Welcome to my ABC Color Series! Stampin’ Up! offers so many great color choices! I love to combine different colors and patterns and hope to inspire you with some fun color combinations throughout this series. Today’s cards feature Crushed Curry, Calypso Coral, and coordinating colors from the Inked Botanical Designer Series Paper.
Coordinating Colors: Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry, Lost Lagoon, Petal Pink, Pool Party
This paper was designed by pressing hand-inked flowers onto the paper, giving it a beautiful textured, artistic effect. The spectrum of colors, botanical designs, and patterns featured in this paper are great for any season and ideal for all-occasion projects to create year round! Just pair with the greeting and embellishments of your choice to say hello, wish happy birthday, or send a thank you note in simplicity or finesse—the choice is yours!
I love working with 6×6 paper and trying to use it all without any waste. Today’s cards do just that! I had fun trying different color combinations using the pretty patterns.
Here’s a look at each:
MEASUREMENTS:
- Card Base: 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″
- Front Designer Series Paper: 3 3/4″ x 5″
- Coordinating cardstock layer: Cut 2 @ 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″
- Inside Very Vanilla: 3 3/4″ x 5″
- DSP inside: 1″ x 3 3/4″
- DSP envelope: 2 1/4 x 6
Each card uses 1 sheet of 6×6 DSP. Here’s how to cut the DSP with no waste:
First cut: 3 3/4 x 6 (leaves 2 1/4 x 6 for envelope)
Second cut: Cut 3 3/4 x 6 piece so it measures 3 3/4 x 5 (leaves 1 x 3 3/4 piece for inside card)
*You can also cut the 3 3/4 x 5 piece again and flip one piece over to show both patterns like I did for the last card.
*Note- If your pattern is directional you will need to cut a little different for a horizontal card.
Here’s a look at the DSP on the inside of the cards:
I used the Something Fancy Dies for the sentiment layers on the front of the cards.
You can create beautifully elegant tags and labels for all your projects with the Something Fancy Dies! These dies coordinate with the Something Fancy Stamp set; however, they work well with many different stamp sets. (I used the Biggest Wish stamp set for 3 of today’s cards.) This die set is packed with versatile labels and shapes in several sizes, so you are sure to get the most use out of this set. Check it out!

My favorite card from today is the one with the “Hello” sentiment.
Your cards are just beautiful! I, too, like to challenge myself to use the whole 6×6 DSP and this paper is a favorite. I think I agree with Carol B…the Hello card is my pick, probably d/t fact it uses more Calypso Coral CS, which I love! Tfs =:)
Very pretty cards, Jeanie. I love the sentiment stamps and the color combinations. Enjoy your day!
Thanks for the 6×6 cutting measurements ! I love quick and easy cards and still be pretty ! yours fit ! I like the Hello card also ,but love your two colored Birthday sentiment on the the birthdaycard !
Love, love, love your A B C series! Thanks so much for sharing.
I remember the last ABC series you did and so happy you are doing another one.
All are great and I couldn’t pick one. Thanks for reminding us of how to cut for the best use.
