Hi everyone, I have been using up my stash of Designer Series Paper making cards for the Nursing Home that took such good care of my Mum and also for the cards I sell at work with the proceeds going to the Council Council of WA.
I have used up my stash of Abstract Beauty Designer Series Paper. This is currently available on the clearance rack for $10.40 AUD. I had two partially used packs and ended up making 125 cards over a two week period.
This is just some of the cards I made, I made multiples of the same design. The paper scraps were kept to a minimum, I managed to use up most the off cuts and small strips, there were a few small pieces left but these were too small to use. I used some of the small strips to decorate the inside of the cards.
This card design I cased from
Call Me Crafty Al's January 2023 Sheetload of Cards. Alisha's card design is for a Mini Slimline, I just adjusted the measurements for a normal sized card.
This card design is one that I have used a lot as it uses the 2.5cm x 10.2cm strips which a quite often left from projects. The sketch is 'As You See It Challenge' sketch #254.
This card sketch is from
Try Stampin' On Tuesday, it is sketch number #305. This card is one of my favourites.
This sketch from My Favouorite Things is great for using small pieces of Designer Series Paper as the centre strip covers any gaps that are created by adhering the 2.5cm x 5.1cm pieces to the cardstock mats which are cut at 8cm x 5.1cm. The centre strip mat is cut at 13.5cm x 3.3cm and the small pieces of Designer Series Paper cut at 5.1cm x 2.9cm. I made 3 of these cards using all the small off cuts and strips.
This card design is based on Call Me Crafty Al's February 2022 Sheetload of cards template. I individually matted the strips instead of adhering the strips onto a larger piece of cardstock.
I have used the Mojo Monday Sketch #444 for this card. I love using card sketches as it makes card making a lot easier.
This another card design using the Call Me Crafty Al's February 2022 Sheetload of cards template. This sketch is great for using strips of Designer Series Paper. It is also a great sketch to use for the larger sentiments on your cards
This is a real scrappy card, using all the small left over strips. I do not know where this idea originated as I have seen a lot of these cards on Pinterest.
This card uses Mojo Monday Sketch #323. The Designer Series Paper was cut at 7cm x 12.7cm, the mat was cut at 7.4cm x 13.1cm, the sentiment is a 4cm x 3cm rectangle die cut using the Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies and the circle is 5cm cut using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I used the 3.2cm x 15.2cm strip on the next card.
For this card cut the 3.2cm x 15.2cm strips (I used 6 strips which made 4 cards) into 3.2cm x 7.6cm pieces and adhere these onto mats cut at 3.6cm x 8cm. Cut the Designer Series Paper strip for the centre at 7cm x 2.5cm and 5.5cm x 2.5cm (I used 8 pieces of 2.5cm x 10.2cm), and the mat at 3cm x 13cm. There were some small strips left which I used to decorate the inside of the cards.
This card sketch is from
Jess Crafts. Jess has some great sketches and cutting guides to get the most out of your Desinger Series Paper. I changed the measurements so you could get two cards from one piece of 10.2cn x 15.2cm (6" x 4") piece of Designer Series Paper. I cut the piece in half on the 15.2cm edge so you end up with two pieces 7.6cm x 10.2cm (3" x 4"). Cut this piece into 3 pieces one at 7.6cm x 6cm and 2 pieces 7.6cm x 2.1cm.
These cards were made using another sketch from
Jess Crafts. It is Jess Crafts 6" x 6" Paper Buster #4.
I made 16 cards using this sketch, 8 of each colour way. The tag was created using the Celebrate With Tags stamp set and the Celebrations Tag Dies.
The card is based on the January 2023 Mini Slimline template from Call Me Crafty Al. I have adjusted the sizing to create normal sized cards.
I made 6 of these cards, 3 in each colour way using the left over pieces from the previous project.
I made 6 of these cards using the Mojo Monday Sketch #323. Instead of a sold piece of Designer Series Paper I used the smaller left over pieces from the previous projects.
This card sketch is from
Try Stampin' On Tuesday, it is sketch number #305. I just moved where the sentiment was situated on the card design.
This is totally a scrap design using the left over strips. I made 8 of these cards.
I have no idea if this is a card sketch I created or adapted from another sketch, however if is I have not been able to find where it came from. It is great for using 10.2cm x 15.2cm (4" x 6") Desinger Series Paper Packs.
Cut the Designer series paper at 9.3cm x 5.1cm and the cardsock mat at 9.6cm x 5.4cm, the next layer you can use Desinger Series Paper or cardstock cut at 11.3cm x 7.1cm and the cardstock mat at 11.6cm x 7.4cm
Hope you enjoyed these projects using the Abstract Beauty Designer Series Paper.
