Designer Series Paper

Weekly Wednesday #46 Shades and Hues

Leave a Comment / Designer Series Paper, Thank You, Weekly Wednesday Videos /

Hey friends I am back with another Weekly Wednesday video and the designer series paper pack for today’s card is on the Last Chance list. Click Here for the Shades and Hues and other products that are on sale. I know this paper pack will get your creative juices flowing.

To create today’s card, begin with a 4 x 5 -1/4 piece of designer series paper. The color of course is your choice. I choose the Pool Party-Coastal Cabana hues. Cut the panel in portrait position (short side at the top) at 2-1/2. Simply flip the smaller piece so the solid side is showing and attach both pieces to a Basic White card base. See video for details.

I stamped the solid banner from Kiss of Texture with Pool Party ink. The greeting is from Simply Said and stamped with Coastal Cabana. The banner dies from Stylish Shapes crop this banner perfectly-who knew? I love it when everything coordinates. Add a strip of Coastal Cabana CS and a few pearls and you are all set. Love it! This paper pack does all the work,. Be sure to order your pack today as it is on the Last Chance Product list and supplies are limited!

Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time, be blessed, Renae

Five Minute Friday Serene Love DSP

Congratulations-Graduation-Retirement, Designer Series Paper, Five Minute Cards /

Happy Friday everyone. I thought I would start a new series for Fridays called Five Minute Fridays. I am hoping these super quick cards will inspire you to create something beautiful to share. I will keep the Fun Fact Fridays alive as well. So on Fridays you will either see a Five Minute card or a Fun Fact Friday. Either way, we will all be ready to celebrate Fridays, right?

Today’s Five Minute card is created using the Serene Love 12 x 12 Designer Series paper. This is a great paper pack and it is in the Last Chance Products sections while supplies last. Click here to see all the Last Chance Products!

I started with a Night of Navy card base. I chose the Night of Navy stripes with the Night of Navy floral on the reverse side. I first cut a 2 x 5-1/4 strip and then a 3 x 5 -1/4 strip. I used the 2″ strip for the stripes and the 3″ for the flowers. See sample above. I then added a 1/2″ x 5-1/4 inch strip of Night of Navy cardstock.

The greeting is from So Sincere and is stamped with Night of Navy ink. I cropped the greeting using the Labeled with Love die. Just add your bling of choice and you are all set. Of course you can take it a step further and color some of the flowers. Totally your call. Happy Stamping!

Fun Fact Friday~ How Much Space Do You Need to Craft?

Designer Series Paper, Fun Fact Friday, Happy Birthday, Sale-a-Bration /

It’s Friday, I hope you are all ready for the weekend. I know I am. One thing I have to do this weekend in clean my craft room. It is a mess! I am sure that never happens to you! Fun Fact: Why is it that no matter how big a crafting space is most crafters tend to create in a 8 x 8 space surrounded by misc. crafting supplies? Well, my craft rooms needs attention so I am crafting in a 4 x 4 space. Time to clean up, organize, and get energized.

Today’s card features the new Beautiful Butterflies Bundle and more of that gorgeous Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper. This paper pack can be yours free with a $60 order through my online store, CLICK HERE

Project Supplies

  • Blueberry Bushel CS- 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, plus scrap for butterfly body
  • Very Vanilla CS- 4 x 5 1/4 (2)
  • Basic Black CS-4 x 4
  • Melon Mambo CS-1/8 x 7
  • Bloom Impressions DSP-4 x 5 1/4 cut on the diagonal
  • Stampin’ Adhesive
  • With You In Mind stamp set
  • Blueberry Bushel Ink

I started by cutting my piece of DSP in half on the diagonal and then attached it to the Very Vanilla panel. I then added my strip of Melon Mambo and trimmed off the edges. Crop the butterfly using Basic Black CS and and the body with Blueberry Bushel and attach to card front. Stamp the greeting with Blueberry Bushel ink and add the 2nd panel of Very Vanilla to the inside.

This was a super fun and very easy card lay out. If you have this amazing DSP, I hope you are enjoying it as much as I am. If not hop on over to my online store and purchase yours today. Happy Stamping!
