Reindeer Fun - 11 Cards from 4 Sheets of 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper

Hi everyone, sharing the cards from a little project I have been working on in the last week.  I took 4 sheets of the 'Take a Bow' Designer Series Paper, one of each pattern and worked out cutting layouts to make 11 cards with no scraps.  The cutting guides are at the bottom of this post.

I have used the Reindeer Fun stamp set and dies to embellish my cards. 

Card 1

Follow the cutting guide to get the pieces of Designer Series Paper for this card. The pieces will be 3.8cm x 7.6cm (1 1/2" x 3") and 7.6cm x 7.6cm (3" x 3").  The Real Red cardstock strip measures 1.2cm x 9cm (1/2" x 3 1/2").  The Basic White cardstock mat is 12.3cm x 8cm (4 7/8" x 3 1/8").

This sketch is a variation of Call Me Crafty Al's April 2023 Sheetload of Cards template.  I added the cardstock strip to cover the gap and adjusted the sizes of the Designer Series Paper slightly as I was cutting for metric size and Australian sized cards.

Card 2

Follow the cutting guide to get the pieces of Designer Series Paper for this card. The 3 pieces will be 3.8cm x 7.5cm (1 1/2" x 3").  The mat measures 12.3cm x 8cm (4 7/8" x 3 1/8").

I do not know where this card sketch originated, I have seen numerous cards with this layout so just worked out the mearsurements to suite the card size that I wanted to make.

This card sketch is from Jesscrafts 6" x 6" Paper Buster Template # 4.  I just reversed the layout so that I had small pieces on the outside and a larger piece on the inside.

Reindeer Fun - 11 Cards from 4 Sheets of 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper

Stash Busting Saturday - Last Chance List

Hi everyone, for this week's Stash Buster projects I delved into the Last Chance List on the Stampin' Up! Online Store.

I have used the 2023-2025 In Color 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper Pack, Copper Clay Textured Ribbon and the Deckled Rectangles Dies.  I teamed these with the Saying Hey stamp set to create 8 cards from 2 sheets of the Copper Clay Designer Series Paper.

I cut the first piece of Designer Series Paper into 7.6cm x 7.6cm (3" x 3") Squares.  I then cut 1" off one end, so you will have two pieces of Designer Series Paper.

Adhere these to the outer edges of a piece of Crushed Curry that measures 10.1cm x 10.5cm (4" x 4 1/8"), the top and bottom edges have been torn. You will have a gap between the two pieces but this is covered by the strip of Basic Black cardstock that measures 15cm x 3.8cm (4 1/2" x 1 1/2").

Create the sentiment panel and adhere to the card front along with the Copper Clay Textured Ribbon and the small banners.  Add some Neutral Adhesive Backed Sequins to finish.

For the second set of cards, cut the 6" x 6" piece of Designer Series Paper into 2" x 6" strips.  Cut 2 of these strips into 2" x 1" pieces, and the other strip into 2 3/4" x 2" pieces.  You will have a 1/4" x 2" strip left over which can be discarded.

Adhere the 2" x 1" pieces top and bottom to Basic Black mats cut at 2 1/4"x 3".  You will have a gap between the pieces but this is covered by a piece of Copper Clay cardstock cut at 7/8" x 5 1/2".  Create the sentiment panel (the Copper Clay ink was stamped off for the word Hey) and adhere to the card front along with the Copper Clay Textured Ribbon.  Add some Adhesive Backed Metallic Gems to finish.

I hope you enjoyed these 'Stash Buster' projects.

Stash Busting Saturday - Last Chance List

December Card Class Projects

Hi everyone, sharing the projects from my December Card Class.  The ladies made 2 cards and a small gift card holder.

The first card uses the 'Take A Bow' 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper pack.  

The Designer Series Paper is cut at:

    4cm x 12.3cm

    4cm x 4.5cm

    4cm x 7.5cm

The pieces were then adhered to a Thick Basic White card base.  The embellishment and sentiment are from the Reindeer Fun stamp set and dies.  This is one of my favourite bundles in the September - December 2024 Mini Catalogue.  This bundle is now on the Last Chance list so do not miss out if you want to purchase this stamp set and dies.

The second card uses the 'Nests of Winter" 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper along with the Wintery Tree Tops stamp set and dies.  The sentiment is from the Greetings of the Season stamp set.

The final project is a cute little gift card holder (or lotto ticket) made using the Mini Pocket Envelopes Dies, 'Take a Bow' 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper and the Reindeer Fun stamp set and dies.

Once the little pocket was created and embellished it was adhered to a Thick Basic White card base 11cm x 7cm (cut your cardstock at 22cm x 7cm and score at 11cm on the long side).

I had some small Crumb Cake envelopes in my stash from several years ago and the gift card holder fitted inside perfectly.

I hope you enjoyed seeing these projects.

Most of these products are on the Last Chance list so once they have sold out they are discontinued and will no longer be available.  So do not miss out.

Stash Busting Saturday - Reindeer Days 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper

Hi everyone, for this week's 'Stash Buster" I am sharing a great cutting layout to create 12 cards from one sheet of 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper.  

Cut the Designer Series Paper into 10.1cm x 7.6cm pieces, with the 10.1cm being the length of the piece.  Next cut 3.2cm from the bottom of this piece.  Adhere these two pieces to a cardstock mat cut at12.3cm x 8cm, with the larger piece at the top and the small piece at the bottom.  You will have a small gap but this is covered by the sentiment banner.

You can just adhere this panel to the card base or another alternative like I have done is add a layer behind.  The Basic White cardstock mat is cut at 10.5cm x 5.5cm.  2 pieces of the Designer Series Paper were cut at 5cm x 2.5cm.  Adhere a piece either end of the mat, there is a lot of white space left but this is covered by the centre panel.  (Tip: this is a great way to use the small pieces sometimes left over from other projects).

I hope you enjoyed this week's 'Stash Buster' project.

Stash Busting Saturday - Reindeer Days 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper

Stash Busting Saturday - Favored Flowers 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper

Hi everyone, sorry for being a day late in posting my 'Stash Busting Saturday' cards. I actually had intended posting last night as I had been out and about all day yesterday, however when I had another look at my cards I thought that they needed some cosmetic surgery.  All I did was add some leaves and greenery using the Layering Leaves punch and it made all the difference.  The sentiment was a bit lost with just the ribbon behind it and a few Rhinestones added for embellishments.

This is a great layout for using your strips of leftover Designeer Series Paper from other projects.  

You need to cut the Designer Series Paper as follows:

- 4cm x 12.3cm (this is the purple/green flower piece)

- 4cm x 4.5cm (this is the purple patterned piece)

- 4cm x 7.5cm (this is the green patterned piece)

I layered these onto a Basic White Thick cardstock base using dimensionals.  You can decorate how you like.

The sentiment is from the Saying Hey stamp set. The stitched rectangle is from the Nested Essential Dies. The leaves and greenery were punched out using the Layering Leaves punch.

To finish just add some ribbon and rhinestones or other embellishments of your choice.

I hope you enjoyed this week's 'Stash Busting' project.

Stash Busting Saturday - Mediterranean Blooms 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper

Hi everyone, I am back this week with a Saturday Stash Buster after taking a break last week.  I am using the Mediterranean Blooms 12" x12" Designer Series Paper for this week's projects.  

I had strips of the Night of Navy/White patterned Designer Series Paper and the Oranges and Lemon sprays left in the pack along with a lot of sheets of the Blossom and Leaf patterned Designer Series Paper.

I used the Simply Said stamp set for the sentiment as I wanted to make some Birthday Cards for the cards I sell at work for our Cancer Council Relay for Life Team fundraising.  The other stamps used were from the Citrus Blooms stamp set.

The sketch is one from the Annual Catalogue, I just turned it on it's side to change the orientation of the sketch. 

For the first set of cards I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 7.5cm x 11.8cm and added Pumpkin Pie ink using a Blending Brush.  I then stamped the background with an image from the Citrus Bloom stamp set using Pumpkin Pie ink, stamped off once.  The Night of Navy mat was cut at 8cm x 12.3cm.  The banner was cut at 4cm wide and 9.5cm long, I flagged the end to create the banner.

The oranges spray and sentiment were added to finish the card along with some embellishments.

This card uses the Blossoms and Leaf piece of Designer Series Paper.  

The cutting layout is the same, with the only change being the Banner piece was cut at 5cm wide and 9.5cm long.

I hope you enjoyed this week's 'Stash Buster' projects.
