Textured Floral and Delightfully Electric DSP

Yesterday I created several cards from a one sheet wonder template using the Delightfully Electric Designer Series paper pack and if you watched that video then you know you can get this amazing paper pack of 48 sheets for free with a $50 online order through my store. You might want to place that order today, as time is running out as our Sale-a-Bration event ends this Thursday, February 29th.

Today, I took a 2 x 5½ strip of the same designer series print from yesterdays video, turned it over for the pink stripe side and stamped with one of the small flowers from the Textured Floral stamp set to create a floral look on top of the stripes. I used Berry Burst ink to stamp the flowers and Garden Green to add the green accents. I stamped the splatter ink with Fresh Freesia ink and I have to say they all coordinate perfectly. Below is an image of the pattern that I choose. The one of the left is from yesterday’s video and if you flip it over you get the one on the right, the one I used for today’s card.

Here is the card I created today using the strip of designer series paper on the right.

I stamped the greeting from the set with Berry Burst ink and fussy cut it with my paper snips. I added a 1 inch strip of Garden Green CS along both sides of my DSP strip. You can cut a piece of Garden Green that measures 2¼ x 5½ but I had a few 1″ strips in my scrap bin so I decided to save a little paper. So next time you are looking at some striped patterned paper that you are not sure how to use it, think outside the box and add some stamped images like the sample shown above. It really makes your paper take on a whole new look. Happy Stamping!

Until next time, be blessed, Renae

Happy Wednesday! The weather is finally feeling a bit more like fall so hopefully that will get you in the mode to decorate for fall and Halloween and so here are two more quick and ease, but oh so cute Halloween card to get you in the spirit. Monday I shared with you three cards using the patchwork 12 x 12 designer series paper from the Them Bones pack. Here are two more super simple and did I mention quick card creations using some of the sections of that piece of patchwork https://youtu.be/BUFCAIvcUCApaper. If you missed Monday’s video tutorial, click the image below!

For my first card I began with a Basic Black card base and then layered the black hounds tooth rectangle on the left side of my card. I then add the orange trick or treat image from that same sheet of DSP from Them Bones. Add a Basic White panel to the inside and decorate as desired. Super quick and easy!

A Closer Look!

Here is a closer look at the paper I used today and in Monday’s video tutorial. It is a 12 x 12 sheet from the Them Bone Designer Series paper pack featured in the 2023 Holiday mini catalog.

For my second card I used the blue hounds tooth and the Boo patch. My card base is Starry Sky and again I added a piece of white inside where you can decorate the inside. Easy Peasy! You will be amazing at how quickly cards come together using this fun paper pack! I created both of these cards in less that 5 minutes! Really! The quality of our designer series paper is so awesome, why not let the paper do all the work! LOL Happy Stamping or should I say Happy Gluing!

Merriest Moments ~Poinsettia

2 Comments / Christmas 2022, Paper Crafting Ideas / November 8, 2022

Did you know the poinsettia is typically considered a Christmas flower, and many people give them around Christmas time to symbolize good will and community spirit. In religious communities, the shape of the poinsettia flower is thought to symbolize the Star of Bethlehem, with the red leaves of the poinsettia symbolizing the blood of Christ.

My card today was created using the poinsettia from the Merriest Moments stamp set and the Designer Series Paper, Lights Aglow. The set and dies are returning favorites and featured on page 23 in the July-December holiday catalog.

Project Measurements

Evening Evergreen CS- 5½ x 8½, (card base), 2-7/8 x 3-7/8
Basic White CS- 2¾ x 3¾, 2¼ x 2¼, 4 x 5¼
Lights Aglow DSP-3 ¾ x 5
Merriest Moments Stamp Set
Merriest Moments Dies
Evening Evergreen Ink
Soft Succulent Ink
Cherry Cobbler Ink
Stampin’ Cut n Emboss Machine
Stampin’ Seal Adhesive/Liquid Glue

Poinsettias can cause dogs and cats to get sick, but they are actually not poisonous. Supposedly the leaves are very bitter, so chances are your pet will not like feasting on them.
