easy designer series paper scrap note cards

easy designer series paper scrap note cards

by | Mar 11, 2022 | card samples, Designer Series Paper

I wanted to use up some retired designer series paper – the Simply Marbelous DSP pack came FREE last month for Sale-a-bration. I needed to send some a packet of thank you cards as a surprise gift for my cousin who is in Memphis with her daughter that I spoke about last blog post – SHHHH!! it’s a surprise! She will need lots of thank you cards! These were so easy!

I used the notecards and envelopes for the Simply Marbelous DSP – this ws a 6″ square pack so I cut it in half and then in one inch strips or you can use different width scraps of any coordinating DSP.

Layer them evenly spaced across the note card or use 4″ high strips for a regular card as the one I made using Pattern Party scraps.

framing with designer series paper scraps

framing with designer series paper scraps

by | Feb 9, 2022 | card samples, Designer Series Paper, techniques

Using Designer Series Paper scraps to make a card is a bonus!

Card base: Granny Apple Green 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
Card inset: Pool Party 5 1/4″ x 4″
Basic White: 1 1/2″ x 3″
Designer Series paper:
2 pieces of 1″ x 4″ 2 different patterns
2 pieces of 1″ x 2 3/4″ 2 different patterns
scrap for sentiment piece

Stamp the Basic White piece with Tuxedo Black Memento ink. The sample uses Blessings of Home and color them in with the Stampin’ Blends.
Adhere the Pool Party insert to the Granny Apple Green piece and then adhere the 1 inch strips in a frame outline.
Adhere the center focal piece to the center of the framed in section.

Using a scrap, stamp the sentiment and the flower stamp in second generation (stamp off and then without re-inking stamp onto the paper in a lighter tone) over the sentiment.

Add Black Matte dots for embellishments to finish off the easy and quick card.

Try this fun way to use scraps of Designer Series Paper. Hope this inspires you to create your own art – one stamp at a time.

Happy Stampin’

1 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ scored at 1/2″
Basic White CS 4″ x 5 1/4″

Basic White CS
DSP #2: 2 1/2″ x 5 1/4″ (this goes on the front)
scraps in Basic White and a coordinating
colored CS for the sentiment focal piece

The DSP I am using for this sample is available to Hostesses only called Pattern Party – rich, vibrant colors in fun patterns on one side and black and white geometric designs on the flip side!! Interested in earning this and other benefits – contact me about becoming a hostess and earning free product and the ability to order Hostess exclusive stamp sets and papers!

Place Stampin’ Seal + or Tear&Tape strong adhesive on the 1/2″ side of the 1 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ Basic Black cardstock and adhere to the inside of the black cardstock this is the larger piece (4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″.
Adhere DSP #1 to the right hand side of the Basic White cardstock piece, as shown in photo below.
Adhere this piece of decorated cardstock to the inside of the card covering up the flap piece you just adhered to the inside back of the card.
Punch three pieces of Cardstock – for this card I used the Tailored Tag punch and punched two in Basic White and one in Poppy Parade.

Cut the Poppy Parade Tailored tag punch in half and mount the half pieces to the back side of the punch sticking up evenly from the top and the bottom then adhere the second Basic White punch to the backside to finish the focal sentiment piece.

Adhere the DSP #2 piece to the card front.
Adhere the punched piece to the end of the flap. I out a glue dot on the inside of the flap to help the card stay closed!

Super simple card with loads of WOW factor!

have a great day and hope you will make time to create some art of your own – it is good for the soul!!
