4 up designer series paper card

by nataliegramleystamps | Dec 30, 2022 | Designer Series Paper, retiring products, sneak peak, stamps ink paper, techniques

This is a fun and easy card that uses some of that gorgeous Designer Series Paper that we all love and hoard! Stampin’ Up’s DSP paper packs are extra special because they color coordinate within the pack and usually back to front on the double sided designs but most importantly with the color families that Stampin’ Up! is famous for – so the DSP matches the cardstock and the ink and the embellishments!

Choose 4 pieces of coordinating cardstock or 2 pieces of double sided coordinating Designer Series paper. Cut the paper to 4″ x 5 1/4″. Then cut on the 4″ side at 3 1/2″ leaving two pieces of 3 1/2″ x 5 1/4″ and 1 1/2″ x 5 1/4″. Then turn the paper 90 degrees and cut along the 5 1/4″ side at 3 1/4″ leaving four pieces 2 1/2″ x 3 1/4″,
1 1/2″ x 3 1/4″, 2 1/2″ x 2″ and 1 1/2″ x 2″.
Arrange them in a rectangle so that you have four different patterns leaving an even 1/8″ border all the way around.

Take Basic White Thick cardstock and cut at 4 1/4″ x 11″ and score at 5 1/2″. Adhere first rectangle onto the card base and continue adhering down with about 1/8″ border on the two outside edges.

Adhere the second rectangle to the card.

Adhere the third rectangle and place tape on the last rectangle and adhere securing the edges even to 1/8″ border.

Wrap a length of Gray Granite ribbon around your four fingers twice and cut the length off the roll with scissors. Place two pieces of Stampin’ Seal + onto the corner of the card and place the ribbon in your desired pattern over the tape and adhere down to the card.

Die cut the second to the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes die set and stamp the larger flower image from the Fitting Florets stamp set in Smoky Slate.

Then stamp the Thank you with all my heart sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

Pop up the sentiment piece on Stampin’ Dimensionals and pop up over the ribbon and adhere down to the card front surface.

Adhere the upcoming Adhesive-Backed Milky Gems to the card so that extra special bling!

I did this card with the same papers in both horizontal and vertical orientations to show that just a little thing can make the difference!

Here are both 4 UP DSP cards – hope you liked this easy recipe for successful card making! Try to make some art of your own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’
Natalie

product early release – fitting florets collection and limited time products

by nataliegramleystamps | Nov 2, 2022 | card samples, Designer Series Paper, sneak peak, special offer, stamps ink paper

Yesterday this early product release became available.

Starting 1 November 2022, customers can order items from the Fitting Florets Collection. All items in the collection can be ordered separately. No limits apply during the customer sales period.

The following exclusive products are only available while supplies last:

Framed & Festive Cling Stamp Set (item 160888)*
Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper (item 161814)
Gold Adhesive-Backed Swirls (item 161822)

The following will be available for purchase in the Mini Catalog starting January 2023:

Framed Florets Bundle (item 162407)
Framed Florets Photopolymer Stamp Set (item 161815)*
Framed Florets Dies (item 160623)

These are some samples with the products from the early release. This first card uses the
Designer Series paper and the dies. This die set was designed because many of our customers and demonstrators asked for Oval dies to come back – this is Stampin’ Up!’s answer to that request. This card also uses the Framed and Festive stamp set.

This sample uses the bundle and exclusive Designer Series Paper. The bling on this card is the 2022-2024 In Color Matte Dots. The Balmy Blue cardstock used two die cut ovals the outside die cuts only the hearts out of the cardstock, the inside is cut with another die to cut the inside oval.

This sample starts with a Balmy Blue base cardstock one of the colors in the exclusive DSP, the DSP is cut in half diagonally. Die cuts include two of the ovals and leaf outlines. I also fussy cut one of the flower clusters from the Fitting Florets DSP and finished off the card with the In Color Matte Dots.

An oval die cut sets the stage to highlight the gorgeous DSP in blues and greens! A popped up sentiment with Stampin’ Dimensionals adds depth and dimension to this card with Matte Dots.

This card uses the left over piece from our last sample and places it as an overlay on the Basic White cardstock oval die cut. The Soft Succulent base cardstock is covered with a Soft Succulent DSP subtle paper under the die cut oval. I love how all of the DSP in this packet coordinate together.

This card sample features Soft Suede ink stamped directly onto the card base with the die cut overlaid onto the base.

This card uses the falala sentiment from the exclusive early release stamp set called Framed and Festive stamp set. I added fussy cut flowers from the other exclusive early release DSP Fitting Florets – these two products plus the gold spiral embellishments are only available until supplies last!

This sample creates a background with a stamp on the base card and then adhere an oval die along with some leaf outline dies.

The other diagonal cut of DSP is used on this card plus two die cut ovals and the sentiment is from the Framed and Festive exclusive sentiment stamp set. A fussy cut flower cluster adds an easy way to use the DSP to pop the color on this card.
