I was not sure what to call these cards, but it sure was fun creating them. This super simple template will be just the thing to use up your leftover scraps of designer series paper. And if you don’t have scraps, well I am not sure how that would happen, but in case you don’t just cut a strip of dsp that measures 1-1/4 x 12 and cut according to the template in the video.

Here is a closer look at the cards!

I hope you have as much fun creating these cards as I did. Once I created the template I was having so much fun with my different scraps. You could also try making your own DSP pattern paper and maybe even emboss some solid cardstock squares for an added dimension. I can see that the possibilities are endless. I think I might have to give that a try a my next stamp camp. Happy Stamping!

Until next time, be blessed, Renae

First Snow begins with Feels like Frost!

Christmas 2020 / October 26, 2020 / Christmas, Designer Series Paper, For Unto Us, Night of Navy, Simple Card

Today’s card was created using the Feels Like Frost 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper. I love this beautiful printed paper and how easy it is to create an elegant card in just a few minutes. I began with a Night of Navy card base and added a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of the Feels Like Frost paper, stamped the greeting from the For Unto Us stamp set in Night of Navy ink and added a little bling using our basic jeweled rhinestones. It truly was that simple.

One tip to keep in mind when using this printed paper is to pay attention to the pattern or image when you cut so the image is in the correct orientation. This was such a simple card and it literally took only a few minutes to create. I think the hardest part was trying to decide which sentiment to use from the For Unto Us set because I love them all. LOL

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you will join me tomorrow for another super simple creation using our Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper. Feel free to leave a comment, I’d love to know what you think! Stamping Hugs and Blessings, Renae.
