one inch dsp strip cards

by nataliegramleystamps | Sep 15, 2023 | card samples, Christmas card ideas, Designer Series Paper, stamps ink paper, techniques

I love sending Christmas cards out – even if it is the only time I communicate with some people I hope it shows them that even in this busy life I still think of them at this special time of year! Since I send out a TON of cards I look for pretty and easy cards that will work in bulk and this is a perfect option.
These simple cards allow our gorgeous Designer Series Paper to do all the work!

Measurements
BASE: Basic White 8 1/2 X 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4
Layer: 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″
Designer Series Paper: (2) 1″ x 2 5/8″
(2) 1″ x 3 7/8″
Coordinating Colored Cardstock: 4″ x 5 1/4″

Fold the Basic White card base at the score line and burnish with your bone folder for a crisp clean fold.

Adhere the Basic white layer to the colored cardstock layer.

Using liquid glue adhere the 1 inch strips around the border of the White layer leaving an even 1/8″ border on the outside and in between the DSP pieces. Alternate the sizes of the DSP pieces. I cut the same images for each size so that the opposing panels would be identical or similar you could choose to use four images as well. I liked the symmetrical look. See sample below for reference.
Attach the layered piece to the card front.

Using a coordinating ink color stamp a sentiment in the center and add embellishments if you like but it is pretty all on it’s own with the gorgeous paper!

You can add detail to the Basic White layer with ink and a mask as I did in this other sample below.

Or just change the paper and the color scheme and get a beautiful alternative look!

These cards are perfect for those of us with busy lives or that send a lot of Christmas cards!

Try this DSP strip technique with paper you have in your craft room and let me know what you come up with! Now go and create some art of your very own – one stamp at a time!!

Happy Stampin’

fun graduation card

by nataliegramleystamps | May 26, 2023 | 3D projects, card samples, out of the box stamping, stamps ink paper, techniques

Shape cards are oh so fun and what says graduation more than a cap and gown right?
This shape card is a bit of scoring but not difficult at all and you can create a cap or mortar board in no time!

Base: Match the color to the graduating school! I did this card as a special order request and the school colors were green and white!
9 3/4″ x 4 1/4″
Basic white CS: (1) 3″ x 4″
(1) 2 3/4″ square
Silver Foil scrap for die cut

Score the cardstock at 5 1/2″

There will be a longer side and a shorter side.
Using the Simply Scored scoring tool mark the shorter side at 2 1/8″ in the top center of the cardstock.
Then mark the paper 2 1/8″ above the 5 1/2″ score line and 2 1/8″ mark below the score line on both sides of the paper.

Place the middle 2 1/8″ mark in one track in the Simply Scoring tool and pivot the paper so the top mark on the left hand side of the paper appears in the middle of the same track. Score diagonally between the top middle and the 2 1/8″ mark on the left side of the cardstock. Twist the paper and do the opposite diagonal line strating from the top 2 1/8″ mark in the middle to the 2 1/8″ mark above the 5 1/2″ score line on the right side of the paper. This will make a point at the top middle of the shorter side.

Place a ruler on the top 2 1/8″ mark on the left side of the paper across to the 2 1/8″ mark below the 5 1/2″ score line on the right side of the paper and score a diagonal line from the top left mark to the bottom right mark.

Do the same diagonal score mark in the opposite direction from the top right hand mark to the bottom left hand mark.

When complete your lines will intersect in an X over the middle of the 5 1/2″ score line and look like the photo below!

Cut off the top two triangles on the short side of the card.

Fold the score lines in creating a valley fold on the two horizontal lines at the 5 1/2″ original score line and mountain folds for the diagonal score lines so that the card will start to look like the photo below.

Finish folding the card so that it comes completely together. Reopen the card and after stamping the sentiments (I used two from the Beautiful Balloons stamp set in coordinating Shaded Spruce ink)
Adhere the 4″ x 3″ cardstock with glue or Stampin’ Seal on all three outside edges DO NOT PUT GLUE Or ADHESIVE ON THE TOP EDGE!
Adhere down with an even border on the card inside bottom. Stamp the sentiment for the 2 3/4″ square on a diagonal and adhere to the inside diamond of the card as shown below.

I die cut the balloon tassels for the mortar board tassel out of Silver foil and adhered it to the center of the outside diamond. I attached a medium Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewel to the top of the tassel and the card is done except for the money to the graduate!
