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".
