Do you have an abundance of gorgeous paper? I know I do! The next couple of posts will give you some great ideas of how to make fast and easy beautiful cards with your beautiful Designer Series paper! So dig out all that paper and start having some fun!
Measurements:
Base: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″
Layer: 4″ x 5 1/4″
DSP 1″ strips
Start off with the layer of Basic Black 4″ x 5 1/4″
Adhere a long 1″ strip of the Perfectly Penciled DSP to the center of the Basic Black layer diagonally.
Flip the DSP over for the geometric design and leaving a small border as desired adhere another strip next to the first.
Adhere 1″ strips perpendicularly to the first two strips on either side leaving the same width of space as the first two strips.
Turn the layer over and cut the excess off at the edge of the layer.
As you near the edge and there is a small triangle it helps to cut it longer than the edge of the paper and fold it over the layer this will give the smaller pieces more stability. (see photo below)
Finish all the edges by cutting them to the edge of the Basic Black layer.
Then adhere this layer to the Base cardstock.
I used Basic Black for the base and layered a 4″ x 5 1/4″ Basic White layer on the inside of the base card.
Stamp a sentiment – this one is from the Artistically Inked stamp set and I punched it into a banner format with the Banners Pick a Punch and then layered it onto the Basic Black Cardstock and punched this layer as well to match the Basic White layer.
Pop up the sentiment onto the card and add some Matte Black dots to finish this easy and simple card off!
Have lots of great designer series paper this is a fun card to make with all those beautiful designs! Go out and create some gorgeous DSP art of your own – one page, one stamp at a time!
Happy Stampin’
