Stash Busting Saturday - Using Up Paper Strips

Hi everyone, it is time for another 'Stash Busting' show and tell.

I am using up a heap of 1.2cm or 1/2" paper strips that I had left over from a previous project using the Bright and Beautiful 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper.   I had a really good feeling when I had used these up as I do not like having a heap of strips and pieces of Designer Series Paper left over.  I made 8 cards using a very simple card design.

To make these cards cut a piece of Basic White Cardstock 7cm x 13.3cm and then adhered the strips on the diagonal until the entire piece is covered.  Adhered this to a Thick Basic White cardbase using dimensionals.

The sentiment is from the Simple Said stamp set and was White heat embossed on a piece of Night of Navy cardstock and then die cut using a circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies.

To finish the cards some Rhinestones were added.

I hope you enjoyed these 'Stash Busting' cards.

June Card Class - Project 2

June Card Class - Project 1

Hi everyone, sharing a set of 4 cards which was one of the projects from my June Card Class.

The four cards are all the same design, just using different sheets of the Thoughful Journey 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper.

I used the Note Cards and Envelopes for these cards.  They make card making so easy.  The stamp set and dies are the Unbounded Love which you can buy in a bundle saving 10%.

You could package these cards into a set and make a small gift to give to someone special.

I hope you enjoyed these cards.

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

Hi everyone, it is time for another 'Stash Busting' show and tell.

This week I have made 12 cards, 4 each of 3 designs, using one sheet of the Mediterranean Blooms 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper.

I needed some Thank You cards for the cards I sell at work for the fundraising efforts of our Cancer Council Relay for Life Team.  The stamp is 'Simply Said'.  This is a great stamp set to have in your collection as it has sentiments that cover most occasion.

I use the same sentiment and embellishments for all the cards to make it quick and simple for myself.

I cut the Designer Series Paper into 3 horizontal strip.  The first strip was cut at 11.8cm x 30.5cm (this is used on Card 3), the second strip was cut at 10.5cm x 30.5cm (this is used on Card 1) and the third strip was cut at 8.2cm x 30.5cm (this is used on Card 2).

The 10.5cm x 30.5cm piece of Designer Series Paper was cut into 4 pieces measuring 7.5cm x 10.5cm (I did have a small piece left which I put in the compost bin).  These pieces were further cut into 3 pieces at 7.5cm x 5.5cm, 7.5cm x 2.5cm and 7.5cm x 2.5cm.  The Basic White cardstock mats were cut at 8cm x 6cm and 8cm x 3cm (2 pieces).

The 8.2cm x 30.5cm strip of Designer Series Paper was cut into 2 pieces 14.85cm x 8.2cm (there was a small piece left which I put in the compost bin).  These 2 pieces were then cut in half horizontally, leaving you with 4 pieces 14.85cm x 4.1cm.  The Basic White cardstock mat was cut at 14.85cm x 5.1cm.  

The card front was embossed to add a little more interest to this card.

The 11.8cm x 30.5cm strip of Designer Series Paper was cut into 4 pieces 7.5cm x 11.8cm (there was a small piece left which I put in the compost bin).  The Basic White cardstock mats were cut at 8cm x 12.3cm.

All the card bases are Night of Navy and the ribbon is Sheer Silver & White Ribbon which I cut in half to get the smaller width for behind my sentiment. To finish the cards I added some Opal Rounds Assortment which match perfectly.  I love this colour combination of the Blue, Orange and Yellow.

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