SAB Best Year Ever DSC 115

Happy Thursday!! Welcome to another DOstamper STARS Sketch Pad challenge.

 

 

Here is my card (I may have rotated things a bit - LOL).  I really wanted to use the new Sale-A-Bration Best Year Ever paper this week. I love Coastal Cabana and these papers are great.  The background paper has a Bokeh effect that looks so cool - with no effort!!  I cut the striped paper on an angle to create the diagonal effect.

 

The sentiment is from the SAB Simply Wonderful stamp set.  The sample image in the Sale-A-Bration brochure is shown with the Extra Large Oval punch.  However, you can mix things up and use other punches or framelits you already own.  I cut this with the Apothocary Accents Framelits and layered it over a 2 1/2" Circle.

 

 

Hope you like my card this week.  You can actually get the DSP and the Stamp Set FREE!  For every $50 you spend, you can choose one FREE SAB item.  Plus, I am offering a special during Sale-A-Bration.  Shop my online store 24/7.

One Sheet Wonder Series - Cards G & H

Hello!!  Welcome to my Saturday card series.  This week marks the half way point in my One Sheet Wonder series.  Never heard of a One Sheet Wonder?  Well, you start with one sheet of Designer Series Paper and make multiple cards quickly and easily.  I wanted to take that one step further and combine that with fun folds making the cards even more interesting. 

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.

Here are the cards for this week:

Card G - 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 H - Z-Fold 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.  Cut a second piece of cardstock measuring 3 1/2" x 4 1/4".
5.  Using the piece cut in Step 4, adhere to card base.  Apply adhesive to half of the layer and attach to card base.  Tip:  Do not apply adhesive to entire top layer and that will adhere the card closed.

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.
