Card using Christmas to Remember bundle and Painted Christmas DSP

 

Welcome to my blog. Now that I’ve got my craft room semi organized I’ve begun to make Christmas cards and craft fair items.  The above card I made in order to show case both sides of the beautiful Painted Christmas DSP. I also used the dies from the Christmas to Remember bundle. This bundle is part of the Painted Christmas Suite. I only bought the bundle and DSP from the suite. I really love this paper.

Materials and Directions 

- Card base is 5-1/2 x 4-1/4. Trim the front side so there is 1 inch left. See photo

- The DSP is 5-1/2 x4 glue inside 1 inch strip.

-Use the reverse side of the DSP cut 3/4 x 5-1/2 and glue to the spine.

- Using dies from the the bundle I cut out pine cones in scraps of brown and glitter paper I had. I glued to the front.

- Inside I glued a piece of white cardstock cut 5 x 4. The sentiment is from Christmas to Remember stamp set which is part of the bundle. I stamped it using Garden Green ink.

You can buy the any part of this suite from my website. For orders less than 150$ you can use the host code.

Mini Slim Line Card using Pattern Party DSP and new in color cardstock Pale Papaya

 Welcome to my blog. The new Annual Catalog features a selection of beautiful DSP.  The Pattern Party DSP has a variety of papers to make beautiful cards. I also made the card using the Darling Donkeys stamp set( now retired). I love this set and was sad it didn’t make the new catalog. I often pair the new DSP with older favorite stamp sets. I can’t see parting with stamp sets I like to buy new all the time. A lot of the stamp sets in this catalog mirror some of the older ones I have . I can’t see getting rid of them for a new version. Therefore I use them with the new papers. Materials and Directions for the above card:

- To make the mini slim line card base I used Pale Papaya card stock cut at 7 x 6. Fold in 1/2 on the 7 inch side. 

- DSP layer is a piece of the Pattern Party DSP cut @ 5-3/4 x 3-1/4

- I used scraps of white and colored card stock to cut out the ovals with the layering dies. On the white oval I stamped and colored the image. I colored using Stampin Blends. I adhered the 2 layers together and glued to the front.

- The sentiment die I had in my stash and cut it out of scraps I had. I then adhered to the front.

-  For the inside I used a piece of white cardstock 5-3/4 x 3-1/4. I stamped a donkey image.

You can use any stamp set to make this card. You can purchase the papers I used from my website.

Happy Crafting!
