P is for Poppy Parade, Pool Party, & Petal Pink

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 Poppy Parade, Pool Party, & Petal Pink.

I created these cards using a fun technique called Stack, Slice, & Shuffle. It’s so simple…You stack 3 pieces of DSP, slice together, then shuffle to create 3 cards! Here are the details.

Measurements:

• Card base: Cut 3 @ 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4
• Cardstock Layer (Basic Black): Cut 3 @ 5 1/8 x 3 7/8
• DSP (Sunny Days): *cut 3 different but coordinating pieces- 5 x 3 3/4
  
• Basic White (inside): cut 3 @ 5 1/4 x 4, scraps to stamp and cut sentiment

Directions:

1. Fold & burnish card bases.
2. Stack together the 3 pieces of designer series paper and cut all 3 at the same time. There’s so many different ways you can “Slice” your paper. I made the first cut ~ 1″ from the upper left edge down to ~ 1″ above the lower right corner. *I did not measure! My second cut was from the middle point to the corner.
   

   

   

   

3. Shuffle the DSP- Mix up the 3 sets of DSP so you have one pattern in each stack (like a puzzle).
   
4. Adhere the DSP to cardstock layer. Adhere layered DSP to card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
5. Stamp sentiments and cut with Thoughtful Expressions Dies.
6. Attach ribbon to center of card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add Die cut sentiment on top. Add Adhesive-Backed Heart embellishment.
   
7. Adhere White cardstock layer inside card for sentiment or handwritten message.

Here’s a closer look at each card.

These make great all occasion cards! I love the new Thoughtful Expressions Dies (available as a bundle -Save 10%). I used the Sunny Days Designer Series Paper. This paper pack is FREE during Sale-A-Bration with an order of $50 or more.

The cheerful colors and joyful designs all work together, so you can mix and match any way you like. You can also fussy cut the flowers and strawberries to create fun accent pieces for all your paper crafting projects. Here are the colors I chose to create with today.
