95 Cards - All Together 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper Pack

Hi everyone, sharing the cards I made using the All Together 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper Pack.  I used the entire paper pack making 95 cards.  This took be about 72 hours which includes finding the sketches I used and also working out some cards that I designed myself to use up the smaller pieces of patterned paper.  Sometimes deciding what to do takes up the most time, lol. 

This is what 95 cards look like, they are in piles where the cards are the same.


To make it a bit easier for myself I decided to use a colour scheme of Gray Granite, Basic Black and Basic White.  I also kept the stamp sets, dies and punches the same through out the cards.  The stamp sets I used are Biggest Wish, Art Gallery, Daisy Lane, Celebrating You and Peaceful Moments.  The dies and punches I used are Painted Label Dies, Penned Flowers Dies, Layering Circle Dies, Floral Gallery Dies, Stitched Stars Dies, Basic Border Dies, Bough Punch, Medium Daisy Punch and Banners Pick a Punch.

The first 6 cards are mini slimline cards.  I really enjoyed making these sized cards and they were great to use the small strips and pieces of patterned paper.   Where the patterned paper was showing I used small off cuts, no need to worry about putting patterned paper where it was going to be covered up.  A great way to use up the small pieces of paper.  

The first two cards are my designs.  I made two each of these cards, just changing out the patterned paper to get the best use out of the remaining strips and small pieces.

For this next card I used Mojo Monday Sketch #275.  I just left out the strip that was going across the card and I used a rectangle instead of a square on one of the pieces.  I made two of these cards


This next card also uses a Mojo Monday Sketch, #552.  I made two of these cards.

These next two card layouts I cased off Call Me Crafty Al who does a Sheetload of Cards each month.  I have become addicted to watching her on Youtube.  This is where I first came across the mini slimline cards.  I made two of this design

and I made 4 of this design.

This next card uses Sketch CCMC685 from Create with Connie and Mary. I cased this card from Loritamariecrafts.  I few small changes but the bulk of the card design I cased.  There is nothing wrong with getting a little inspirational help along the way, right!  I made six of these cards.

This next card just came together when I was playing around with some small strips of patterned paper.  I made 4 of these cards.

This card is a great masculine card.  It uses Mojo Monday Sketch #406. I made 4 of these cards.

I must really like Mojo Monday sketches, lol.  This card uses Mojo Monday Sketch #491.  I made two of these cards.

I made four of the next card using Freshly Made Sketches #207.  This card layout is great to use up the small strips and pieces of patterned paper.

I am sure that there is a card sketch owner out there somewhere who designed this one, but it came together when I was playing around with how to get the best out of a 6" x 6" piece of patterned paper.  I made 4 of this card design.

Same design just different embellishments and finishes.  I made four of this card.

I think that this next card sketch is from Just Add Ink.  I have used this sketch before but could not find a reference to where I found it.  I know that I did not desing the card sketch, but how I used the sketch is my creation.  I made 4 of these cards.


Again I am sure that there is a card sketch out there somewhere but I put this one together trying to use up the small pieces I had left.  This was actually my third last card I made.  I made two of these cards.

I made three of this card design using the Mojo Monday Sketch #440.

Using the same Mojo Monday Sketch #440 I made six of the next card.

This next card uses a card sketch from My Favourite Things #261.  I made two of these cards.


Another card sketch cased from Call Me Crafty Al.  

I know that this next card sketch is a Mojo Monday Sketch but I forgot to write the number down and now I cannot find it.  I made two of these cards.

Same sketch as above, just a different colour way.  I made two of these cards.

This one is totally my design, created using up all the small left over pieces.  I only made one of this card.


The next three cards are made using the Cut and Shuffle technique.  I made six cards in total, two of each colour design.  I am pretty sure that I originally found this idea on Call Me Crafty Al Youtube channel.



Another Call Me Crafty Al design.  I made two of these cards.

I made three of the next card using the Create with Connie and Mary Sketch CCMC709.  This card sketch is a great way to use 3" x 2" pieces of patterned paper.

I have no idea who created this card sketch.  I have seen a lot of cards on Pinterest with this layout but no reference to where it originated from.  So if it is your design, thank you so much as I just love it.  Great for masculine cards.

I made six cards this colour way

and four cards this colour way.

I am getting down to the last little bits of patterned paper with this card.  This is the second last card I made using 1" squares of patterned paper.  I made three of these cards, all with different patterns on the paper.

This is my last card design, I made two of these cards.  


And this is the small pile of pattern paper pieces I had left.  They were so small I could not do anything with them.


I hope you enjoyed all thes cards made using the All Together 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper.  

Thank you for visiting.

Daisy Lane Gift Box

 Hi everyone, sharing the last of the projects from last week's class.  This one is a little gift box decorated with the Daisy Lane Stamp Set.


The box lid was made from Window Sheet which was then decorated using the Daisy Lane stamp set and the Medium Daisy Punch.  The box lid slots inside the box base.

The Gold Foil Sheet centre panel was die cut using the Ornate Layers dies and a piece of Whisper White cardstock was adhered in place after the leaf image was stamp using Old Olive ink.

The box base was made using Merry Merlot cardstock, so I stamp the Daisies to match using Merry Merlot ink.  I layered two of the daisies together to get the finished flower.  The flower centres are Gold Glitter Enamel Dots.  The word 'Friend' was white heat embossed before being fussy cut and adhered to the centre panel using Dimensionals.

To a friend ...

Hi everyone, sharing a card I made using the Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper Pack along with the Daisy Lane and    Forever Fern stamp sets.


The card base is Poppy Parade, this picks up one of the colours in the piece of patterned paper.  

The daisy flowers were made using the Daisy Lane stamp set.  The small daisy image was stamped using Crumb Cake ink (stamped off once) and punched out using the Medium Daisy punch.  Two of the flowers were adhered together with the Daffodil Delight centre being made using the Magnolia Memory dies.

The Whisper White background piece was embossed using the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder.

I love the fresh look of this card with the Poppy Parade and Whisper White colour scheme with a dash of from the patterned paper and the daisy centres.

Best Dressed Designer Series Paper - Day 7

Hi everyone, sharing the project for Day 7 (and the final day) of the Best Dressed Designer Series Paper cards.


These two cards I made using one of my favourite sketches for using a 6" x 6" piece of patterned paper.  I cut the paper into 2" x 3" pieces so you can get 6 cards from the one piece of paper.


I made 3 each of these two cards, 3 using Lovely Lipstick as a card base and the other 3 using Old Olive as a card base.

Again decorated using my favourite daisy flowers.

Hope you enjoyed my 7 days of Best Dressed Designer Series Paper projects.

Thank you for visiting.

Best Dressed Designer Series Paper - Day 3

Hi everyone, sharing the project for Day 3 of the Best Dressed Designer Series Paper cards.


These two cards use the one sheet of paper, I cut the length of the paper to 12.8cm which left enough for two strips for the inside cards.  

For card 1 the width of the paper is 6.8cm and for card 2 it is 8.5cm.


The daisy flowers were created using one of my favourite stamp sets Daisy Lane with the coordinating Medium Daisy Punch.

The labels on each card were created using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies with the sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set.

Thank you for visiting.

Best Dressed Designer Series Paper - Day 1

Hi everyone, I shared sometime over the weekend crafting with a group of lovely ladies.  We made sure that we did the social distancing bit and it was really great to get together and spend sometime away from home.

I decided to make cards using the Best Dressed Designer Series Paper that is retiring.  I have two packs of this paper so I decided to sit down to see what I could create.   Over the next 7 days I will be posting the cards that I have made using this gorgeous paper.  


I really love the Daisy Lane stamp set and the coordinating Medium Daisy Punch as it makes creating gorgeous flowers for your projects so easy.

The sentiment for this card is from the Peaceful Moments stamp set.


These two cards were made using a couple of left over pieces of the Best Dressed Designer Series Paper.  I love the fresh look of the yellow daisies with the soft patterned paper.

The sentiment on card 2 is from the Label Me Bold stamp set, another favourite of mine which I am sad to say is also retiring.  

Thank you for visiting.

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mum's out there.  I got to see my Mum today at the Nursing Home, I was only allowed to visit for one hour but it was such a blessing that I got to see my Mum on this special day.  

This is the card that I made for my Mum using the Best Dressed Designer Series Paper, the Ornate Layers Dies, Leaf Punch, Medium Daisy Punch, Daisy Lane and the Timeless Tulips stamp set.  I certainly used a smorgasbord of products.  Mum loved the finished card saying how pretty it looked.


The Best Dressed Designer Series Paper and the Leaf Punch are retiring at the end of May 2020 so do not miss out on these great products.

Just Wanted to Say ....

Hi everyone, sharing some cards I made to send out to a few friends and family during this time of social distancing.  I miss seeing everyone, but thought I could send a little note to keep in touch.


For my cards I used the Ornate Gardens Specialty Designer Series Paper, the Ornate Thanks stamp set, Ornate Layers Dies, Daisy Lane stamp set, Medium Daisy Punch and the Leaf Punch.

I really like the saying 'just wanted to say' as you can then lead into what you want to say inside the card.  I have just stamped some daisies inside my card for decoration, but you could stamp another sentiment such as 'Thanks' from the same stamp set or 'Happy Birthday' from another stamp set.  You could make these cards and have them on hand for any occasion.


The base card is Early Espresso with a Whisper White mat behind the Designer Series Paper.  This colour combination is Early Espresso and Terracotta Tile.


The next two cards have the new colour Bumblebee in the Designer Series Paper and as this ink colour is not yet available (coming soon) I used So Saffron to stamp the daisy flowers.


I got 6 cards from each 12" x 12" piece of Designer Series Paper, so I have quite a little stash of cards to send out.  I just need to sit down and write my message to everyone.


Did you notice the centre of the daisies, these are the new Gilded Gems.  Just perfect for adding a little bit of bling.

Easter Basket for Mum ...

Hi everyone, what are you all doing to keep busy at home?


I decorated an Easter Basket and made a card for my Mum who is in a Nursing Home.


I used the Daisy Lane stamp set along with the Daisy, Medium Daisy and Leaf Punches.  The flowers were stamped with Melon Mambo, Gorgeous Grape and Daffodil Delight ink on Whisper White cardstock before being punched out.  To flowers were layered together to form the flower and a Clear Faceted Gem was added for the flower centres.  The leaves are made using the Leaf Punch and Granny Apple Green cardstock.



For the card I used the new Orante Floral 3D Embossing Folder and Ornate Layers Dies along with one of the flowers made the same as for the basket.  The 'Easter Greetings' is from the Fable Friends stamp set, this was stamped using Black Memento ink and die cut using the Ornate Frames Dies.

I cannot visit my Mum at the moment, but we can drop things off for our loved ones.  The Nursing Home set up a drop off box for us so we do not have to go into the facility. I put enough chocolates and Easter Eggs in Mum's basket so she can share with the Carers that are doing such a great job of looking after her. I know that Mum likes to share her chocolates so I made sure she had enough to go around. 

I did a quick 25 minute round trip to drop it off this morning, I did not see another person apart of those driving around. It is a very strange feeling not interacting with people, but this is the new normal for a while yet.
