Hi everyone, hands up those craft-a-holics that have a heap of Designer Series Paper and never seem to get around to using it. I will put my hand up as a serial offender.
I bought the 'Come to Gather' Designer Series Paper Pack months ago and have only made one card with it. So I set myself a little challenge to use a piece 6" x 12" and see what I could create. Not sure if I should call this is a half sheet wonder or not, lol.
Something Retiring - 'Come to Gather' Designer Series Paper
Something Brown - Early Espresso Cardstock and ink
Something Current - Daisy Lane Stamp Set, Medium Daisy Punch
Something New - Label Me Bold Stamp Set
All the cards use the same basic elements, the only change is the card sketch and the background label or circle.
I cut the piece of Designer Series Paper into the following sizes for the cards
- 4 pieces 5.1cm x 14.8cm
- 2 pieces 5.1cm x 10.5cm
- 1 piece 5.1cm x 10.1cm
I have used a colour theme of Early Espresso, Whisper White and Gold for all the cards.
The sentiments are from the new 'Label Me Bold' stamp set. I have only used the Happy Birthday and the Congratulations stamps in the set, but there are five more sentiments and five other stamps that are great for creating backgrounds.
I have used dies from the 'In The Woods' and 'Frosted Frames' dies.
The daisy flower centres are the Gold Faceted Gems, these are great for flower centres.
The Gold Glitter Enamel Dots are from the 'Christmas Time is Here' suite, they perfectly match the Gold part of the card theme.
A Linen Thread Bow was added to finish.
I had a lot of fun making these cards, and the good thing is that I can make another one of each from the other piece of 6" x 12" Designer Series Paper. That is 14 cards from the one 12" x 12" sheet of patterned paper.
You can buy everything now (apart from the Label Me Bold stamp set). The Designer Series Paper is retiring at the end of December so do not miss out.
