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

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.

September Class Project 1

Hi everyone, sharing one of the projects from my September card class, which is a Cascade Card.


How to make this card

Base                         24cm x 10.5cm scored at 2.5, 5, 19 & 21.5cm
Mechanism              6.5cm x 7.5cm scored on the 6.5cm side at 2 & 4.5cm (x 2)
Large Panels            7cm x 9cm (x2)
Small Panels            5.5cm x 7.5cm (x2)
DSP Large Panels    6.5cm x 8.5cm (x2)
DSP Small Panels    5cm x 7cm (x2)
Inside                       13.5cm x 10cm
 
 
Technique
 
1.       Measure down 1.5cm from top edge on both side and cut to the first score line and then cut on the diagonal to the top of the 2nd score line.
 
2.       Fold mechanism pieces into valley, mountain & valley folds to form a zig zag shape (Note: the ends are shorter than the middle to prevent ‘bulk’ when attached to the card).
 
3.       Adhere the mechanisms in place on both sides by lining up the bottom edges and place the folded edge so it is just slightly over the outside edge of the base.  This will allow the panels to line up neatly with the side edges of the card.
 
4.       Add DSP to the panels then adhere the panels in place.  TIP:  is it easier to add adhesive to the mechanism rather than onto the back of the panel.
 
5.       Stamp the tree using Mossy Meadow and die cut.  Adhere to the front right hand side panel using dimensionals.
 
6.       Die cut the pieces from Gold Foil Sheet for the bow and the star.  Adhere the bow pieces together using glue dots, curling the pieces of the bow that fold over with the bone folder.  Adhere the bow to the front left hand side panel using a glue dot and add the star to the tree.
 
7.       Stamp Merry Christmas on Very Vanilla cardstock using Mossy Meadow ink and cut out.  Back these pieces onto Old Olive cardstock and adhere to the front panels.  Using dimensionals on Merry, Christmas is adhered with glue or tape.
 
8.       For the inside, stamp the small trees on the bottom left corner using Mossy Meadow ink.  Adhere this pieces to the card inside.

I hope you enjoyed this cascading card.

Stash Busting Saturday - Sunny Days 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper

Hi everyone, sharing this week's 'Stash Busting' project.  I have made 6 cards using the Sunny Days 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper pack.  This pack is on the Stampin' Up! Clearance Rack and is a great price at only $8.70 for the pack.


To made this card the Designer Series Paper for the background is cut at 14.85cm x 7cm,  You could use a piece of cardstock here if you wanted to save on Designer Series Paper. The flower pattern is 12.7cm x 5.1cm and the Pool Party diagonal stripe is 12.7cm x 2.5cm.  The Basic Black mats were cut 4mm larger.


The sentiment is from the Textured Floral stamp set and the circles were cut using the circles in the Stylish Shapes Dies.  The ribbon behind the sentiment circle is Iridescent Striped Trim.

I must aplogies to whomever created this sketch as I did not write it down at the time that I first saw this sketch used.  

I hope you enjoyed this project.

Stash Busting Saturday - Ephemera Packs

Hi everyone, for this week's 'Stash Buster' show and tell and have used the Ephemera Packs.  I mixed and match items from the 4 packs on my cards.  I made 8 cards 2 of 4 designs.

I was a bit short on time this week, so these Ephemera Packs were the ideal go to item in my stash to make my cards for this week.


For my first card I created the background using some strips of Basic Black cardstock from my stash which I adhered to a piece of Basic White cardstock.




I just added some extra pieces of Designer Series Paper and cardstock pieces to create the layers for my cards.  Sometimes just adding a cardstock circle or a strip of cardstock makes all the difference.

I hope you enjoyed these projects.

Stash Busting Saturday - Mini Slimline

Hi everyone, for this week's 'Stash Buster' I have made 8 mini slimline cards using the Call Me Crafty Al September 2024 Sheetload of Cards template.  One of the Collaboration Team is Ashleigh from Mint Twist Cards and Ashleigh adapted the cutting layout to use less Designer Series Paper.  I used Ashleigh's cutting measurements as I had some strips of 12" x 3" pieces of Designer Series Paper from the Nature's Sweetness 12" x 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper that I wanted to use.


I used the Lovely & Sweet stamp set and dies, along with the Pecan Pie card bases to make the 8 cards.  I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock 3 1/4" x 6" for the inside to which I adhered the 1 3/4" x 6" piece of Designer Series Paper.  This gave an area of Basic White cardstock to write a message.


I hope you enjoyed this week's 'Stash Buster' and please go and check out Call Me Crafty Al's video here.
