9 Cards - ONE Sheet of 12x12 DSP

Hi There Crafty Friends!

This past weekend I was playing in my craft room and decided to see how many cards I could make with one sheet of 12x12 Designer Series Paper (patterned paper).
I was able to make 9 cards! I could have done more had I cut some of the larger pieces down a bit, but, I really like the cards I made.
These are simple cards that are easy to recreate for anyone, from beginners to seasoned card makers.
I wanted to use as few supplies as possible. For those of you that are just starting out, I totally understand that you may have limited crafting supplies.
These are all standard A2 size cards, which is 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". There will be a video on my YouTube channel shortly sharing these cards.
Products used are all from Stampin' Up! I used Whisper White card stock, Best Year Ever DSP, rhinestones, epoxy stickers, Stampin' Dimensionals, Crazy About You stamp set, Crisp Cantaloupe ink pad, Strawberry Slush ink pad, Whisper White Baker's Twine, Best Year Ever Designer Buttons.
Without further ado, here are the 9 cards I created:

I hope this inspires you to give it a try! It's fun trying to figure out how to cut and design the cards to get the most out of 1 sheet of paper!

Thanks for stopping by! Hugs, Pat

Lotus Blossom Cards

Hello Crafty Friends!

I'd like to share a couple of cards I made using the Lotus Blossom stamp set from Stampin' Up!

This first card uses Crisp Cantaloupe ink and card stock. It's a pretty simple, standard A2 size card. I just love this stamp set. It makes making elegant cards a breeze!

 The next card, uses Lost Lagoon ink and card stock, along with Soft Sky card stock as a mat.

I hope you have enjoyed these 2 cards. They're simple, yet elegant. Perfect for any occasion or just because!

Irresistibly Yours Thank You Card

Good Morning! TGIF!

Today I have a card share for you. This was made using Stampin' Up!® products.

This card is a top folding 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" card base in Whisper White card stock. I used a piece of the Irresistibly Yours Specialty Paper cut at 4" x 5 1/4". The Irresistibly Yours paper is a FREE item in the Sale-A-Bration Brochure.

When you spend $50 in product, you get to choose 1 free item from the Sale-A-Bration Brochure! Awesome deal!

Anyway, back to the card...Irresistibly Yours is basically an emboss resist type paper, where you add color and the design on the paper shows through. I used Crisp Cantaloupe ink to achieve this. I then used the Hello You Thinlits to cut the word "thanks" out of Whisper White card stock. I added a white Baker's Twine bow under the word "thanks". Lastly, I layered 3 of the little flowers from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack, punched in Whisper White. I added a rhinestone that I colored with Crisp Cantaloupe to the center of the flower. I placed the flower at the end of the word "thanks".

I made the yellow flower next to the card, but decided not to use it for this project.

Thank you so much for stopping by and spending some time with me today. Have a safe, fun weekend!
