Crafting With You and Fresh as a Daisy DSP Combined with the One Sheet Wonder Process

One Sheet Wonder anyone? This sheet of Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper lends itself to do exactly that! Check out the fun cards you can make with this sheet alone. I didn't use every block, but since two of these sheets come in each package, that is how I have some double cards shown below.

Played with two different colored card bases: 

Wild Wheat or Early Espresso

The little floral strip on each card was a piece of retired 6" x 6" Neutrals Designer Series Paper.

I think the Early Espresso card base looks better to me.

Combined the Bubble Bath card base with a layer of Moody Mauve with its edge cut with the Basic Border Dies. Added the 2023-25 In Color Dots and Linen Thread. Mounted the Daisy image on a layer of Basic White. 

Moody Mauve card base with layer of Basic White. Add to that layer the small daisy design in the upper left corner. Flip over one of the sections you aren't crazy about of this sheet and you'll get the lovely matching Moody Mauve background that is perfect to stamp on with Moody Mauve ink and place in the lower left and upper right sections. The larger daisy section comes from a different sheet in this paper pack.

Compare the card above with the card below. These two cards look substantially different with a card base color and ribbon change. The upper card uses the Burlap Ribbon. The lower card uses the Copper Clay 3/8" Textured Ribbon.

Starts Today! Who Doesn't Love a Deal? Joining Stampin' Up! Will Be One of the Best Decisions You Ever Make!

Every so often Stampin' Up! offers their join opportunity. The month of June has a great deal for you! And extra $30 of products you can choose. I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't share this fabulous value with you! 

But first, I thought I'd share my story of how I started with Stampin' Up! 

I had never considered joining Stampin' Up! until November, 2010 when the demonstrator I'd been attending classes with for several years said to me, "Hey did you know the Starter Kit is a really good deal right now?" "No," I said. However, I was having a particularly hard year in my teaching career, and I needed something to take my mind off it, so I thought "Why NOT!"  

Gosh, that has been one of the best decisions I've ever made. Stampin' Up! holds a very treasured spot in my heart after 12.5 years. It got me through my final five years of teaching, now after 7 years of retirement, it has been such a blessing in my life. I love being my own boss! Who's retired? Not me really!

Stampin' Up! is a great company, they have the absolute best customer service, and products that are the best in the business. I love their color-coordinated "families" of cardstocks, inks, ribbons and embellishments. They make creating cards and more so easy! 

My life has been enriched by all the wonderful people I've met, the conventions I've attended around the county, the card swaps I've participated in, and the collection of wonderful products I have accumulated. I have grown as a leader, learned a ton about technology, become empowered in my creativity and confidence. All done in a setting of positivity and encouragement. 

Maybe my story will help you make your decision...

First of all, there is no obligation to sell or hold parties. You can join just for the 20% discount and purchase products just for yourself.

Let's add up the Value of this Opportunity:

Your cost - $99 Kit plus sales tax - value of items you choose $155

Free Past Paper Pumpkin Kit $25

Free Kit shipping $20 value

Total Value nearing $200

I'd love to talk with you about it. Or if you want to jump right in Join Here I'd love to have you on my team.

If the time's not right for you to join, I'd love to be your Stampin' Up! Independent Demonstrator!

Make This Festive Happy Birthday Cactus Card Using Stampin' Up!s Taco Fiesta Stamp Set! Ole'!

Even though we are nearing the end of May, it is always a good time to be festive with your cardmaking. Give this card layout a try. You'll want to have some chips and salsa when you finish it!

I was inspired by Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Kathy Clark's idea, but I changed up the layering technique under the cacti in the center of the card front using the Basic Border Dies.

The Birthday greeting below is from one of my previous Paper Pumpkin stamp sets, but you can use any Happy Birthday stamp you have.

Below you can see how the zig-zag strips are layered one on top of the other. Start in the middle with a different pattern of Designer Series Paper (polka dot) and adhere that down. After you die cut out all your zig-zag strips, only apply adhesive to the straight edge bottom of each strip.

Place your "red" strips 1/8" away from the top and bottom of the "turquoise" layer. Then the process is to slide the next "purple" strips under the red layer aligning with the left and right-side margins. Repeat for the "lime" strips.

The center cacti tag has the shown images stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. Then color with assorted Stampin' Write Markers. Using a 1/8" hole punch, punch two holes next to each other in the upper left area of the Basic White Circle. Cut three 8" strips of the 1/8" Metallic ribbon. Fold each ribbon piece in half and thread folded middle through the punched hole and loop the two loose ends through the loop and pull snug. Repeat with the other two pieces. Then adhere the larger red circle to the Basic White circle and raise the two layer tag up on dimensionals.

Taco Fiesta Stamp Set #160732  $19.00 USD

Supplies Used:

Parakeet Party cardstock 5 1/2" x 8 1/2"

Tahitian Tide cardstock 4" x 5-1/4"

Give This Locking Diagonal Angle Fun Fold a Try Using These Beautiful Stampin' Up! Products

Have you tried the Locking Diagonal Angle Fun Fold yet? What's cool about this fun fold, is you will get two cards from one sheet of 8 1/2" x 11" cardstock. In this example, use a piece of Pretty Peacock, which is a returning color in the new 2023-24 Annual Catalog. I loved this color when it first came out, and I am so glad it is back in the Color Collection!

Also two pieces of the Hello, Irresistible 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper that you will cut 4" x 5 1/4" will provide the pieces needed for the front of your cards.

Notice the difference between the card above and the card below? The Designer Series Paper are just in opposite locations on the card front. 

Here's the cutting pattern to make the two cards.

The secret to the "locking" mechanism is to raise your front tag up on dimensionals, so that a smaller circle can "lock" between the back of front tag and the card base. It is a nice solution for helping the card stay closed.

Have You Tried the "K" Card Shape Fun Fold using Stampin' Up!s Crafting with You Bundle? Super Fun!

What do you do when you make a "wrong" cut in your card base? You design a new style of card! I'm calling it the "K" Card Shape Fun Fold.

Refer to my photos below to create the two pieces you'll need for the card base, but DON'T glue them together just yet.

Then cut the Bright and Beautiful Designer Series Paper (DSP) cut 4" x 5 1/4", then slice from upper right to lower left. One of the triangles flips over to get the two patterns. You will need to play with the fit of the DSP triangles and fine tune them by cutting off a little "here and there" of the DSP triangle.

Once you've got the patterned paper to fit the way you like it, go ahead and adhere to each triangle section, Now set the loose triangle inside of the card and see how it fits and looks. If you are happy , go ahead and adhere them together making sure you don't get any adhesive where it shouldn't be. 

Decide what sentiment  and ink color you will want to stamp on the Basic White inner layer cut at 4" x 5 1/4". Lay the paper inside the card base with even margins so you will know exactly where to stamp. Once your sentiment is stamped then you can adhere inside the card.

With a scrap of Basic White, stamp your choice of "craft" in another coordinating ink color, then die cut out. Adhere only half of the image to the lower triangle portion, with the other half of the image hanging over the edge.

Embellish with your choice of coordinating embellishments.

If you'd like a decorated envelope flap, cut a piece of the DSP 2 3/8" x 6", adhere and trim off excess.

Ta-Da, you have a darling card to give or send!

Bubble Bath Vertical Left Fold Card Base - start with 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", score at 4 1/4"

Fresh Freesia Horizontal Tent Fold Card Base - start with 4 1/4" x 11", score at 5 1/2"
