Happy Tuesday Try Stampin’ on Tuesday

Optional Theme : April Showers

So I got the sketch down, but not the April showers –

Still as lovely as can be!

I used this soon-to-retire Ornate Garden* Designer Series Paper* as my starting point –

I love the subtle gold foiling in the pattern!

The light catches it nicely!

Both oval sets recently retired, the Layering Ovals Dies* and the Stitched Shapes Dies*. So sad to see both go from Stampin’ Up!

The sentiment is from the Four Seasons* stamp set –

It is a bargain at only $5.60! And, if you just like the flower images, then you can get the French version for only $3.60!

Such a beautiful card! The bow adds the finishing touch!

And, at $2.80 for both rolls of the Ornate Garden Ribbon Combo Pack* you can not beat that!

Check out out the other Design Team cards on our Try Stampin’ on Tuesday. We use a variety of products, so come join us with what supplies you have! All of our challenges are two weeks long.

Time to share a really cool, easy Fun Fold today!

A Book Fold –

Quick run down how I did these –

For the long cards –

fold closed like a card, fold back scoreline
adhere 1 1/4″ section on the inside using Tear & Tape

For all the cards I used products that are about to retire and are must haves!

I used the Ornate Garden Designer Series Paper * on all the cards. It is now marked down to $6.00, from $15.00!!!!

You need this paper!!! Lol!

The sentiment is a favorite of mine from the Strong & Beautiful* stamp set. I always like to send it out at Mother’s Day to my friends.

I used the Story Label Punch* and the 2″ Circle* punch for the sentiment focal point. Both are retiring.

Of course, each card was finished off with retiring ribbons as well!

Ornate Garden 6 x 6 One Sheet Wonder

August 16, 2020 · Leave a Comment

Hello my friends!

I’m delving into safe stamping with my stampin’ friends again, from a distance of course! And here is my latest project with them –

Four cards from one 6 x 6 sheet of Designer Series Paper! Here is the way I cut the pieces for a visual –I cut four 3 x 3 squares, then each was cut –

one into 1″ x 3″ strips
one into 1 1/2″ x 3″
one into 1 1/2″ x 1 1/2″ squares
and the last one was for the Heart Punch Pack or whatever you want to create with the last square

Here is each card by itself –

This one has 1 1/2″ x 3″ Designer Series Paper strips.

I used the Heart Punch Pack for this one.

Simple 1″ x 3″ strips. And, this one is my favorite!

These are the 1 1/2″ x 1 1/2″ strips.

All are on a base of 3 1/4″ x 4 1/2″. I decided to make them all the same size, however some could have been trimmed down. The sentiment strip is 1″ x 3″.

For all the cards, I used the different sentiments from the Peaceful Moments stamp set. These very quick and easy to put together! I think it took longer to make the cuts then to assemble them!

If you have any questions, let me know!

Welcome to our monthly Joy of Sets Tic Tac Toe Challenge blog!

Here is our latest monthly challenge grid –

Lots of great options, huh?

I went with flowers, ribbon and texture –

Flowers are in this gorgeous Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper.

Ribbon is from a Christmas suite, but matches the So Saffron sooo nicely.

Texture comes from two things. One the embossed Designer Series Paper. Two, the dies cut Whisper White later has a visual texture all round the card!

Simple lovely!

Welcome to our Thursday Create with Connie and Mary sketch challenge!

I hope you are keeping busy if you are home these days!

How about a challenge for you –

Since we have a new product medley to create with, how about showing that off??

I created a tone on tone card with some wonderful items in this collection –

Pretty. Pretty.

I used Rococo Rose for my card base and the embossed layer. This Ornate Floral folder is a real favorite of mine!

I used a small piece of the Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper for a little accent. I didn’t want to cover it up, hence the vellum Starburst Circle!

My sentiment YOU, was a partial stamp and I added the words below it. Very sweet!

The Old Olive decorative strip is from one of the border dies in the bundle. I used a smaller piece of it here.

This is a really pretty suite of products! You can order them here.

Check out the Design Team creations on our Create with Connie and Mary blog.
