Currently, cards that I am making are using some of the beautiful Designer Series Papers that are retiring. I am so sad, many of these are favorites. I was in need of a get well card for a friend, and I am so pleased with the way this one came together. I love the soft look and feel of this ribbon, the flowers, and the tough of green with the leaves.
For this card I used:
A Whisper White Card Base, 8 ½” by 5 ½” scored and folded at 4 ¼”
and one piece 3 ¾” by 5” for layering on the inside of the card
Then 2 pieces of Cherry Cobbler 4” by 5 ¼” to layer the inside and the front of the card,
Plus Scrap to back your sentiment
I used 1 piece of Parisian Blossoms Designer Series Paper 3 ¾” BY 5”
and finally Scrap pieces of Whisper White, Old Olive and Petal pink for leaves flowers and the sentiment.
This Card was Inspired by Noreen Brungardt, a lady in my SU downline, her blog and YouTube Chanel are called Joy of Cards. In the Video, I shared three of her cards, the coloring is stunning. Check out her site. I love the soft tones of this card. This technique creates a color border with the sponging, and is, I think visually appealing. The other technique on this card is using the Stamparatus to use multiple colors on the same stamp.
For this card I used:
A Very Vanilla Card Base, 8 ½” by 5 ½” scored and folded at 4 ¼”
I then used 2 additional pieces of Very Vanilla cardstock, the first is 3 7/8” by 5 1/8” for the front of the card
and the second one is 4 3/4” by 5” to layer on the inside of the card
Finally I used 2 piece of Soft Suede Cardstock 4” by 5 ¼”
I tackled this piece of DSP specifically because I think these cut away’s can be challenging to work with. I can say without hesitation that I am tickled with how they came out. This set of cards also incorporates a fun fold design. The fun fold was discovered on “TX Stampin Sharon’s” YouTube channel, she is a very talented card maker.
I used complimentary card bases, Very Vanilla and Merry Merlot. The layering pieces are almost all Mossy Meadow.
There are many items retiring from the 2020 Mini Catalog as well as the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog and they will go fast. Remember the 2019-2020 In Colors will be going as well and all of the coordinating material as well.
Here are the links to the PDF and the EXCEL spreadsheet lists. I found the Excel list quite readable.The type used for the PDF was so small print I couldn’t read it. I did find that if I just left it on the computer and enlarged it, it worked.
Now, this one was fun! It reminded me so much of a wonderful trip, with my extended family, to Hawaii about three years ago. We started out looking for a warm place to go. When we settled on Hawaii, everyone we told about the trip wanted to come along. We ended up with eighteen people on the trip, it was a blast! In our little cul de sac, where we stayed, we had giant bird of paradise plants just outside our door. The Hibiscus were magnificent. My lovely Daughter In Law was officially invited to join our family on that trip. So it was all very special. Now we are looking forward to adding a grandson to our lives in early June. It’s getting close, and I can hardly wait.
The Measurements for this card include:
A Whisper White Card Base, 8 ½” by 5 ½” scored and folded at 4 ¼”
A second piece 4 ¼” by 5 ½” and a third piece 4 1/8” by 5 1/8”
Then 3 pieces of Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper
1 piece from the Bird of paradise paper cut 4 ¼” by 4 ½”,
Three flowers fussy cut out from the red hibiscus paper,
plus one strip 5 1/8” by ½”
and Finally 1 piece or pieces of Old Olive scrap, sufficient to die cut out six tropical leaves
This was a fun kit to work with. Can you tell? I got a little carried away with 9 alternative cards. The colors are great and so is the theme. These are messages that work beautifully in our current situation.
In addition to the kit supplies I used:
Several Pieces of complimentary cardstock
Mint Macaron
crushed curry and
Pear Pizzas
I also used some Shaded Spruce Cardstock and a bit of Whisper White
