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.

Cutting Guide for Stash Buster

Stash Busting Saturday - Merry Christmas

Hi everyone, I nearly forgot to post this week's 'Stash Buster'.  I was out doing my veggie garden today so I have muscles I did not know I owned, lol.  I was laying on the lounge nursing my aching muscles and watching Telethon when I realised I had not done my post.

In 2023 the people of Western Australia raised 77.5 million for Telethon which supported 107 beneficiaries, purchasing equipment, funding medical research into childhood diseases and delivering life-changing programs which positively impact the lives of sick, vulnerable and disadvantaged children in Western Australia.  I wonder what the amazing people of Western Australia will achieve this year.

Back to my 'Stash Buster'.  The inspiration for this week's project came from a project I did for a Stamp Camp last weekend.

This got me thinking about using 2 pieces of 6" x 6" coordinating Designer Series Paper and making a set of cards with no scraps.  I managed it, making 6 cards from the 2 pieces of Designer Series Paper.

I will post the cutting layout and the measurements tomorrow, so make sure to visit again if you would like the instructions on how to make these cards.

The card above in the picture is slightly different to the card I made for the cutting layout.  The Gold and Very Vanilla piece in this picture measures 4 1/2" x 1 1/2" when in fact it is 4 1/2" x 3/4".  The card design is the same, just the DSP Panel is slightly narrower.

I made things easy for myself, by using the same focal point and sentiment on all the cards.

I have you enjoyed these 'Stash Busting' projects.

Stash Busting Saturday - Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper

Hi everyone, I had a little break last week from posting my Stash Busting Saturday project, so sorry if you missed seeing my regular post.

This week is a layout using the other piece of the Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper that was created from one of my projects for my September Card Class. I made 6 of these cards.

I cut the 7.5cm x 12.3cm piece of DSP into 3.2cm x 12.3cm, 2.5cm x 12.3cm and 1.8cm x 12.3cm strips and these were adhered to the Misty Moonlight cardstock mat that measures 8.5cm x 12.8cm.  

I then wrapped the baker's twine around the top of the panel before adhering with dimensionals to the Basic White cardstock mat measuring 9.5cm x 13.8cm.  This was then adhered to the card front.

The tag was created using the Simply Said and Greetings of the Season Dies.

I hope you enjoyed this project

Stash Busting Saturday - Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper

September Card Class Project 2

Hi everyone sharing another project from my September card class.

This project uses the Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper.  The stamp set is Simply Said and the dies are Greetings of the Season Dies.

I have cut the DSP into 12.3cm x 2.5cm strips and adhered them to a Misty Moonlight cardstock mat that measures 8.5cm x 12.8cm  Some baker's twine was wrapped around the panel before adhering with dimensionals to the Basic White cardstock mat that measures 9.5cm x 13.8cm.  

The tag was created and tied in place to the baker's twine that was wrapped around the panel.

I hope you enjoyed this project.  Make sure to visit again tomorrow as I have another card design using the other half of this DSP. The long strip that was created when cutting the DSP to size I used to decorate the inside of the cards.
