Stash Busting Saturday - Peach Pie

Hi everyone, sharing this week's Stash Busting project.  I have been working my way through my pack of 2024-2026 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper Assortment and I selected 2 sheets of the Peach Pie patterned Designer Series Paper along with a leftover strip that measured 6" x 1 1/2".

I made 6 cards by cutting the the Designer Series Paper into 3" x 1 1/2" pieces and adhering these to a Basic White mat cut at 8cm x 12.3cm.  These were then adhered to the Peach Pie card bases using dimensionals.

I decorated the card using the Flowers of Beauty stamp set and dies.  The sentiment is from Simply Said stamp set.

I added some Linen Thread and Pearls to finish the cards.

I hope you enjoyed this week's Stash Buster.

Stash Busting Saturday - Peach Pie

Stash Busting Saturday - Mediterranean Blooms 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper

Hi everyone, I am back this week with a Saturday Stash Buster after taking a break last week.  I am using the Mediterranean Blooms 12" x12" Designer Series Paper for this week's projects.  

I had strips of the Night of Navy/White patterned Designer Series Paper and the Oranges and Lemon sprays left in the pack along with a lot of sheets of the Blossom and Leaf patterned Designer Series Paper.

I used the Simply Said stamp set for the sentiment as I wanted to make some Birthday Cards for the cards I sell at work for our Cancer Council Relay for Life Team fundraising.  The other stamps used were from the Citrus Blooms stamp set.

The sketch is one from the Annual Catalogue, I just turned it on it's side to change the orientation of the sketch. 

For the first set of cards I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 7.5cm x 11.8cm and added Pumpkin Pie ink using a Blending Brush.  I then stamped the background with an image from the Citrus Bloom stamp set using Pumpkin Pie ink, stamped off once.  The Night of Navy mat was cut at 8cm x 12.3cm.  The banner was cut at 4cm wide and 9.5cm long, I flagged the end to create the banner.

The oranges spray and sentiment were added to finish the card along with some embellishments.

This card uses the Blossoms and Leaf piece of Designer Series Paper.  

The cutting layout is the same, with the only change being the Banner piece was cut at 5cm wide and 9.5cm long.

I hope you enjoyed this week's 'Stash Buster' projects.

Stash Busting Saturday - Mediterranean Blooms 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper

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 - 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 Card Class Project 2

August Class Project 1 - Winged Gatefold Card

Hi everyone, sharing one of the cards from my August Class.  It is a Winged Gatefold card using the Mediterranean Blooms Designer Series Paper.  I am not sure who created this fun fold, however I found it on a Youtube video by Sharon Armstrong TX Stampin.

For all the directions and measurements if you watch Sharon's video these will all be given as she makes her card. There are 4 fun folds in her video, it is the last one. 

I love the finished look of the card, using one of my favourite packs of Designer Series Paper, Mediterranean Blooms.

The stamp sets used are Simply Said, Citrus Blooms and Layering Leaves.

I hope you enjoyed this project.  I know that the ladies loved creating it.

Stash Busting Saturday - 2024-2026 In Color 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper

Hi everyone, for this week's 'Stash Buster' I have used the 2024-2026 In Color 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper Assortment.

I made 4 cards using 2 sheets of patterned paper.  I selected the Peach Pie colour as I really liked the contrast with the Basic Black and Basic White.  I did do some doodling on the patterned paper by outlining the flowers and leaves in black.

The long strip was cut at 1 1/2" x 4" and the 3 smaller pieces were cut at 2 1/2" x 1".  I love this layout as it is very quick and easy.

The sentiment is from the Simply Said stamp set.

I hope you enjoyed this week's 'Stash Buster' cards.

Stash Busting Saturday - 2024-2026 In Color 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper

Stash Busting Saturday - Doggone Friendly

Hi everyone, sorry I am a day late posting this week's Stash Busting Saturday projects.  I fractured the knuckle on the ring finger on my left hand and it has slowed my crafting down a little bit. I am off to the Hand and Upper Limb Clinic on Tuesday for a finger splint and physiotheraphy, so hopefully back on track soon.

For this week's 'Stash Busting' show and tell I have used the Doggone Friendly stamp set along with the Country Lace 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper.

I had a strip that was 4cm x 30.5cm left over from another project, so I cut it into 4 pieces that measured 4cm x 7.6cm.  I matted these onto a Basic Black cardstock mat cut at 7.5cm x 8.1cm.  The piece stamped with the Doggone Friendly stamp set measures 7.5cm x 12.8cm and the Basic Black cardstock mat measures 8cm x 13.3cm.

The strip of Basic Black behind the sentiment circle measures 9cm x 2cm.  The sentiment is from the Simply Said stamp set.

I hope you enjoyed this week's 'Stash Busting' project.

Stash Busting Saturday - Using Up Paper Strips

Hi everyone, it is time for another 'Stash Busting' show and tell.

I am using up a heap of 1.2cm or 1/2" paper strips that I had left over from a previous project using the Bright and Beautiful 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper.   I had a really good feeling when I had used these up as I do not like having a heap of strips and pieces of Designer Series Paper left over.  I made 8 cards using a very simple card design.

To make these cards cut a piece of Basic White Cardstock 7cm x 13.3cm and then adhered the strips on the diagonal until the entire piece is covered.  Adhered this to a Thick Basic White cardbase using dimensionals.

The sentiment is from the Simple Said stamp set and was White heat embossed on a piece of Night of Navy cardstock and then die cut using a circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies.

To finish the cards some Rhinestones were added.

I hope you enjoyed these 'Stash Busting' cards.

Stash Busting Saturday - Using Up Paper Strips

Stash Busting Saturday - Mediterranean Blooms 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper

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".

Stash Busting Saturday - Mediterranean Blooms 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper

Stash Busting Saturday - Favored Flowers 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper

Hi everyone, sorry I am a day late posting my Stash Busting Saturday cards.  I was not feeling very well yesterday or this morning, so did not get around to doing the post.

For this week's Stash Busting Saturday cards I have selected the Favored Flowers 12" x 12"Designer Series Paper.  I have had this paper pack in my stash for awhile and it is currently on the Clearance Rack in the Online Store, so I thought I would give you a little inspiration on how to use this paper pack.

I had previously fussy cut the flowers from one of the sheets of patterned paper and I had 5 of the large flowers left so naturally I just had to use those, lol (less work for me).  

The card sketch I am using is Mojo Monday #444.  I cut the pieces of Designer Series Paper at 3.8cm x 7.5cm (1 1/2" x 3").  You will need 2 of one design and 1 of another design.  For the centre piece on my cards I actually used the small pieces left over from fussy cutting the flowers.  As the large flower covers the centre of this piece you can get away with using the left over smaller pieces.

I made 5 of these cards, using the large flowers that I had already fussy cut.  The stamp set I used is a new one called Simply Said which is the new 2024/2025 Annual Catalogue.

I hope you enjoyed this week's 'Stash Buster'.
