Butterfly Basics Stamp set – Page 4

Welcome to the ABC’s with DSP! This month I am featuring projects showcasing Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper. Today I am using the Festive Birthday Designer Series Paper to make 5 cards and envelopes from just one sheet of 12 x 12 DSP.

One Sheet Wonder using Festive Birthday Designer Series Paper

I love working with one sheet of 12 x 12 paper and seeing what I can make. I wanted some quick cards so I cut my 12 x 12 sheet of Designer Series Paper into 6 4×6 inch pieces. The Festive Birthday DSP coordinates with Emerald Envy, Crushed Curry, Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie, Tempting Turquoise, and Whisper White cardstock so I pulled out a sheet of each to play with. Here’s how I put the cards together.

I trimmed a piece of precut 4 x 6 DSP to 4 x 5 1/4 and then just folded down one corner and adhered it to a piece of 4 x 5 1/4 Whisper White. I stamped the sentiment from the Happy Happenings Stamp Set in Tempting Turquoise ink to match my card base. I punched the flower from a scrap piece of melon mambo using the pansy punch. I added a white perfect accent to the center and adhered it to my card with a Stampin’ Dimensional. I used the 3/4 x 4 inch leftover piece of DSP inside the card. (I just adhered it to the bottom of a piece of Whisper White measuring 4 x 5 1/4. I forgot to take a photo. Sorry!)

I cut 2 pieces of 4 x 6 DSP in half to make 4 2×6 pieces to decorate the envelopes. I cut a 1/4 inch strip from each color of cardstock used for the card bases to put on the envelopes with the DSP.

My next card also uses a piece 4 x 6 DSP trimmed to 4 x 5 1/4. (This time I saved the 3/4 x 4 inch piece for another card.) I love the way the Stampin’ Up! DSP is double sided. Here I used the Bold Butterfly Framelits to cut my butterfly from a piece of 2 1/4 x 5 Whisper White cardstock. I stamped the sentiment from Butterfly Basics in Emerald Envy, cut the banner, and attached some Emerald Envy ribbon and a bow. I used a glue dot to adhere the butterfly and added some Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

The first 2 cards and envelopes used 3 pieces of the 4 x 6 DSP. For my next 2 cards I will use 2 more pieces. I cut one piece of 4 x 6 DSP in half to make 2 3×4 inch pieces. (The other 4 x 6 piece is used for the envelopes.)

I adhered the 3 x 4 piece on to a Crushed Curry card base. I stamped the sentiment from Watercolor Words on Whisper White cardstock with Crushed Curry ink. I used the Layering Circles Framelits to cut the sentiment and a scalloped circle from Emerald Envy cardstock. I added a piece of the Emerald Envy ribbon with a glue dot and attached the sentiment layer with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The Rhinestone Basic Jewels finished off this quick & simple card.

My next card uses the 3/4 x 4 ” piece of DSP leftover from trimming the striped paper on the banner card. (It could be used on the inside of a card or layered on the front like I did here.)

I adhered the DSP to a piece of 4 x 5 1/4 Whisper White cardstock. I stamped the sentiment from Watercolor Words using Melon Mambo ink. I wrapped some Melon Mambo thick Baker’s Twine and tied a bow before adhering it all to the card base using Fast Fuse.

I cut my last piece of 4 x 6 DSP in half to make the card below. I attached the DSP to a Pumpkin Pie card base. This card could easily be vertical or horizontal. This is one of those layouts I use again and again. It seems to look different every time just by changing the DSP and matching cardstock, ribbon, cut out shape, and/or orientation.

I stamped the sentiment from Suite Sayings using Pumpkin Pie ink. I punched it out with the Decorative Label Punch and also punched one out from a scrap of Peekaboo Peach to layer the sentiment. I attached the sentiment with Stampin’ Dimensionals and added a Peekaboo Peach bow using a glue dot.

How cool is it that you can make 5 quick cards using just 1 piece of 12 x 12 DSP?! When you add the different sentiments and embellishments no one would ever know it was just a 4 x 6 piece of paper that started it all! They all look different. Do you have a favorite?

Welcome to another Fun Fold Friday! This week I was inspired by the color challenge at the Pals Paper Arts. This is my first time playing along and it was super fun!

Here is the color challenge by our amazing Pals leader, Mary Fish.

I love the 2016-2018 In Colors and have been using them in a lot of projects since their debut in the annual catalog. I had not paired them with Tip Top Taupe before and I have to say I like the soft tone against the flirty flamingo and peekaboo peach. I really like making pop up cards and have given several different versions to friends and family over the years. You can really add any sentiment and use for many different occasions. This sentiment is from the Butterfly Basics Stamp set.

Let’s get started…To make the pop up card you need a piece of cardstock measuring 4 1/4 x 11. Score at 1, 2 3/4, 3 3/4, 5 1/2, 7 1/4, 8 1/4, 10. Line it up in the personal trimmer in the center (at the 5 1/2 inch score line) and trim from 3/4 inches – 3 1/2 inches. The arrow on the cutting blade makes it easy to see where to cut.

Next, I folded the cardstock along the center cut line and trimmed the opening with my paper snips for a clean cut along the score line. Then fold along all score lines. Check out my photo to see where to stamp the sentiment and place the Tear & Tape Adhesive.

The stamped flower is from the exclusive hostess set, Gift of Love. It is a photopolymer stamp set which makes it so easy to do two-step stamping. I used Tip Top Taupe, Pear Pizzazz, and Flirty Flamingo ink. (Ask me how you can get this stamp set for FREE!)

I layered the stamped image on Flirty Flamingo cardstock (2 1/2 x 5 1/4) and Tip Top Taupe cardstock (2 3/4 x 5 1/2). I stamped another piece of Whisper White (2 1/2 x 5 1/4) to adhere on the back. Slide the layered image in the slit on the front of your card. Turn it over, fold the ends so the tape is facing you, remove the backing on the tape and adhere the image. Fold the other end down so it is on top adhering it along the bottom (like a sandwich with the layered image in the middle).

The card slides up and down through the slot. It’s so cool how it folds flat for mailing and is free standing once it is opened. I added some Dotted Lace Trim in Tip Top Taupe (retired), punched my butterflies, and finished it off with some pearls. I used the Peekaboo Peach envelope paper for my small butterfly to complete the color challenge.

The only thing left was stamping my envelope to match and this card is ready to send!
