sale-a-bration is in full swing with simple stamping card

Here is a simple stamping project with some adorably whimsical FREE DSP from the new Sale-a-bration catalog available yesterday. This 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper coordinates with a new bundle in the January to April 2025 Mini catalog called Terrific Toadstools Bundle.
I am using another set from the mini catalog called With you in Mind instead of the coordinating stamp set to show you can use the paper without having to purchase the coordinating set if you do not want and still use it with other sets!

Measurments:
BASE: Granny Apple Green CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
Basic White layer: 3 1/4″ square
scraps for the flower and leaf images
DSP: 3″ Square cut in half diagonally and then
cut one of the triangles in half to create two smaller triangles. use stack, cut and shuffle technique.

Stamp the large sentiment on the bottom 1/3 of the card front in Granny Apple Green ink.
Stamp the leaf image around the outside of the card edges.
Cut the DSP squares in half and then cut just one of those triangles in half so you have one large and two smaller triangles.
I cut multiple designs of this paper and then shuffled the papers so the designs would be different in each of the triangular spaces.
Adhere to the 3 1/4″ Basic White square layer.
Adhere the Basic White square above the sentiment on the card front.
I added some Sale-a-bration embellishments to finish off the card!

Try this easy stack, cut and shuffle technique with coordinating paper that you have lying around and create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

cut stack shuffle cards

cut stack shuffle cards

This technique is called Cut, Stack, and Shuffle! Thanks to my upline Denise W. for sharing this original idea that she got from Candy R. This is another great idea for easy cards using designer series paper. One of the fabulous things about designer series paper that Stampin’ Up! produces is that the entire pack of paper usually coordinates with other pieces of Designer Series Paper.

Measurements:
4 cards of colored cardstock 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
4 pieces of 4 different patterns of DSP –
4″ x 5 1/4″
scrap cardstock in coordinating colors
scrap pieces of Basic White

The other side of the Pattern Party hostess
DSP is Black and White and presents a totally different look for the cards.

Place all four pieces of DSP stacked on one another and cut at 2 3/4″ along the 4″ side

Take the larger piece and cut at 3″ along the
5 1/4″ side.
Cut the smaller section at 2″.
Make four piles of the 2 3/4″ x 3″.
Shuffle the 1 1/4″ pieces starting with the second pile and place beside the other piece.
Take the 3 1/4″ x 1 1/4″ pieces and start at the third pile and shuffle all four pieces.
Take the last pieces and starting with the fourth pile shuffle.
These are two ways to shuffle the same pieces. Notice how just shuffling the same pieces make the design look totally different.
Adhere the four pieces to the base card of Flirty Flamingo
Decorate the cards with the sentiments and embellishments to complete the cards.
Here are two samples.
Here are all four samples of the shuffled cards.
If you turn over the DSP to the black and white side, the cards take on a different tone!
Love this technique and it is so easy to create pretty cards.
Hope this inspires you to create some beautiful and easy cards. Go and create some art – one stamp at a time.

Happy Stampin’
