Let's Use Our Pretty Paper - Part 2

Hi Everyone,
Sometimes the Designer Series Paper does all the work. You just have to a sentiment and embellishments to make a simple and beautiful card. Today I used the Whale of a Time Suite. What a fun stamp set, punch, DSP and sequins to use to make these awesome cards! The suite also comes with an impressive embossing folder and ribbon.

Measurements:

Card base -4 1/4 x 11; scored at 5 1/2 (I used Whisper White and Misty Moonlight for the card bases)

DSP - 4 x 5 1/4

Recipe:

1. Fold card base in half.
2. Adhere the DPS to the card base.
3. Stamp sentiments on scrap Whisper White and cut out.
4. The whale was cut from a piece of DSP using the Whale Punch.
5. Adhere sequins on the card if you wish using Multipurpose glue.

Take some time to look at your DSP and see if you can make it the focal point of your card. The Whale DSP works wonderfully. One side of the DSP has a picture on it and the other side is usually monochromatic. I really love this paper and all the possibilities. These cards only show a few of the things you can do with this paper.

Have fun using your pretty paper!

Let's Use Our Pretty Paper

Hi Everyone,
Do you hoard your pretty paper waiting for the perfect project? I know I do! Now I have quite a pile of pretty paper. Let's stop hoarding our paper and start using it. In my next few posts I am going to help you use your pretty paper to make some beautiful and simple cards.

Our first samples are simple and can be masculine or feminine depending on the paper you use. All you need is two small pieces of pretty paper. I am going to use the term Designer Series Paper or DSP for short.

Here is our first sample.

Measurements:

Card base (Misty Moonlight) - 4 1/4 x 11; scored at 5 1/2

Layer (Whisper White) - 4 x 4 1/4 (Card front) and another for the inside

DSP #1 - 3 3/4 x 3                                  DSP#2 - 3 3/4 x 2

Ribbon - Misty Moonlight 4 1/2 and 3

Scrap piece of Whisper White for sentiment

Recipe:

1. Cut pieces as described above.
2. Fold card base in half.
3. Adhere DSP #1 to the Whisper White layer leaving about an 1/8" border on top and sides.
4. Adhere DSP #2 to the layer right below the top DSP.
5. Adhere the longer ribbon to the card along the line between the two DSP pieces. Tie the smaller piece of ribbon onto the longer piece of ribbon. 
6. Stamp a sentiment, cut it out and adhere to the front of the card using dimensionals.
7. Adhere the second piece of Whisper White to the inside of the card.

You can use this recipe for any DSP to make a beautiful and simple card.

Have fun!
