One Sheet Wonder Series - Cards L, M, & N

This is it, the last week of the One Sheet Wonder Series.  I hope you have enjoyed following along and making all these fabulous cards.

Just starting out? I have done all the measuring for you and have prepared cutting diagrams to help you get the most from your cardstock and DSP.  Cut the cardstock and DSP and label them with the letter on the diagram.  Then sort them by letter so you have all the pieces you need for assembling each card.  I also have some general directions for all cards as well as specific directions for each card - including the folding technique.
Here are the cards for this week:

One Sheet Wonder Series - Cards C & D

Welcome back to my Saturday Card Series.  I am currently featuring a One Sheet Wonder template that I created to work with 10 different folding techniques.  How fun is that?  My original cards featured the Park Lane DSP from the Stampin' Up! 2014-15 Annual Catalog.  Here is the link to that post.  Today, I am showing you a variation that is more masculine.   The cutting and folding instructions are the same.  These cards feature the hexagon pattern from Confetti Celebration combined with Tangelo Twist and Basic Gray.

I changed up the embellishments a bit (no bows for the guys).  I used the Whisper White cotton ribbon and just tied a simple knot in the ribbon before it was adhered to the card layer.  Some cards feature the Basic Gray Bakers Twine, Silver Buttons and/or the Essentials Hardware Clips from Stampin' Up!.  Here are the cards from last week in this color way:

Cards A&B - Gate Fold and Standard Side Fold

 

This week, I am again featuring a Standard Side Fold Card as well as an Easel Card.  I have done all the measuring for you and have prepared cutting diagrams to help you get the most from your cardstock and DSP.  If you want to work ahead, you can cut the cardstock and DSP and label them with the letter on the diagram.  Then sort them by letter so you have all the pieces you need for assembling each card.  I also have some general directions for all cards as well as specific directions for each card - including the folding technique.

Card C - Standard Side Fold

Card base:

1.  Start with a card base cut 5 1/2" x 8 1/2"
2.  Score at 4 1/4"
3.  Fold in half on the score line.
4.  Embellish!

 

 

Card D - Easel Card

Card base:

1.  Start with a card base cut 4 1/4" x 11"
2.  Score at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2"
3.  Fold on both score lines.  See photos.
4.  Add a sentiment/layer to the inside of the card using dimensional adhesive. This is what holds the easel in place when open.



 

I hope you are enjoying this series.  Stop back again next Saturday for more great cards.

Birthday Wishes

Hello.  Thanks for stopping by.  My card today is inspired by the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches.  I love the elements of this sketch - the circle, the banners.  This will definitely be a "go to" sketch for me when I need a little kick start to my creative mojo.

I used the Endless Birthday Wishes stamp set for my card below.  I love the versatility of the greetings - they can be combined in so many way.  The background paper is from the Sweet Taffy Designer Series Paper pack.

 

I added some rhinestones to the tops of the candles to add a little bling to my card.

 

Hope you like my card.

DOstamper STARS Challenge #090

Welcome back to another DOstamper STARS Thursday Challenge.  This week is a Color My World Challenge.

Ok.  I didn't exactly follow the colors in the challenge.  Instead of Coastal Cabana, I chose a slightly darker Bermuda Bay.  Then on the yellow side, I chose Daffodil Delight instead of Crushed Curry.  Either way, I think I am in the spirit of the challenge and it is all for fun anyway.

For my card, I made an uneven gate folding card.  I stamped three balloons using the Sketched Birthday stamp set on Whisper White cardstock.  I placed two squares on the left panel and the center square on the right panel.

What a fun, gender neutral birthday card.  Thanks for stopping by.

DOstamper STARS Sketch Pad #088

Hello.  It is Thursday again.  Lately the weeks have just been flying by for me.  It is almost the end of June already.  I can't believe that the 4th of July is just around the corner.  Today we have a Sketch Pad Challenge.

This sketch can be used in so many ways.  It is a great sketch to feature Designer Series Paper as well as stamping.  For my card I am using a "new to me" stamp set - Sketched Birthday from the Stampin' Up Annual Catalog.  I stamped the balloon images using Versamark ink on Basic Black cardstock.  I then heat embossed them using White Emboss Powder - I love the look!

The sentiment is stamped with Jet Black Stazon Ink.  The cupcake frosting is colored with Melon Mambo Stampin' Write Marker.

DOstamper STARS #083

Happy Thursday.  Today is another DOstamper STARS Challenge. This week is the photo-inspired Home Sweet Home challenge.  Aren't the cupcakes in this photo too cute?

 

 

I love the polka dots in the photo.  I looked through my Designer Series Paper and didn't really have the right color or style - so I made my own.  I combined the circle stamp in the Geometrical stamp set with the "watercolor" circle stamp in the NEW Work of Art stamp set - and voila - polka dot paper.

 

 

The sentiment is also from the Work of Art stamp set.  It is great because the words "JUST FOR" and "You" are actually 2 separate stamps.  You can use your ink pads for stamping.

Six Sided Challenge Miss

Each Thursday, my fabulous upline Dawn Olchefske hosts a challenge on her blog.  Members of her DOstamper STARS are allowed to participate by creating cards/projects and then we host a mini blog hop.

I had a couple ideas for this week's Color My World Challenge.  I thought I would share with you another card I made that uses the same ink colors.

I think it is the quilter in me that really likes the Six Sided Sampler stamp set and coordinating Hexagon Punch.  I used the same greeting as my original card placed at the top of the card. 

Here is the link to my original card.  Let me know which one you like better.

Thanks for stopping by today.

DOstamper STARS Challenge #078

Time for another DOstamper STARS Thursday Challenge.  Today it is a Color My World challenge. 

 

 

The colors for today's challenge are soft and sweet.  I was looking through my Stampin' Up Designer Series Paper and found this Pool Party sheet in the I Am Me paper pack.  The scallops in the paper looks great with the scallops in the cupcakes.  I stamped the greeting on Whisper White punched with the Modern Label punch.  I punched a second label using Wisteria Wonder, cut it in half and then layered it behind the white.

 

I will be featuring the I Am Me DSP in my next few challenge posts.  I think this Designer Series Paper is definitely worth checking out.  The scale of a lot of the prints make them great for card making, yet there are some bolder images if you enjoy scrapbooking.

 

I hope you like my card.  Thanks for stopping by.

DOstamper STARS Challenge #076

It is Thursday again.  Time for another DOstamper STARS Challenge.  This week we have a Sketch Pad challenge.

I am just loving the Hardwood background stamp (I might have said that last week too).  This week's card definitely has more of a masculine feel with the brown and green colors as well as the goose image from the Wetlands stamp set. 

 

Some of the elements of my card are slightly different than the sketch.  For example, I didn't want the goose looking off my card, so I moved the circle to the left side.  I think it still captures the essence of the sketch.

DOstamper STARS Challenge #073

It is time again for another DOstamper STARS Thursday Challenge.  Today is a fun sketch challenge.

 

As promised last week, I am again featuring the Morning Meadow stamp set.  I love stamp sets that include both images and sentiments.  I stamped the flowering stem image multiple times in Smoky Slate to create the background layer.

 

The large flower can be punched using the Pansy Punch.  Love that. I think Strawberry Slush is just the right pop of color.

DOstamper STARS Challenge meets One Sheet Wonder

It is Thursday again and that means it is time for another DOstamper STARS Challenge.  This week is a color challenge.

 

 

These are the colors that coordinate with the Retro Fresh Designer Series Paper that is in the Spring Occasions catalog.  But what happens when you don't own that DSP (it is definitely on my wish list), you make your own.

 

One Sheet Wonder (OSW) is not a new technique.  I think this a great way to do some stamping and create a bunch of cards without having to make the exact same card more than once.

 

I found a relatively new template on LeeAnn Greff's website and I wanted to give it a try.  I used the Petal Parade (Sale-a-bration) stamp set and combined it with the above colors.  Here were my results:

 

I kept the card bases neutral - Whisper White and Crumb Cake.  Most of the sentiments are from the Label Love stamp set and cut with the coordinating punch.

I had a lot of fun creating these cards.  Thanks for stopping by.

Birthday Pennants

Birthday greetings are featured today.  When I first saw the colors at Dynamic Duos, I immediately thought flowers.  But then when I saw the sketch at Technostamper, it seemed like a great layout for a masculine birthday card.

I turned the sketch horizontally and then strung the pennants together with Baker’s Twine.  It is really a fairly clean and simple card, but it still looks great.

Here is my card:

 

 

Hope you like my card!

A Girl Needs a Little Pink

My niece is turning 4 in a couple weeks, and when I saw the following challenges, I immediately thought birthday card.  I have two little boys, so when I have the chance to shop or make cards for girls, I go pink all the way.

Here was my inspiration:  Color Throwdown #257 and Inkspirational Sketch Challenge #35.  I am also playing this week at Stampin' Royalty Challenge #191 - Circles.

 

 

Don't the colors in the Color Throwdown just remind you of sherbet?  I loved the butterflies and circles on the Sketch Inspiration.  I moved the center element down, but it still feels like the sketch to me.  To create the patterns on the butterflies, I used the Six-Sided Sampler stamp set from Stampin' Up.  I stamped the various patterns and colors, then punched a butterfly from the center of the hexagon shape.  The rhinestones add that little bling every girl loves!!
