getting the most out of your designer series paper

When you cut your Designer Series Paper efficiently it can go a long way! And this card is a perfect example of that efficiency!

I cut the 6″ x 6″ Subtle DSP from four sheets in half at 3″ and then at 1/2″, 3/4″ and 1″ sections depending upon the color, stretching the amount of cards you can do with just a few sheets of paper!

Measurements:
BASE: Basic White CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
Layer: 3″ x 5″
Basic Black CS: 4″ x 5 1/4″
DSP: 3″ x 1/2″, 3″ x 3/4″, 3″ x 1″
Lemon Lolly CS: 3″ x 1 1/4″

On the long 5 1/2″ side, rub the upper edge of the paper with an embossing buddy from the embossing accessories kit. Stamp the Wishing open sentiment in Versamark and sprinkle with the White embossing powder and heat set with the Heat Tool until melted.
Adhere to the Basic White card base, this will have the wishing turned to a vertical position.
Adhere the top strip of DSP to the 3″ x 5″ Basic White layer, leaving an even border on the top edge.
Then adhere the bottom strip, leaving an even 1/4″ border on the edge.
Stamp the open script YOU on the Lemon Lolly CS and adhere to the center of the Basic White layer.
Then adhere the remaining two pieces of DSP in the spaces in between the Lemon Lolly and the top and bottom DSP pieces. This will help get even spacing.
Wrap some Basic White Twine around the top portion of the 3″ x 5″ Basic White layer and tie in a knot.
Adhere this layer to the right of the embossed Wishing sentiment on the Basic Black CS layer.
Pick your coordinating sentiment and stamp on the Soft Seafoam DSP.

What a fun way to use some of your Designer Series Paper! Try this easy card design and let me see what you create!

Now go and make some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’

easy lights aglow dsp card

easy lights aglow dsp card

One of the best things about our Designer Series papers is how gorgeous they are! The second best thing about them…how easy they make creating a card that is both beautiful and fast!

Measurements:
Base: Cheery Cobbler 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
Distressed Gold Specialty paper 3 1/2″ square
Lights Aglow Specialty DSP 3″ square
Inside Layer 4″ x 5 1/4″

In the Lights Aglow paper stack there are several sheets of 4 – 3″x3″ designs on one 6″ x 6″ piece – the piece of DSP I choose is the Cheery Cobbler piece with the four gold foiled designs and cut them into 3″ squares.
Gather and cut all cardstock and DSP.

Stamp the inside layer with a sentiment from the Brightest Glow stamp set in coordinating Cherry Cobbler Ink and adhere to the inside back of the card base.
Adhere the Distressed Gold Specialty paper to the upper center of the Cherry Cobbler card front. Stamp the center of the gold foiled section with the smaller sentiment from the Brightest Glow stamp set, pop it up on Stampin’ Dimensionals and adhere to the 3 1/2″ square of distressed Gold Specialty paper.
Tie a bow from the Gold Shimmer ribbon and adhere to the center bottom of the card front with Mini Glue Dots.
Want to step it up emboss the sentiment to make it pop! I tried it in White and Gold Embossing Powder for to spectacular and unique looks!

Try this paper and see how easy creating quick, easy and lovely art of your own can be – one stamp at a time!

Stampin’ Up! GARAGE SALE Sale-a-bration Style!

Stampin’ Up! GARAGE SALE Sale-a-bration Style!

I apologize for my spotty posts this summer! We have some crazy times going on at the Gramley residences! Yes that is residences plural!), last week we purchased a new home in Conneaut Lake, Pennsylvania. At the end of this school year my “baby” will graduate from high school and we will be re-locating to the other side of the state to our forever home on the banks of Conneaut Lake. I am super excited but also very sad at the same time – to be leaving all of my friends and customers. I will still be available on line (hostessing Zoom Classes) and will continue to hold classes in my home for as long as I am able to! So come out and stamp with me in person soon!

Our Second Sale-a-bration is underway and I am hostessing a Sale-a-bration Open House this coming Wednesday, August 25th from 12-4pm.
And I am also holding a Stampin’ Up! Garage Sale – Sale-a-bration Style! What does that mean! Well thought you’d never ask!!!

Purchase $50 in retired products (also listed on my website in the Retired Products section for those of you that wish to participate from afar – just need to add shipping costs!) and Recieve a gift with your qualifying order. Pick your choice of a Level One CURRENT Sale-a-bration set or TWO additional $10 stamp sets from my retired stash! Don’t want to move all this retired stuff!

I will be holding a virtual stamp card class on Tuesday the 24th at 7:30pm via Zoom
$30 for 10 cards or $35 if I need to mail the materials to you.
On Wednesday – come out for an evening of fun August 25th after the Open House at 7pm (the retired sets will still be available to view and purchase!) Please RSVP if you would like a spot!

Happy Stampin’
