more color mondays – pool party, pecan pie and crisp cantaloupe

Have you noticed those new sheets that come in some of our recent Designer Series Paper packages that have multiple images printed on one side of the DSP? Have you ever wondered what in the world to do with it or decided to just use the “B” side? Todays’ More Color Mondays features that sheet in the Waterside Retreat DSP package and the cards I made from that sheet and the stamp set ONLY!!

Stamps, Ink and Paper – Simple Stamping at it’s finest!

Here is the sheet whole and cut apart:

For the first card I used the image in the lower right hand corner of the DSP, mounted it on Pool Party cardstock used the B side of the fisherman image in the upper right hand of the DSP and added a 1/2″ strip of Crisp Cantaloupe for the sentiment! I added two Crsip Cantaloupe In COlor Dots and this stunning EASY card is complete!

Card #2 used the center dock image and I cut it to 4″ x 5 1/4″. I saved the top sky piece to use on the next card as it’s sentiment piece as I did with this card! I stamped a seagull in Pecan Pie ink on the sky portion of the DSP and mounted it to the Pecan Pie card base.
I stamped the “Today is your day” sentiment from the Relaxing Waterside Bundle in Pecan Pie ink and mounted small strips of Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock to edge the sentiment piece. I added Crisp Cantaloupe dots to finish!

My third card used the cabin from the upper right-hand corner mounted on Pecan Pie cardstock and torn at the bottom edge. Mount this onto a Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock base and I added a the strip from the top edge of card #2 for my sentiment. I added the Crisp Cantaloupe dots as well to this card. Simple and complete!

On a Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock base I added Pool Party and Pecan Pie scraps behind two rectangles from the DSP and a Stylish Shapes circle for the sentiment popped up onto Stampin’ Dimensionals with dots for the embellishments.

For my next card I used a Pecan Pie base and the Ice Cream shop image witha rectangle of striped B side DSP. I angled both and added a sentiment onto a Stylish Shapes square die with dots for the finishing touch!

I took the four vintage pieces and added matte layers to three of them and layered them for a collage look. I added the medium banner die from the Stylish Shapes dies set in Pool Party CS and Pecan Pie ink for the sentiment piece. I cut the banner edge off one side and popped them up and diagonal edges. I added the In Color dots to finish off this collage card!

My last card uses the top middle image and cut 1/2″ off the image. I also cut a 1/2″ strip off the bottom of the card front and added the strip I cut off the beach image on the “B” side with stripes to the inside bottom of the card base. I mounted the beach image to the top panel and added a sentiment to the left hand bottom corner of the beach image. I finished it off with the Crisp Cantaloupe dots and the set is complete!

See the fun things you can do with this type of DSP sheet – try your hand at something like this and go create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’
