Plentiful Plants

Hi everyone, sharing some cards I have made using the Calypso Coral and Petal Pink sheets of patterned paper from the Subtles 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper Assortment.  I had 4 sheets of the Calypso Coral and 2 sheets of Petal Pink with some small scraps left in the paper pack.

I decided to cut the Calypso Coral sheets into 12.3cm x 5.1cm pieces.  You will get 3 pieces from each sheet.  I then cut the 2 sheets of Petal Pink into 12.3cm x 2.5cm piece.  You get 6 strips from each sheet.  I had enough pieces to make 12 cards.  I matted the patterned paper onto Early Espresson mats cut at 12.8cm x 5.5cm and 12.8cm x 2.9cm. 

The card fronts were embossed before adhering the matted pattern paper to the card fronts.  I decided to make 6 cards using the Dragonfly Garden stamp set and the Dragonflies punch.  

The other 6 cards were made using the Nature's Harvest and the Harvest Dies.

Remember I mentioned I had some small scraps left in the paper pack and I also created some strips 2.9cm x 15.2cm when I was cutting the patterned paper for my cards.  I cut these into 2.9cm x 5cm pieces and created 2 cards using the Plentiful Plants stamp set and Perfect Plants dies.

I hope you enjoyed these projects.

Plentiful Plants

Just a Little Note

Hi everyone, sharing some projects that I made using the Dandy Garden Designer Series Paper.  I am still keeping my promise to myself to use my stash of Designer Series Paper instead of hoarding it. I use 3 sheets of 3 designs for these cards.  

The stamp set I have used on these projects is from the Hello Dear Friend All Inclusive Card Kit.  This is one of the things I really like about these card kits is that when you have made up all the cards you still have a great stamp set to use time and time again.

The cards are all the same theme and colour scheme (Misty Moonlight, Bumblebee and Basic White) just changing the layout to get the best out of the 6" x 6" pieces of patterned paper.

For Card 1 (you will get 3 cards of this design) I cut the Designer Series Paper at

• Misty Moonlight DSP 4 1/2" x 1" or 11.4cm x 2.5cm
• Bumblebee Striped DSP 5" x 2" or 12.7cm x 5.1cm
• Bee DSP 4" x 1 5/8" or 10.2cm x 4.2cm

For Card 2 (you will get 4 cards of this design) I cut the Designer Series Paper at

• Misty Moonlight DSP 2" x 4" or 5.1cm x 10.2cm
• Bumblebee Striped DSP 1 1/4" x 5" or 3.2cm x 12.7cm
• Bee DSP 1" x 5" or 2.5cm x 12.7cm

For Card 3 (you will get 4 cards of this design) I cut the Designer Series Paper at

• Misty Moonlight DSP 2" x 4" or 5.1cm x 10.2cm
• Bumblebee Striped DSP 3/4" x 2 1/2" or 1.9cm x 6.4cm (you only need a small piece for either side behind the other pieces, no need for a large piece that goes across the card as it is hidden.  This way you get more out of your patterned paper)
• Bee DSP 1 1/2" x 5" or 3.8cm x 12.7cm (keep the 1" strip left for Card 2)

For the Card 1 (you will get 3 cards of this design) I cut the Designer Series Paper at

• Misty Moonlight DSP 2" x 3" or 5.1cm x 7.6cm
• Bumblebee Striped DSP 3 1/2" x 2" or 8.9cm x 5.1cm
• Bee DSP 2" x 5" or 5.1cm x 12.7cm (keep the 1" strip left for Card 2)

You will have some small pieces left, but not a lot.  You could decorate the inside of the cards with these if you wished.  I decorated the inside of my cards with the small group of Dragonflies from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set.  I stamped this image on the bottom right corner using Bumblebee ink on a piece of Basic White cardstock which was then adhered in place for the card inside.

Just a Little Note

Dandy Garden

Hi everyone, sharing a set of cards I made using 3 pieces of the 6" x 6" Dandy Garden Designer Series Paper and other products from the Dandy Garden Suite available in the January-June 2021 Mini Catalogue.

I ended up making 8 cards from the 3 pieces of patterned paper.  I chose a colour combination of Mossy Meadow, Bumblebee and Whisper White.

This card uses one of the elements from the Dandy Laser-Cut Paper pack which I layered the sentiment onto.

This card also uses some of the elements from the Dandy Laser-Cut Paper which I have tucked behind the sentiment panel.  I made 2 of these cards and the card sketch is a great one for using small pieces of patterned paper.

Stamping the butterflies with Bumblebee ink on the Whisper White background broke up with large expanse of white space.  You could emboss this piece if you wanted but I decided to do a little stamping instead.

The Designer Series Paper either side of the centre panel is only two small pieces either side, it is not a large piece that goes across the card front.  I had a small piece of Designer Series Paper 5.2cm x 6.4cm in size so decided to cut it in half lengthwise and use a piece either side of the centre panel.  You would never know that it was made from a scrap piece of patterned paper. Just like magic.

This is a card sketch that I have used before and I just love. I made 3 of these cards.  This card layout is great if you are doing a class or wanting to make a lot of the same cards.

Hope you enjoyed seeing these cards using the Dandy Garden Suite.
