Share What You Love DSP

Birthday Shares

Here is our newest two week challenge –

Optional Theme : Pastels

I got this! I paired this soon to retire Share What You Love Designer Series Paper with the Cake Builder punch to create this quick and easy elegant birthday card –

I was running wayyy late last week for my May Card Buffet and created this card, start to finish, literally as my friends were arriving to stamp!

It was a total hit! Although there were lots of great cards to choose from, almost everyone made this card and the even bought this paper. Heck, I even broke down and bought another pack!

It was quite simple to create, embossed Smokey Slate panel, added a strip of Designer Series Paper (DSP), stamped a greeting, punched the cake out of the same DSP and put that on a layered punched circle. Done!

Easy. Quick. Elegant.

Check out out the other Design Team cards on our Try Stampin’ on Tuesday blog or Facebook page. You can also play along with our challenge and show us your cards on either site.

Card Number 3, Hello Beautiful

April 29, 2019 · Leave a Comment

This past weekend I hosted my monthly Card Buffet. I post the Buffet choices on my Facebook page and on Instagram.

Here were the choices –

I was quite funny that I was trying to figure out what card 3 was going to be. I knew I wanted to use the Butterly Gala Bundle so I had the page open for inspiration.

My C., Cranston, jumped on the top of the catalog and stayed there for over an hour! Well, that was picture worthy! And I was able to design this at 2:00 am the night before!

Isn’t it beautiful???? Luckily, I had just enough of this paper left to create enough packets for everyone to make this card!

And, everyone wanted to make it!

The pattern paper made it just gorgeous. It’s the Share What You Love Specialty. It is nice and thick and has an pearlized finish.

The layout made it so simple!!! Minimal stamping and just embossing. This is easily recreated with any Designer Series Papers and the Butterfly Duet punch. This would also work with just about any sentiment too!

What do think? Gorgeous? Easy? Are you itching to make this now??

Hello

Welcome to the Create with Connie and Mary Thursday challenge!

Isn’t this a great layout this week?!?! I love it!

In designing my card for this week, I realize that I can use more simple, everyday cards. So, I went with a ‘hello’ card today –

This lovely ‘hello’ is from Calligraphy Essentials. When stamped, it stamps the outline of the word. It’s nice, but it needed to be a little bolder for this card. I took my Stampin’ Write Marker and just colored it in! I wanted a thicker, bolder look for the sentiment.

(Surprisingly, this color, Blackberry Bliss, is a returning color. Both my ink pad and marker worked perfectly after all these years and use in previous classes! Awesome our pads are so long-lasting!)

Oh, back to the card….the bold Designer Series Paper is the Share What You Love. It’s subtle, but a little bold too! I love it here.

I figured this would make anyones day to receive! I’ll make a few more and might even have this on the July Card Buffet.

As always, our Design Team creates some terrific cards. Check them out on the Create with Connie and Mary blog. If you want to show off what you made from our inspiration? You can do that on our Facebook page.

Playing with new stuff for Create with Connie and Mary and our Saturday blog hop.

Our theme this week features the Love What You Do Bundle.

It will be in the upcoming catalog, but is available for purchase now. It’s a really pretty suite of products. You can see them here.

I went with a brighter card –

The colors in this suite are absolutely gorgeous!

My base here is Rich Razzleberry. I layered on the new color, Grapefruit Grove, then a piece of the Share What You Love Designer Series Paper.

It’s hard to see, but the Grapefruit grove was embossed on the ends with the Lovely Floral Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder.

Happy Thursday. We have a new card challenge at Create with Connie and Mary.

Look at this awesome design –

I am using some new stuff from the early release of the Share What You Love Suite.

I created this –

The Designer Series Paper is just fabulous! Here, I cut the flowers out individually for the sketch! When you look closely, you can see that they are pearlized –

There are three options of which you can see here. The stamp set I used is even in the bundles! Those are such beautiful words!

Saturday, we will be hosting a blog hop using these products so you can get even more ideas! Check back!
