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.

Reindeer Fun November Card Class Projects

Hi everyone, sharing the projects from my November Class.  The ladies had a great time playing with products from the Reindeer Days Suite.

The Book Treat Boxes make great little gift boxes that fits a gift card, money or a small piece of jewellery.  Just perfect for gift giving.

The Reindeer Days 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper is perfect for card making.  There are several sheets with Reindeer's that you can fussy cut along with a couple that the dies match.

The Reindeer Fun stamp set has some great imagery that you can colour and then die cut using the matching Reindeer Fun die cut for your projects.

I hope you enjoyed seeing these projects.

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.

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

Stash Busting Saturday - Nests of Winter 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper

Hi everyone, for this week's 'Stash Buster' I made 8 cards using the one sheet of the Nests of Winter 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper with no scraps.  I love making cards in bulk with no patterned paper scraps.

I made 2 of each card design.

I cut the Designer Series Paper into 11.8cm x 7.5cm pieces and the Basic White mats at 12.3cm x 8cm. The small piece left from trimming the Designer Series Paper to size I cut into small strips to create the strips of Designer Series Paper on the background panel.  You only need small pieces of Designer Series Paper to create this look as you do not see the part behind the centre panel.

The labels were created using the Simply Said stamp set and the Greetings of the Season Dies.  The Linen Thread is from the Neutral Tones Linen Thread pack.

To finish the cards I added some Smoky Slate Pearls to some cards and Earth Tones Shimmer Gems to others.

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

Stash Busting Saturday - Nests of Winter 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper

Stash Busting Saturday - Bee Mine 12"x 12" Designer Series Paper

Hi everyone, sharing this week's 'Stash Busting' Project.  I have used the Bee Mine 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper and the Bee My Valentine and Saying Hey stamp sets along with the Bee Builder Punch. 

I had several pieces of patterned paper left over from previous projects, so I designed my card around these pieces so that I could use them up. I am not a fan of left over pieces of patterned paper in my stash, they seem to end up on the floor a lot, lol.

I made 5 cards using this design.  The fun part of making these cards was creating the Bees.

To make these cards you need to cut the following:

Basic Black Cardstock mat 8.5cm x 12.6cm

Designer Series Paper 4cm x 4.5cm

Designer Series Paper 4 cm x 7.5cm

Designer Series Paper 4cm x 12.3cm

Basic Black Cardstock 10.5cm x 2.5cm  (flag the ends)

Balmy Blue 2 3/8" Circle

The cardbase is a Basic White Thick Cardstock.

This layout is great for using up the small paper scraps left in your stash.

The ribbon is Sweet Sorbet Bordered Ribbon which was part of the suite when it was released.  This is now retired but I am using up my stash so decided to use it on these cards.  I add some Rhinestones to finish.

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

Stash Busting Saturday - Bee Mine 12"x 12" Designer Series Paper

Stash Busting Saturday - Saying Hey

Hi everyone, just a quick and easy card for this week's 'Stash Buster' project.  I have used the Dandy Designs 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper and the Saying Hey stamp set.

I only made 6 cards as I had some pieces of Designer Series Paper the I was able to use to create these cards, but if you are using a full sheet of Designer Series Paper that coordinates on the other side then you will get 8 cards with the strip leftover being used to decorate the inside of the cards.  So no paper scraps, yey!

To make these cards you will need:

Standard cardbase

Basic White mat 4.8cm x 13.8cm and 3.6cm x 13.8cm

Designer Series Paper 4.4cm x 13.4cm and 3.2cm x 13.4cm

Basic White Square 7cm x 7cm

Balmy Blue Square 6.4cm x 6.4cm

Basic White Square 5.8cm x 5.8cm

The sentiment was stamped using Black Memento ink and Balmy Blue ink.  I did some doodling around the edge of the square with a fine artliner black pen.  It just gave a perfect finish to the sentiment panel.

I added some Glossy Dots that have retired, but I am using up my stash, lol.

I hope you enjoyed this week's project.
