I will show you two cards made from one 6″x 6″ DSP piece each using an opposing side facing front. The measurements above are to make two cards. This card is my own version of a recent video I viewed from my sister demonstrator, Rachel (at the end I photographed some cards I made using her design with the paper and stamp set that she highlighted I thought it was such a fun and easy card I decided to make my own version using the Seaside Bay stamps and paper!
Below is the photo of the papers cut for the first card.
Cut the By the Bay Specialty DSP in half at 3″ and then score parallel to the short side at just over the 5 3/8″ mark. Fold and adhere to the middle upper edge of the Basic White layer.
Adhere the white layer onto the base Crumb Cake layer.
Stamp the sentiment onto the Basic White scrap that is die cut from the second largest Stylish Shapes stitched circle. Then stamp a second generation crab image onto the circle as well (second generation means to stamp full strength onto a scrap piece of paper and then onto the circle without re-inking the stamp! This will give you a lighter image in the same color.
Adhere the smaller white circle onto the Balmy Blue circle die cut with the largest scalloped circle die in the Scalloped Circle die set. Place adhesive onto the left side of the circle and adhere the circle off center on the DSP so the circle is peaking off the edge of the DSP overlapping the white and just touching the Crumb Cake CS outer edge.
When you open the flap this is what the card looks like!
I added Iridescent Pastel Gems onto the sentiment piece to finish this card.
Repeat the same process with the second piece but flip it so the other side is facing to the front of the card and replace the Basic White layer with the Distressed Gold Specialty Paper.
Because the Distressed Gold adds so much color and texture I only used one Basic White layer for the sentiment piece. Stamp the sentiment and add a Pearl stamp as well.
I added the Iridescent Pastel Gems to this sentiment piece also.
I added the Iridescent Pastel Gems to this sentiment piece also.
This is what this second card looks when the flap is open. I added a Basic White inside piece to the inside for writing and stamped on it.
This is such an easy fun fold – hope you are inspired to try this and create some art of your own – one stamp at a time.
Happy Stamping,
Natalie
These are the cards I made from Rachel’s video examples – so cute these used the upcoming Sale-a-bration Adorable Owls stamp set and the Fancy Flora upcoming DSP!
