Welcome to our November Blog Waddle! We are featuring our wonderfully, always coordinated Designer Series Paper, also known as DSP!!

I picked the Oh Holy Night 12″ x 12″ DSP (#161986). This gorgeous Designer Series Paper pairs so beautifully with Night Divine Bundle (#161997) and the Stars at Night Bundle (#162007) to create a wide variety of Christmas cards. Here is a preview of my card.

My card base is Very Vanilla with a layer of the DSP cut from the bottom of the piece. The stable and camel were cut from Pecan Pie, the Holy family in Basic Black, and the animals from Basic Gray using the Night Divine Dies (#161996). The star was die cut using the Stars at Night Hybrid Embossing Folder (162006).

The front is so beautiful, I put the sentiment in side using .

Welcome to our October Blog Waddle! We are featuring Designer Series Paper a.k.a. DSP, to create our cards!! I decided on the Countryside Inn 12″ x 12″ DSP (#161467). Do you pick the DSP for your card and let it decide the type of card you make or do you find the DSP to fit the card you want to make? Here are all of the patterns in the Countryside Inn DSP.

I picked the DSP first for my card. I wanted to use several patterns. I used 6 different patterned papers!

My card base is Night of Navy with a layer of the returning color, Misty Moonlight. Then I cut 4 of the patterns at 2-1/2″ x 1-1/4″ being careful of the direction of the pattern and 2 patterns at 1-1/4″ x 1-1/4″. The Basic White piece is also 2-1/2″ x 1-1/4″.

The flowers and leaves were die cut with the Around the Bend Dies (#160649). The sentiment from Circle Sayings (#161348) was stamped in Boho Blue. I added a bow of Night of Navy 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon (#160581) to complete my card.

Welcome to our September Blog Waddle! We are featuring new Stampin’ products from the Sept-Dec Mini-catalog on our cards!!

I picked the Rustic Crate bundle(#162268) for my card. The bundle includes the Rustic Crate stamp set (#162265) and the Rustic Crate Dies (#162267). I am especially fascinated with the crate!

The card base is Crushed Curry with a layer of Inked Botanicals 6″ X 6″ DSP (#161157). I added a piece of Basic Black for interest. The crate is die cut from Pecan Pie and Basic Black. (Hint: the larger of the crate pieces folds forward.) The fall arrangement was colored wit Stampin’ Blends and Stampin Write Markers: Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry, Old Olive, Wild Wheat, Early Espresso, Cherry Cobbler and Pecan Pie. The sentiment is stamped in Basic Black and I fussy cut the ends. A bow of Black & White Gingham ribbon (#156485) completes my card.

Welcome to our August Blog Waddle! We are featuring color combinations to create our cards!! I looked around for a color combination created by someone else, but did not find one I wanted to use. I do use this site: http://colorlab.mycreateink.com when I am looking for a combination. I knew I wanted bright colors, but I didn’t find anything I liked, so I created my own. I put Garden Green, Daffodil Yellow, Poppy Parade, and Gorgeous Grape together. How do you pick colors for your card?

My card base is Thick Basic White using the lattice front card design. I thought the Dainty Delight Dies (#160674) would be perfect in front of my “fence”. Using scraps of all the colors in my color combination, I die cut the pieces. Don’t you love the texture and depth of these flowers!? A Happy Birthday sign was created from a scrap of Basic White and Poppy Parade ink using the Pansy Patch stamp set (#154999) for the sentiment, punched out with the Double Oval punch (#154242) and hung on the fence with a piece of Sweet Sorbet twine from the 2022-2024 In Color Baker’s Twine Pack (#159195) I added a piece of Daffodil Delight inside to accentuate the fence.

Welcome to our July Blog Waddle! We are featuring how to use a sketch for your cards!!

I picked a sketch from Pagemaps, a fantastic resource for card and scrapbook sketches! I just got the Little Monkey stamp set (#161372) this week and decided it will work very well with the sketch I chose. Becky@pagemaps was so kind to give me the measurements of the layers. Then I figured out if I made the image 4.25″ wide, I can use my. clear ruler and figure out the measurements myself!!

Here’s the sketch:

My card base is Basic White with a layer of Fresh As A Daisy DSP (#161289). This sketch really begs for several DSP patterns, so I also used pieces from Bright & Beautiful 6″ x 6″ DSP (#161449) and Brights 6″ x 6″ DSP (#161643).

I used scraps of Pretty Peacock and Granny Apple Green for the tag topper, and the horizontal pieces. The tag is a little shorter than a tag in the Tailor Made Tags Dies (#155563), so after cutting the full tag, I moved the bottom of the die up to the correct length and then cut just the bottom of the tag. The tag top is tied with twine from Baker’s Twine Essential Pack (#155475). The bananas are stamped in Daffodil Delight and colored with Blends.
