Gingham Garden Card Set

I am always on the hunt to find ways to make quick and easy cards using Designer Series Paper.  I recently came across this tutorial on Colorado Moms and knew I could add my own spin to it.

This pattern is great because you start with one sheet of 12 x 12 paper as the primary focus.  You then add 3 complimentary pattern papers and some cardstock.  The tutorial has all the dimensions for cutting your cardstock and pattern paper.

I used the Gingham Garden Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up.  The sentiments are from the Lacy & Lovely Stamp Set.  The other embellishments are from Papillion Potourri & Flower Shop cut with their coordinating punches.  Here are my cards.  The numbers coordinate with the tutorial.

Cards 1 & 2

Cards 3 & 4

Autumn Sampler

Today I am featuring a home décor project.  This Autumn Sampler features many different images and punches from Stampin' Up.  I chose the colors based on Sweater Weather Designer Series Paper. 

Here is the unframed sampler: 

Each of the 9 squares has a finished size of 2 1/4".  Many of the squares have elements that are 3-dimensional, such as the rosette, the pumpkin and the butterfly.  To really showcase these, the layout is framed in a shadow box.

Hope you give this type of project a try.
