One Sheet Wonder Series - Cards J & K

We are getting down to the last two weeks now.  Hopefully by now you have created lots of pretty cards and learned some fun folding techniques along the way.

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:
Card J - 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 K - Top Fold Card
Card base:

1.  Start with a card base cut 4 1/4" x 11"
2.  Score at 2 1/2" and 6 3/4"
3.  Fold on both score lines.  See photos.
4.  Using a 2 1/2" Circle Punch, line up score line at 2 1/2" in center of punch and punch a circle.

DOstamper STARS #107

It's Thursday again.  Time for another DOstamper STARS Challenge.  This week we have a photo-inspired Home Sweet Home Challenge. 

I was inspired by the colors and the simple design of the cookies. Normally, I don't think about stamping my DSP (not really sure why - probably because it is so great to begin with).  But then I saw a technique on Pinterest of stamping the Back to Black DSP with the Polka Dot stamp from the Dotty Angles stamp set.  For my card, I chose Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight as my colors and stamped them on the leaf/floral paper.  Doesn't that make them look like fall leaves?

I then used two of the actual leaf stamps from the Fall Fest stamp set to stamp around the greeting.  I added some Pumpkin Pie ribbon and some Basic Black Candy Dots to finish the card.

Here I did the same technique with more spring-like colors.  I used Pink Pirouette, Strawberry Slush and Pear Pizzazz to stamp the polka dots on the same sheet of DSP.  Now they look more like flowers to me.  I stamped some flowers from the Petite Petals stamp set around my greeting and added some silver ribbon and rhinestones.

Hope you liked my cards today.  Visit my fellow STARS for more inspiration.

DOstamper STARS #106 - Trim the Tree

Hello.  Welcome to another DOstamper STARS Thursday Challenge.  This week we have a Sketch Pad challenge.

 

 

I know - you are looking at my card and thinking - where are the squares?  Well, I took a little liberty with the sketch and made them trees instead.  I am loving the Trim the Tree DSP stack.  It has so many great colors for the holidays.  I prefer the traditional reds and greens for Christmas, so this is perfect for me.

 

I added a banner stamped with the Good Greetings stamp set and a silver button tied with Cherry Cobbler Bakers Twine for the finishing touch.

Hope you like my card.  Visit my fellow STARS for more inspiration.

One Sheet Wonder Series - Card I and O

Happy Saturday.  Did you survive Halloween?  My boys got more candy than they will need for a month.  Oh well, it was fun and they really do enjoy getting dressed up.  At 4 & 6, they are excited and our neighbors and friends still think it is cute.  It only lasts so long - just like a lot things in childhood.

But enough of that.  Time for some more cards in my One Sheet Wonder series.  This time we are going to go out of order a bit.  I am going to feature Cards I and O this week.

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.  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.
