I loved the soft colors in this kit, and each card base gave you three possible patterns to use. I used my Heart Punch Pack with the scalloped edge one of the hearts to help with these designs. I just love when there is lots of material on which to use my imagination. I love the challenge of these kits, figuring out what else to make.
Measurements and Supplies for todays, January 2022 Paper Pumpkin Alternatives
In addition to the kit supplies, I used Very Vanilla, Basic White, and Blushing Bride Cardstock. I also used the heart scalloped punch.
These two projects are a little different. I thought I would share the Post It Notes Projects that I make all year long and keep on hand in my gift cabinet. It is so handy to have a little something to take to someone or take as a hostess gift, I just love them and there are so many choices. They are a great way to use up DSP scraps and anytime I cut extras from a die for a card design. I also sell these at craft fairs at Christmas time.
The DSP Project is also something I make quite often. Many times the stamp set using similar colors as the matching DSP gives inspiration to this kind of Project. Especially if you hold card classes; you often need a bit more paper of one design or another than comes in a packet. It is a simple solution and sometimes I have the card class participants make the paper so they can repeat the process as home. It can be a fun project and a different way to use your supplies.
Measurements and Supplies for todays, Making DSP and Covered Note Project:
DSP
I used a sheet of Basic White Cardstock
Note Project
I used:
• 1 piece of Color Cardstock to match my DSP 7” by 3 ¼”, Scored at 3 ¼” and 3 ¾”
• DSP Scraps, Ribbon Scrap, Embellishments
Supplies: Various depending on the DSP and Cardstock used.
I just love things framed and this card gave me a way to make frames that reveal flowers on the inside of the card, great fun. Because you can see through the card you may want to add a plain panel to the back of this one on which to write your personal message. I love the combination of Pale Papaya and Evening Evergreen. These “in-colors” are some of my favorites
Measurements and Supplies for todays, Natures Harvest Healing Thoughts Card:
The Card Base is Pale Papaya 8 ½” by 5 ½”, scored 4 ¼”
I used:
• 1 piece of Heart & Home DSP cut 5” by 3 ¾”
• 1 piece of Basic White 4” by 5 ¼”, plus enough scrap to stamp and cut the flower and the sentiment
• 1 piece of Evening Evergreen 4” by 5 ¼”
This card was so much fun, it can be made four different ways using the same two or three pieces of Paper. I saw this design on Patty Bennet’s blog and new I had to make my version of it. I made this a Card Class Project and darned if they didn’t come up with another way to fold this one. If you have lots of left over DSP this is a great way to make a bunch of cards quite simple with stunning results. It makes a four, three, and two panel design as well as a single or double pocket card. What a great design. I know that my Cards class folks had a great time with this one, and I may try to come up with a design for Christmas this next year using this idea.
Measurements and Supplies for todays, Fun Fold Birthday Card Made 4 Ways
The Card Base is Old Olive 4 ¼” by 5 ½”, any complimentary Card color to match your DSP will work
I used:
• 1 piece of DSP cut 5 ¼” by 11 ¾”, mind the orientation of your pattern when cutting this paper
• 1 piece of Basic White cut a ‘tick’ under 3” by 5”
Sometimes a stamp set just cries out for a monochromatic color scheme and this Calming Camelia Set did just that. Using the Stamp set in combination with the blending brush gives this a feel of Vintage Designer Paper; I just love the way it came out. In the end this is quite a simple card to make and uses minimal supplies.
