Bright Three Color Card

Do you ever shy away from using certain colors in Stampin’ Up!s color families? I sure do. 

This particular card is one I’ve designed for an October mail-in swap I’m participating in. I challenged myself to use some newer colors to see what I could come up with. 

I started with cutting up a 6” x 6” sheet of the 2020-22 InColor Designer Series Paper (DSP) stack to create 4 equal polygons. I played with arrangement, color combos, and pattern until I created something that made me happy. 

The winning color scheme is Magenta Madness, Just Jade and Bumblebee along with the two rose sheets from the Flowers for Every Season 6” x 6”  DSP.  In addition to those items, I also used the Ridicuously Awesome stamp set, Just Jade Ink, Magenta Madness cardstock, Just Jade cardstock, Just Jade 1/4” ribbon,  Duet Butterfly Punch, Champagne Rhinestones, Stitched Shapes Dies, Layering Circles Dies, and a Whisper White card base.

How to cut the 6x6 DSP is easy. Use a pencil and ruler and measure 1-1/2” from the lower right corner and make a tick mark. Rotate the paper 90 degrees then repeat process 3 more times. With your pencil and ruler draw a line connecting the 2 opposite marks and then rotate the paper 90 degrees and draw a second line connecting the remaining two marks. With your paper trimmer slice the paper on the drawn lines to create the 4 pieces.

You will be able to make four cards from this process. It’s a great way to use up old Designer Series Paper and still create beautiful cards.

I hope you enjoyed this design idea.

 

Pick a Punch Holiday Banner Card

Here's an incredibly easy holiday card you can make using any holiday paper you have on hand. This card was cased from www.happystampin.nl.  I used the Pick A Banner Punch from Stampin' Up! All I had to do was slice 1/2" strips of the Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper, then punch the banner end and then snip to the length. I wanted on the raised layer of Whisper White cardstock. You can't see it here in the photo, but I used mini-dimensionals to raise the banner ends up a bit to give a "flying in the wind" effect. Then I wrapped the gold cord around the layer twice, tied a knot, then tied a bow. I recommend that you tie a knot at the end of the cord when you cut it to keep it from fraying. Any holiday greeting stamp can be used, but I used the Wrapped in Christmas stamp set and Mossy Meadow ink.
