O is for One Sheet Wonder with DSP

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.

Festive Birthday Thank You card

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 the ABC’s with DSP!  This month I am featuring projects showcasing Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper. Today I am using the Floral Boutique Designer Series Paper.  This pack has 12 sheets: 2 each of 6 double-sided designs in Night of Navy and Whisper White…so classic!

Joy Fold Card

I like Fun Fold Cards.  My card today is a Joy Fold Card. I cut a  piece of Night of Navy cardstock at 4 1/4 x 8 1/2.  I scored it at 5 1/2.  I cut a piece of the Floral Boutique Designer Series Paper 4 x 5 1/4 and adhered it to the inside of the card.  I cut another piece of DSP at 2 3/4 x 4 and adhered it to the front flap.  I made a second card in Night of Navy to make the joy fold. I cut a piece of Night of Navy cardstock at 3 x 8 and scored it at 4 inches.  I attached this piece to the DSP on the inside of the card making sure the folded end was on the right.  I stamped my sentiment on a piece of 2 3/4 x 3 3/4 Whisper White and adhered it to the front flap. I tied a piece of organza ribbon around the front flap and tied a bow.  This serves to tuck in the folded card on top.  I thought it needed a little bling so I added 3 Rhinestone Basic Jewels. Here’s some photos showing how the joy fold opens and the inside of the card.  You can see I cut another piece of 2 3/4 x 3 3/4 Whisper White and DSP for the inside of the card.  I also used DSP on the envelope to coordinate.

Look Who’s Turning 50!

Stampin Up Number of Years 50th birthday card idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

Yesterday I shared a wine tag I made for Suzanne’s birthday celebration. This is the card I made for her. I used some of the same elements as the tag…gorgeous gold ribbon, Floral Affection Embossing Folder (my favorite), and the Large Numbers Framelits.   I used a stamp from the Number of Years stamp set to heat emboss the sentiment using VersaMark and gold embossing powder.

Here’s the card dimensions:

The whisper white card base is 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ and scored at 4 1/4″.  The gold floral Designer Series Paper is from the Neutrals Collection and measures 4″ x 5 1/4″.  The embossed whisper white layer measures 4 1/4″ x 3″ and is matted with gold card stock measuring 4 3/8″ x 3 1/8″. I tied a knot in the ribbon and secured the ends on the back with Snail Adhesive. I added Stampin’  Dimensionals on the back before attaching it to the floral layer.

I chose the gold color scheme for this card based on her gift, a beautiful handmade “friend” bracelet. I used a sentiment from the Happy Happenings stamp set on the inside of the card.  It was perfect for Suzanne and her Girls Night Out limo ride!

I love making envelopes to match so I embossed the front with the Floral Affection embossing folder. (I used this embossing folder last week on a card and watercolored.  To see that card click HERE.)
