first thing to notice is that the layers are the full length of the card, so the card has a tall sleek look to it.  The sentiment layer also extends to mimic the other layers.  It's just a slightly different look that I found appealing. 

The card base and the cardstock layering pieces for this first card is Strawberry Slush.  I like how it contrasts with the more geometric print layer that comes next.  Make sure your sides line up nicely to enhance the long look of the card.

The next layers on the card showcase the other side of the geometric print.  These flowers make a nice contrast.  Again, be careful lining up the layers to keep a symmetrical look.

The sentiment layers are 2 3/4" wide to match the Strawberry Slush layer under it.  The flower is from the Charming Day set and is stamped with Pecan Pie ink.  It's colored with Stampin' Blends:

Strawberry Slush light and dark, Pretty in Pink light and dark, Daffodil Delight dark, Pecan Pie dark, Call Me Clover light and dark, and the Color Lifter.

After coloring it's die-cut with the matching dies.  The leafy stem is from Charming Day also and die-cut from Garden Green scraps.

The sentiment was stamped with Pecan Pie ink.  Then the leaves were added to the design with adhesive.  And the flower was added with Dimensionals.

Dimensionals were also used to attach the sentiment layers onto the card front.

A final touch was adding several of the darker Strawberry Slush and Pretty in Pink Gems to the design.  

The next card needed two different pieces of the Floral Impressions DSP.  The center floral print was chosen first, then the Old Olive striped print was chosen as the accent piece.  After trying the different green an yellow cardstock colors to use for the card base, I decided that I liked the Lemon Lolly cardstock for the card base the best.  Again, all the layers are the full 5 1/2" long to keep the sleek look going.

When I got to the sentiment layer, I liked the wider overlapping look for this card.  This time the layers are 3" wide.  I'm sorry I didn't write down all the sentiment sets I used for these cards.  Just look for something that fits.  This time it was stamped with Garden Green ink.

The flowers are from the Gallery Blooms set. They were stamped with Pecan Pie ink on Basic White.  Coloring was done with Stampin' Blends:

Lemon Lolly light and dark, Daffodil Delight light and dark, Pecan Pie light and dark, Granny Apple Green dark, Old Olive light and dark, and a small touch of Call Me Clover dark

After coloring, the flowers were die-cut with the matching die in the Gallery Blooms set.  There were also three of the smaller leafy stems cut from Garden Green cardstock with another die from this set.

The flowers were attached to the sentiment layer with Dimensionals.  The extra leafy stems with tucked in around the flowers to fill it out.

The sentiment layers were attached to the card front flat this time using adhesive.  There were three Holographic Gems added to finish the design.  I loved how these gems pick up all the yellows and greens in the design.

For the last card design, I chose Daffodil Delight for the card base and cardstock layers.  The daisy-looking DSP print has the green print on the backside so that was an easy choice.

As you can see, the sentiment layers were cut at 3" wide again.  I really prefer that little bit of overlap.

I really struggled to find a floral accent to match the DSP print.  Surprisingly, the Lifetime of Love set had a darling little daisy spray that worked well.  And wonder of wonders, it is still a current set.  Yay.  You really have no idea how hard it is to only use current sets when finding card ideas to share with you.  I rarely get rid of my retired goodies that I really, really like, so I also tend to grab them when in a pinch.  Anyway...

Flowers were colored with Stampin' Blends:

Daffodil Delight light and dark, Lemon Lolly dark, Pecan Pie light and dark, Call Me Clover dark, and Old Olive light  

After coloring the flowers were die-cut with the matching die from the set.  The sentiments are also from the Lifetime of Love set.  The words were stamped with Garden Green ink.  The sentiment layers were attached flat to the card front using adhesive.  The flowers were attached with Dimensionals.  And some of the Holographic Gems were added to finish the design.

Okay, one last look at all three of the cards made with this easy template.  I hope you're inspired to use some of the gorgeous prints you've got sitting around collecting dust.  Oops, I didn't say that out loud, did I?  This one is too new to have collected very much dust yet.  But I know I've got lots of other DSP packs that are just patiently waiting for me to get around to designing with them.

Oh, I forgot to mention, each of the cards has a layer of Basic White inside for either a sentiment or a newsy note that is long overdue.  At the bottom of each one is a 3/4" strip of DSP that matches the front design.  That just makes such a lovely accent.

Using a Basic Template

Hello friends.  Today I've got a whole pile of cards to share with you.  It all started with a Basic Template using a piece of 6" x 6" DSP to cut all the main pieces.  My template I used is very basic and can be cut either way, depending on the direction of the print and what you want to do with it.  First, I want to show you a picture of the 5 cards that are made from one 6" x 6" piece.  Then we'll get into the cutting and details to make these cards.

The DSP that was used for these cards is maybe my favorite print in the Floral Charm DSP pack that is part of the Charming Day collection.  The roses are a pretty soft color with Night of Navy and Pretty Peacock leaves.  It's just yummy.   Of course, when I create with the other prints in the set, I fall in love with the other designs too.  Guess this DSP pack is definitely my favorite at this point!

Anyway, can you see how just a small amount of this print can go a long way?  It's so pretty even when you've only got a 1 1/2" x 3 1/2" piece!

Let's get to the Basic Template that I used.

Sorry, this isn't all fancy like other people can make it.  When I'm working out a design, I just make a sketch and add dimensions for it.  That's it.  But you can see exactly what you need and how to cut.  Want to give it a try?

The first card up is using the top left piece of the Basic Template.  This measures 3" x 3 1/2".  I decided to use Fresh Freesia for the card base even though that's not one of the colors that are recommended for this.  I just liked how it looked, so that was my choice.  

The DSP is framed with a piece of Night of Navy cardstock that measures 3 1/4" x 3 3/4".  It's attached to the base with Dimensionals.

The sentiment is from the Charming Day set and is stamped onto a Basic White circle using Night of Navy ink.  It is die-cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies.  It's backed with the next largest circle cut from Night of Navy cardstock.  The circles are attached together with adhesive.  Then they are added to the card with adhesive where they overlap the DSP and Dimensionals on the right side to keep it flat.

A sheer white ribbon with silver edges was cut in half and then both pieces were tied into a pretty bow.  A trio of Purple Fine Shimmer Gems in the plummy color were added to finish the design.

Next up is one of the two left side pieces of the Template that measure 1 1/2" x 3 1/2".  This time the card base is Bubble Bath.

A 2 1/4" x 4 1/4" piece of Berry Burst was cut for an accent.  About 1/2" was ripped from the right edge.  Then it was embossed with the Distressed Tile Embossing Folder to give it extra interest.  This was attached about 1/2" up from the bottom of the card using Tombow Liquid Glue (green glue).

Next a piece of Night of Navy was cut to frame the DSP.  This measures 1 3/4" x 3 3/4".  They are attached together with adhesive.  Then they're attached flat to the card base right over the Berry Burst layer.  I used "green glue" again for this layer.

The sentiment for this card is from the Unbounded Love set.  It's stamped with Night of Navy ink onto a circle cut from the smallest circle die in the Stylish Shapes Dies.  It's backed with the next largest circle from the same die set.  This is attached over the corner of the DSP using both adhesive and Dimensionals so it lays flat on the card.  

I happened to have a small open leaf die-cut leftover from a precious project that was in Shaded Spruce.  This was tucked in slightly under the Berry Burst layer for some added interest.

There are three gems from the 2021-2023 In Color Dots that are added to the card.  They were originally supposed to match with Moody Mauve, but I loved the look on this card.

This card uses the 2nd small piece of DSP from the left side of the template.  I'll confess, I had quite a time making this card and I'm not sure I got it right.  If anyone has any suggestions, I'm open to hearing them!

This card started with a lovely die-cut from the Charming Day set.  It's cut in Berry Burst so I thought it would go with this idea.  

The card has a base of Pretty Peacock cardstock.  The DSP has a layer of Night of Navy framing it that measures 3 3/3" x 1 3/4".  It's attached near the bottom of the card front using Dimensionals.

The berry die-cut has some Mini Dimensionals under some of the wider areas to give it lift.  Then part of one of the flowers is tucked under the DSP and some leaves are brought forward on the design.

The sentiment used here is from the Perfectly Pears stamp set.  The die used to cut the label is from the same set.  It's stamped with Night of Navy ink.  There are Mini Dimensionals behind this to elevate it to match the rest.

Three of the Pecan Pie & Clear Ribboned Adhesive-backed Dots are added to the design to finish it.

The fourth design features the piece of DSP from the top right of the Basic Template.  This piece measures 2 1/2" x 4".  The layering piece is Night of Navy cardstock that measures 2 5/8" x 4 1/8".  The pieces are attached with adhesive. 

The card base for this design is Bubble Bath cardstock.  The two layers are attached to this with Dimensionals.

There is a die-cut of Pretty Peacock leaves added to the bottom left corner.  It's attached with dots of "green glue" on some of the leaves to hold in place.   

There is an open rose die in the same set that was used to cut this Berry Burst rose.  It's attached over the leaves with several Mini Dimensionals.

The sentiment is from the Perfectly Pears stamp set.  It's stamped onto a small label that's cut from the same set.  After stamping, it's attached flat to the card front with adhesive.

There are three of the Pecan Pie & Clear Ribboned Adhesive-backed Dots added as a pretty accent.

This one might be my favorite card of the batch.  At least for now!

This is the last card of the batch.  It uses the DSP piece from the bottom right-hand corner.

The card base is Bubble Bath again.  There is a layer of Berry Burst that measures 5 1/4" x 4".    To add some interest to the layer, I used the Glass & Garden Embossing Folder for texture.  I like how subtle this is, but it does make a difference.

The sentiment is from the Sweet Blooms stamp set.  It's stamped with Night of Navy ink onto a 1 1/4" x 3" strip of Basic White cardstock.  It's framed with a layer of Night of Navy cardstock.

The DSP piece is layered with Night of Navy cardstock.  This piece and the sentiment label are positioned on the card front.  Both pieces are attached with Dimensionals.

There is another leafy sprig from the Charming Day set added here.  It's die-cut from Pretty Peacock cardstock.  It bridges the two pieces and is attached with adhesive under just a few leaves.

The last bits on the card are the Rhinestone Basic Jewels in clear.  I thought they were all that was needed.

Ok, you've now seen all five cards that were made from one 6" x 6" piece of the Floral Charm DSP.  It was challenging to stick with those five pieces and come up with cards I liked.  I found it quite fun to do, so I made another batch of cards using a different DSP.  I'm going to share the cards, but I won't be giving you the rundown of all the materials because I didn't write them down.  It would probably take me another couple of hours to figure that out, so you'll need to just use the cards as ideas to get your ideas flowing.  Let me know what you think of the Basic Template I made and the cards that came out of it.  I'd love to hear what you think.

All five cards from one piece.

Hope these ideas all inspired you to try out this template.  Or even make a template of your own to use.  I keep reminding myself that it's only paper and if I really, really hate it, it can go in the circular file and get recycled!

Have fun with these ideas.

Happy stamping and creating,

Stack, Cut & Shuffle Christmas

Hi all!  Are you enjoying some lovely autumn weather where you are?  It might not a perfect day here, but it's running a close second.  I just love it when the high heat dissipates, and the cooler weather comes stealing in.  Waking up to sunshine and cool temps is a real blessing!  Ok, let's get on with today's card.  When it comes to making huge numbers of Christmas cards, I'm always looking for a shortcut.  This Stack, Cut & Shuffle card technique let's you easily make 3 cards in the same amount of time as one.

As you can see, just because the cards are quick, does not mean they're boring.  And each pairing of DSP makes a different batch of cards.  These cards were made using the Walk in the Forest DSP that I used yesterday, but they have a totally different look to them.  Remember, the purchase of this DSP gives back to the community to help others.

Here's a close up of the card in the middle.  To make this batch of three cards, start with the choice of DSP that you want to use.  Like I mentioned, these are made using the Walk in the Forest DSP.  After choosing the DSP prints, choose which cardstock will you use for the base and layer.  I chose Basic White for the base (cut 8 1/2" x 5 1/2") and Pretty Peacock for the layer (cut at 5 1/4" x 4").

Then three designs were chosen from the DSP, and each was cut to 5" x 3 3/4".   Make sure you pay attention to any directional prints when doing this. Carefully stacking them up, two cuts were made through all of them together.  The first cut I made was the diagonal cut about 1" down from the top left to about 1" in from the bottom right.  The second cut is from the top right corner to the center of the part that is left.  This gives you three sections that are approximately 1/3 each.  I usually don't bother measuring these cuts.  As long as you hold all three pieces together when cutting, they will fit together when you shuffle them.

Taking the three top pieces, you lay out one piece each for three cards.  Go through the other two layers of cut DSP and add one to each new card until all the pieces are used and ready to put together.  At this point, start attaching the pieces to the Pretty Peacock layers.  I use "green glue" for this step, so you have a little wiggle time to get the pieces attached snuggly together along the seams.

After getting all the DSP pieces in place, the Peacock layer was attached to the Basic White card with adhesive.

The sentiment layers were die-cut using the Stylish Shapes circle dies.  The smaller one was Basic White, and the framing circle is Pretty Peacock.  After cutting the white circle, a sentiment from the Wishes All Around stamp set was stamped with Pretty Peacock ink.  The two circles were attached with adhesive.  This was attached to the card front using Dimensionals.

This is where I decided to use some retired products to dress it up.  Remember the White Velvet Specialty Paper we had last year?  I throught that would be a nice touch for the snowflakes.  The snowflake dies from the Wishes All Around set were used to cut three of them for each card.  They were attached with Mini Glue Dots.  An Iridescent Pearl was added to the center of each snowflake.

I also thought the retired Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon would add to the wintry look.  The bows each took about 8" to make.  They are attached with Mini Glue Dots also.

I had fun with the first batch of cards, so I changed up the DSP prints a bit and made another three cards.  These really don't take much time to make once you have your prints chosen.  In case you're wondering, the cuts were changed around on these so the largest corner piece was on the top right instead of the bottom left.  Like I said, I usually don't measure the cuts on this type of card.  As long as you hold the layers together carefully while cutting them, they will fit together nicely.

Enjoy making your own Stack, Cut & Shuffle cards and let me know how it turns out.  Just because I used a Christmas DSP doesn't mean you can't change it up to whatever you'd like.  I'd love to hear from you when you make your creations.  Thanks for sharing your time with me.  Check out the Online Store with all the Online Exclusives, Clearance Rack, Kit Store and all the other goodies.  There's always something new and exciting for you to try.  Happy shopping.  And please use the Host Code at the top of this post.  It's much appreciated.

Ideas for Using 6" x 6" DSP

Hello there!  We've had a small break in the heat, so we were doing outdoor work yesterday.  Can't imagine why I'm so sore today!  lol  But it was all necessary, and it looks so much better than before.  That makes it definitely worthwhile.  I need to start out by mentioning here about the Kits Sale going on now at Stampin' Up!  It started today and runs to the end of the month.  I really haven't paid attention to the percentage off on all the kits, but I know that some are 30% off.  Woo hoo!  What a bargain when you get everything needed to make your cards or projects and usually have some basic items left over too.  It's a great way to quickly make some of those cards you need.  There's even a couple kits with Christmas cards or tags so you can get a real jump on the season.  Ok, enough of that.  Let's get on with the stamping.

If you noticed the title of this post, you know we're starting with one 6" x 6" piece of DSP.  I'm using the Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper which is an Online Exclusive item to make these cards.  Make sure you check these all out when you're online placing an order.  More items are added often, and they are available until they are sold out.  So far, this DSP is still available, and I absolutely love it.  The print I chose to use is Soft Seafoam with leaves and stems printed on them in the same tone.  The print is more obvious in person.  But either way, it's such a soft and pretty color.  

Here are the other two cards that were made from the one sheet of paper.  I'll have the diagram to cut the Designer Paper farther down in the post.  Cutting it this way will utilize almost every single inch of this paper with only a tiny smidgeon left.

While you're looking around at the Online Exclusives, check on the Tropical Leaf stamp and punch.  As you can see, I kind of love these too!  They made creating these cards so easy.  And the tropical feel of them is perfect for these hot and steamy summer days.

Ok, this is the template for cutting your 6" x 6" DSP sheet.  For these cards to work properly, you need a print that is non-directional.  Think about using this template for easily making Christmas cards.  Or maybe a batch of birthday cards.  It all depends on which DSP you decide to use.

Let's start with the cuts.  Make your first cut 2" from the left side. Then cut off 3/4" from the bottom of this piece.  This gives you the piece for the first card.  Next cut off 2" from the top of the remaining piece.  That 4" x 2" piece will be on your second card.  The remaining 4" square piece is cut diagonally.  This will give you the pieces for both cards 3 and 4.

Each of the four cards started with a half sheet of Thick Basic White cardstock that was scored and folded in half.  The next step was to cut four pieces of Basic White cardstock measuring 4" x 5 1/4".  Each of the four pieces of DSP were attached to the four Basic White pieces using 'green glue'.  Make sure the DSP pieces come right out to the edges on the white layer.  

Next, strips of Lost Lagoon were cut at 1/4" wide.  One strip was attached to each white layer right next to the DSP layer using 'green glue'.  It's easier to cut the strips longer than needed, attach them, and then trim.  After attaching these strips, each layer was embossed with the Timeworn Type Embossing Folder to give it all over texture.  Then it was attached to the folded Thick Basic White card base.  'Green glue' was used for attaching this also.  

Now on to the leaves.  Both sizes of leaves were used.   The solid base of the leaves was stamped in Soft Seafoam ink on Basic White cardstock.  The veins in the leaves were stamped with Lost Lagoon ink.  The large leaves were punched with the coordinating punch, and the smaller ones were fussy cut.  These were set aside until the sentiments were ready.

Some of the Countryside Inn Dies were used to cut some Basic White labels.  There were several sentiment sets used including Hope & Prayer, and Courage & Faith.  Sorry I don't remember where the 'amazing' sentiment was taken from.  The sentiments are all stamped with Lost Lagoon ink.  

With all the pieces ready, the assembly started.  The larger leaves were only attached at the base of the leaf so it could be slightly curled up.  Each card had two leaves under a section of the sentiment label and one leaf over it.  The sentiment labels were attached with Dimensionals to give them some depth.

Each of the cards has a double bow made from 2022-2024 In Color Twine in the Parakeet Party color.  About 14" was used for each bow.  The bows were attached with a Mini Glue Dot.

For embellishments, two of the cards have 2022-2024 In Color Pearls in Parakeet Party green.  The other two cards have Lemon-Lime Twist gems from the new Tinsel Gems 4 Pack.  Even though the colors aren't the same, I think the embellishments work very nicely with the Soft Seafoam color.  (It pays to check all your embellishments even when they don't say the same color because you never know how they'll look together.)

Thanks for stopping by to see what's new.  Just a reminder that you need to redeem your Bonus Days coupons this month.  They will expire at the end of the month.  So if you don't use them, it's like money down the drain and we can't have that!  Check out the kits on sale and use all those coupons!  Happy shopping!

New Card Template

Hello Friends!  Hope you're all staying warm and dry.  We're back to colder weather and rain again.  But a least there's no snow coming around here.  I've been talking with friends in Michigan and Maine.  Sounds like both states are getting slammed with cold weather and lots of snow.  That's something that I'm not missing at all.  Now my friends, I'm missing those a lot!  Wish I could drag you all down here for a long visit.  Just think of how much stamping and chatting we could do!!  Oh well, that's just wishful thinking on my part.

Today I wanted to do something a little different.  How about a template you can use over and over again to make as many cards as you'd like?  I've made two cards with this template and it's an easy template to use.  There aren't too many pieces that need to be cut or scored.  Just enough to make it interesting.  Here goes...

Here are the basic cardstock measurements:

card base   -  11" x 4 1/4"  scored @ 5 1/2"

DSP layer  -  4" x 5 1/2"

white layer -  3" x 5"

If you only have these three components, you can make a different card every time you sit and stamp.  For this card, I used Balmy Blue for my card base.  The DSP layer is one of the prints from the Country Floral Lane DSP.  It's found on page 9 of the January - April Mini Catalog.  I have used most of the prints in this paper pack for Valentine cards.  I thought this blue print would make a pretty birthday card though.

Before doing any stamping on the Basic White layer, I used one of the Basic Borders dies to cut a fancy edge at an angle.  Isn't that a cute addition?  I chose the birthday sentiment from the Happy Thoughts set.  I really like the size of the fonts for this sentiment.  It fits the card just like I wanted.  It's stamped in Balmy Blue ink to match.  

Two leafy stems from the Dainty Delight dies were cut from Mint Macaron cardstock.  They were trimmed a little on the bottom edges to fit the white layer in a nice curve.  Multi Purpose Liquid Glue was used to attach the stems to the left side.  The three flowers and bud were die-cut from Pale Papaya cardstock to match the dots on the DSP.  These were attached with Mini Glue Dots along the stems.

Before attaching the layer, a Pale Papaya ribbon was tied around the card front and tied into a knot on the side.  I know it's a retired ribbon, but it worked so nicely with the card.  Besides, this is to give you a card template for your use, not really showcase any particular stamp set.  After adding the ribbon, the main layer was attached to the card front using Dimensionals.

At this point, I planned to add rhinestones to the card.  I wasn't happy with the rhinestones, or the Iridescent Pearls, or anything else I tried.  Everything I tried was just too pale.  Imagine me saying that!  LOL Time to go raid my retired stash of embellishments.  These gold pearls are from a set of gold and silver pearls.  They're nice and tiny and can easily be used for the flower centers.

I had so much fun making this card, I went right ahead and made a 2nd card using this same template.  After changing up the colors, it sure does look different.

For this one, I started out with a base of Blackberry Bliss cardstock.  I used some of the Favored Flowers that were a Sale-a-bration freebie that I just love.  It's so rich and elegant looking.

The ribbon was changed to the White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon.  The Blackberry Bliss Light Blends was used to color the ribbon.  Such an easy way to get ribbon in any color you want!

The sentiment is from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set.  It's stamped with Blackberry Bliss ink.  

I changed the die used to cut the edge of the white layer to a retired set called Ornate Border Dies.  I like the lacy delicate look with the darker colors on the card.  It still has that elegant feel to it.

The two sets of flowers tucked over and under the sentiment layer are parts of the Favored Flowers DSP cut with my Paper Snips.  They just fit right in, don't they?

The bling used on this card is the Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels.  Love, love, love these gorgeous jewels!  They tend to fit right in with anything you want to add sparkle to and make it shine.  I tried just three on the card, but that wasn't enough.  So I sprinkled on two more.  Yes!

Just wanted to share a picture of the inside of the card too.  The Basic White cardstock is cut to measure 5 1/4" x 4".  There is a 1/2" strip of coordinating DSP added to the bottom to match the front of the cards.  For this card, I chose a sentiment from the Irresistible Blooms stamp set that is an Online Exclusive.  Make sure you check out this set and all the other options online when you're ready to order.  If you have any trouble seeing them, call me and I'll try to help.

That's it for today.  Hope you give this card template a try.  It's a good idea to have some go-to templates to work with when you're stuck for a quick idea.  I know I find it helpful.

Thanks for stopping by to share a part of your day with me.  Feel free to leave me a message.  You know I'd love to hear from you!  If you're planning on ordering soon, please consider using the Host Code at the top right corner of this post.  Thanks so much!
