Freshly Brewed Projects – Sale-a-bration DSP!

Today, I’m hopping with my friends from Australia again.  We are sharing ideas for the Sale-a-bration DSP (Designer Series Paper).  You can get this paper FREE with a qualifying order!

I love using DSP!!  It is so beautiful.  But, it makes me sad when it’s double sided, and I have to choose a side to show.  Sometimes it’s really hard to decide because both sides are so pretty.

Today, I decided NOT to make a choice, so I’ve designed two projects for you, and as you can see, BOTH sides of the DSP get to shine.

Both cards use the Paper Blooms DSP, found on page 3 of the Sale-a-bration brochure.  My first card uses the Approaching Perfection stamp set, which is also FREE with a qualifying order and can be found on page 6 of the Sale-a-bration brochure.

For this card, I took a rectangle of DSP and cut it from corner to corner.  Then I took removeable adhesive and attached the two pieces to a piece of scrap paper, so I could cut it from corner to corner the other direction.  Then, I simply flipped two of the pieces over and adhered them all to the navy panel.  It’s almost like working a puzzle!

I added a bow and a heart charm for a little embellishment.

For my second card, I used the A Touch of Ink stamp set, which is another FREE option from page 12 of the Sale-a-bration brochure.

For this card, I took another rectangle panel of DSP, made a cut at the middle of the long side in 1 1/2″ toward the center, then folded both sides back to show off the back side of the DSP.

I fussy cut the butterfly and added Wink of Stella, and colored pearls using the Rococo Rose Blends.

As you can see, both of these cards use the same DSP, but I’ve shown you two different ways to use the paper, and still showcase both sides.

I hope you’ve enjoyed these projects and paper techniques.  If you’re in the USA, and in need of stamping supplies or assistance, I would love to be your demonstrator.

And now, on to the rest of the hop.  Let’s see what these lovely ladies have created.

Double Dutch Door Gnomes

Last week, I taught a FREE Friday Fun Fold class to my stampers.  We made a Double Dutch Door card.  I used the  Gnome for the Holidays stamp set for my sample.

To me, the top of the tree stamp looked unfinished, so I stamped and punched a few leaves using the Harvest Hellos stamp set and Apple Builder Punch.

I decided the string of lights needed a little bling, so I added rhinestones that I colored with my Stampin’ Blends.

I used the hat from one of the gnome stamps to make the little tree on the inside.

I thought it turned out very cute.  What do you think?

DIY Birthday

During the pandemic, we haven’t been able to celebrate birthdays like we’d really like to.  But, we’ve been able to celebrate in fun and different ways.

We recently celebrated the birthday of one of our friends, a young man who turned 29, with a drive-by parade which, interestingly enough, turned out to be comprised of 29 vehicles!  We had signs and balloons, and some of us handed John-Mark gifts as we drove by.  He likes candles and ice cream, so I gave him a box with a card and a DIY birthday party that had both!

The party in a box contains a Rainbow Chip Mug Cake with a frosting packet, a birthday candle, wooden spoon, and a gift card to Dewster’s, a local homemade ice cream store.  What else do you need for a birthday party?!

I used the vintage Sprinkles of Life stamp set, Tree Builder Punch, It’s My Party DSP and enamel dots for this project.

Forever Blossoms Thank You

My husband, Steve, recently lost his sister, Debbie.  It was a horrible time, but it was definitely a lot easier than it could have been, thanks to the kindness and generosity of my friends.  They brought food, sent cards, and called or texted daily just to check on us.

This is one of the cards I made to say Thank You.  It’s based on a card we made last month in Stamp Club, and to be honest, I didn’t have the energy to be creative, so I just changed the sentiments to suit my purpose.

I used the recently retired Kindness & Compassion stamp set for the words.  I’m sorry this set retired, as it has beautiful words, both to express sympathy, and to thank others who expressed sympathy to us.

I used the following products to create this card.

Pillow Box Treat Bag

Last month’s Stamp Club was held online again, due to our state’s social distancing requirements.  It’s not nearly as much fun as stamping together, but we still had fun.  This was one of our projects.

It’s really easy to make.  You only fold one end of the pillow box together and leave the other end flat.  Use your punch to punch a “handle” in the flat end, and voila, an instant treat bag.

Band Stamping Tutorial

My apologies for not posting lately.  We had a death in the family, and have been spending a lot of time dealing with finances, insurance, etc.

I know you’ve all been waiting for the tutorial of the technique used in the cards from the last few posts, so here goes!

BAND STAMPING  TUTORIAL

Create a colorful band of color on projects using this simple masking technique.

1.  Determine where you’d like your color band. Cover everything except the band area with scrap paper (masks), using washi tape or painter’s tape to secure.  I like to do this on grid paper to get these pieces lined up straight.  If you use painter’s tape, be sure to remove some of the tackiness by patting it on your clothing a couple of times, so it won’t tear your cardstock.

2.  Choose two or three ink pad colors, and apply the lightest color to the band area with sponges, daubers or blending brushes. Add the next color sparingly in smaller areas.  I used Balmy Blue and Blueberry Bushel on my sample.

3. If desired, stamp images in the darkest color. I stamped the snowflakes in Blueberry Bushel.

4. Remove the masks to reveal your beautiful band of color!

This was the first card I made using this technique.  It uses the Snowman Season stamp set, which was in the last Holiday Catalog.  But, good news!  It will be back in the fall!

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.  This is a very simple technique that doesn’t require a lot of supplies, but it can make a BIG difference in your cards.  I’d love to see what you make with this!
