Monday Mystery Stamping – 4/14/25

This card can be made with or without the layers. Maybe make one with all of the layers and then you can choose to do it differently for the next card. You can do a scenic DSP or a variety of patterns.  Probably not too large a pattern.

Monday Mystery Stamping – 3/24/25

Vertical/Portrait card:
Clue #1… gather your supplies, All measurements in inches.
A really pretty card suggested by Arlesia.

This card has the opportunity to use 3 different DSPs.  I would use something appropriate for the size of each mat. The largest piece of DSP will have a writing panel over much of it.

Cardstock Base A:
1 @ 5-1/2 x 8-1/4, NOTE: NOT 8-1/2 but 8-1/4, score at 1, 2, 3, 4 from one edge
1 @ 4-1/8 x 2-7/8
1 @ 4-7/8 x 3-5/8
DSP:  1 @ 5-1/4 tall x 4 wide
1 @ 3-7/8 x 2-5/8
1 @ 4-5/8 x 3-3/8
Basic White or Very Vanilla:
1 @ 4-1/4 x 3
Focal point: Die cut(s) and sentiments for 2 or 3 panels.

On the edge of the card base closest to the 1″ fold, lightly mark on the edge at 2-3/4 up from the bottom. Cut from that mark to the top of the 4″ score at the top of the card. Fold the base mountain, valley, mountain, valley. Adhere the smallest cardstock panel to the frontmost fold, lining up edges. Adhere the other card stock panel to the next mountain fold, making sure the panel is not obstructing the fold.

**NOTE: If you do not like measuring eighths of an inch, follow these measurements
1 @ 5-1/2 x 8-1/4, NOTE: NOT 8-1/2 but 8-1/4, score at 1, 2, 3, 4 from one edge
1 @ 4 x 2-3/4
1 @ 4-3/4 x 3-1/2
DSP:  1 @ 5-1/4 tall x 4 wide
1 @ 3-3/4 x 2-1/2
1 @ 4-1/2x 3-1/4
Basic White or Very Vanilla:
1 @ 4-1/4 x 3

This photo shows how the panels line up with these measurements. Before you adhere the 2 panels, slide them up to cover the 2 little triangles.


Adhere the panels, hiding the 2 triangles, open the card and trim off 1/8″ across the entire bottom of the card.

My cards aren’t quite completed, but here they are to give you a couple of ideas.

Monday Mystery Stamping – 3/10/25

Vertical/Portrait card:
Clue #1… gather your supplies, All measurements in inches.

Get ready to dig through your paper stash!! You don’t need full quarter sheets for these cards! Yes, these, we are making 3 cards in a very short time!
The key to these cards is your DSP.  I would use double-sided and mostly non-directional with 2 smallish patterns and 1 maybe medium.  You can use 3 smallish patterns, too.

Clue #1   …  Gather your supplies: All measurements in inches.  This is a portrait/vertical card.

Cardstock Base A: Based on your DSP.  Can be the same or different.
3 @ 5-1/2 x 8-1/2, scored at 4-1/4
Cardstock B:Based on your Card base and DSP choices.  Can be the same or different.
3 @ 5-1/4 x 4
DSP: Double-sided DSP is probably best. 
3 @ 4-3/4 tall x 3-3/4 wide
Basic White or Very Vanilla:
1 @ 5 x 4-1/4 for the inside if your card base is dark
Focal point: I would add a sentiment for the front of the card. 
OPTIONAL: Die cut(s) 

Stack all 3 pieces of your DSP together and mark the top sheet as shown below. Then cut on the lines from side to side.

Here are my 3 cards with the 3 patterns. You can see each one is at the top, middle and bottom on the 3 cards.

You can also turn over the DSP if there is a pattern there that you like better.
