Weekly Wed. #101 Waterside Retreat DSP

Happy Wednesday everyone. I think I am having a hard time letting go of my bayside vacay. LOL I am here today with three more Lakeside card creations. This time I am featuring the Waterside Retreat DSP which coordinates perfectly with the Relaxing Waterside Bundle that I featured on Monday. Click here if you missed that post!

You will love this paper and the bundle, but honestly if you don’t want to spend the money for the bundle, the paper is a must have. It is so easy to create fun summertime cards with this paper pack. I do hope they carry this over to an online staple at the end of this catalog. I know we will be heading into Christmas, but this is one of the best summertime paper packs we have had in a long time. Grab your pack before it is gone.

I hope you enjoyed today’s cards. My husband and I just got back from a relaxing mini vacay in Door County, Wisconsin, so these cards along with the cards from last week, Sunset Coast, are a fun way to remember our trip. Door County has many different shops and several fun wineries, so of course I had to fine a wine glass for my final card. LOL Happy Stamping!

Make It Monday #256 A-2 Cards and Gift Bag

Happy Monday everyone. I hope you had a glorious weekend. Today I am excited to share with you a fun gift bag that I created using one piece of 12 x 12 designer series paper. Plus you can use the left over strip to create 6 beautiful cards. I will be sharing with you 4 cards that I created with my left over strip. I want to give a shout out to Julie Dimiatteo at the Paper Pixie for her great tips on how to get perfectly even handles!

Here is a look at two of the bags I created:

Gift Bag Measurements:

  • Choose a 12 x 12 piece of designer series paper for your bag and matching cards. Cut your DSP to be 8-1/4 x 12 making sure your directional design is along the 12″ side.
  • Cut strip of 3-3/4 x 12 DSP into six 2″ strips to create your six matching cards.
  • Score on the 12″ side at 4-1/2, 5-3/4, 10-1/4, and 11-1/2. Rotate your DSP and score at 1-1/4 for the bottom and at 1″ for the top. See video on how to make cuts and fold bag and create the prefect ribbon handles.


Here is a closer look at the cards created from the 3- 3/4

These bags are so much fun and I love Julie’s tip on how to create the perfect handle every time. I had a blast created so many of these bags for this year’s Mother’s Day. Although my mom is no longer with me, I had a good time creating them for some very special moms! Thank the Lord for He is good and always placing the right people in our lives at the right time. Let us rejoice and give thanks for all moms and grandma’s this week. After all, Mother’s Day is not just one day of celebration, it is a lifetime of love. Stop back on Wednesday for another video tutorial. Happy Stamping!
