DSP – Teresa's Stampin' Spot

What To Do With Scraps

Hi! As promised, I am back today with my second card featuring the Biggest Wish stamp set.

If you are like me and save even 1/2″ scraps of our gorgeous Designer Series Paper, then I have a card for you!

Scraps, Deisgn Series Paper, Biggest Wish, Thanks, Stampin' Up!,, SU!, #22-23AnnualCatalog

I love the pop of bright colors from the Flowers & More Designer Series Paper (host item in the January-April Mini 2023). To create the panel, cut a piece of Basic Black card stock, 4″ x 2 1/4″ and grab coordinating strips of DSP that are 1/2″ wide. Adhere the strips at an angle on the Basic Black card stock leaving a small gap between each strip. Use your Paper Trimmer to cut off the strips that overhang the Basic Black.

The base of this card is Polished Pink – one of our retiring In Colors, cut at 4 1/4″ x 11, scored at 5 1/2″ and folded. The Basic Black panel is adhered in the middle of the card.

Emboss two pieces of Basic White card stock measuring 1 3/4″ x 4″ with the Thanks folder from the Thanks & Hello pack. I moved each piece to a different area to get different languages on each piece. Attach these to the card front using dimensionals.

The FRIEND is stamped in Polished Pink and then thanks is stamped in Blackberry Bliss overlapping slightly at the top. A Stitched Rectangle die is used to die cut the sentiment. Please note that I moved the die over and cut a second time to fit around the sentiment.

What do you think of today’s card? Check back tomorrow – I’ll have my 3rd and final card with this set.

Thanks for stopping by!

Favored Flowers Birthday

Hi! For today’s card, I am showcasing the Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper that you can earn FREE until Feb 28 with a minimum $50 purchase (prior to S/H and tax) in my on-line store.

DSP, Designer Series Paper, Favored Flowers DSP, #SAB2023, Stampin' Up!, SU!, Birthday

I love when I can use our gorgeous Designer Series Paper as the star of the card. This paper is SO pretty, it doesn’t need anything more than a ribbon and a sentiment. The sentiment is from the Beautifully Happy Stamp set – also FREE during Sale-A-Bration with a $100 purchase (prior to S/H and tax).

The sentiment is stamped on a scrap of Basic White in JetBlack StaZon and punched with the Double Oval punch. A scrap of Petal Pink cardstock was used to punch the scallop oval from the Double Oval punch. To finish the card, attach a piece of Petal Pink Soft Polyester Ribbon near the bottom and then use a smaller piece of the ribbon to tie a knot around it. This method allows the ends of the ribbon to lie horizontal on the card.

The base of the card is Thick Basic White and the DSP is attached after the ribbon is attached. The sentiment is attached using Mini Dimensionals.

Now, a little late, but here is the winner of the Counting Sheep Bundle!

Congratulations to Vonda for winning the Counting Sheep Bundle during my 18th Stampaversary Give Away! I’ll be in touch soon to get your information to get this in the mail to you!

Thanks so much for joining me today! Wishing you a great start to your weekend!

Fancy Fold with DSP

Hi! How are you today? We are winding down with Sale-A-Bration – as it ends on August 31, so I wanted to share with you one last card featuring the Wonderful World Bundle.

This one uses both the Designer Series Paper and the coordinating Stamp set that you get in the bundle. You still have time to earn this bundle FREE with a $100 purchase (US, prior to S/H and tax) in my on-line store.

Wonderful World, Very Best Occasions, Stampin' Up!, DSP, SU!, #SAB2022

Ok, so I did say that this was a Fancy Fold. what makes it that? The Designer Series Paper is actually 4″ x 12″, so when you open the card, here is what you see!

Wonderful World, DSP, Stampin' Up!, SU!, #SAB2022, Fancy Fold

Isn’t that pretty? Now you don’t have to worry about which side of the paper to showcase! This card showcases both! You could use the entire pack to make 36 cards (you would just have to forgo the strip inside the card).

Here’s what you need:

Base – Mossy Meadow – 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″
Designer Series Paper – 4″ x 12″, score at 5 1/4″ and 10 1/2″ – fold down on the first score and up on the second.
Inside – Basic White – 4″ x 5 1/4″
Strip (optional) – 1/2″ x 5 1/4″

Attach the back flap of the Designer Series Paper to the Base Mossy Meadow. Adhere the bottom flap of the Designer Series Paper to the front using Seal adhesive. Wrap the Mossy Meadow Braided Linen Thread (on the Clearance Rack for $2.80!) around the front and tie in a knot.

Use the Stampin’ Write Markers – Melon Mambo and Mossy Meadow, to ink the flower right on the stamp, and then stamp on a scrap of Basic White. Die cut with the Stylish Shapes circle die. Stamp the sentiment from Very Best Occasions (found in the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog) in StaZon Jet Black ink over the flower. Attach the circle to the card front using dimensionals.

I highly recommend the Very Best Occasions Stamp Set – the sentiments are prefect for card fronts – or insides, and covers Birthday, Christmas, Sympathy, Thinking of You, Thank You and just because. I love when a sentiment set covers many different purposes. With 3 kids out of the house, the sentiment above will be getting lots of use this coming year.

No Ink Required

Hi! How are you today? I hope today is a good day! I’ve had a chance to play with the Wonderful World Sale-a-Bration Bundle – which you can earn FREE through August 31 with a $100 purchase (US, prior to S/H and tax).

I wanted to share how easy it is to make a card using the pretty Designer Series Paper in this bundle – with no stamping required. (You could, tho, if you wanted to add a sentiment).

Wonderful World DSP, 2022SAB2, Stampin' Up!, SU!

The flowers in this Designer Series Paper are perfect for use on their own. For this card, I punched 3 of the flowers using the Postage Stamp punch. The layers for the card are:

Base – Thick Basic White – 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″ and folded.
Basic White – 5 1/4″ x 4″, run through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss with the Stripes and Splatters 3D Embossing Folder (just the top of the piece.
Wonderful World 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper – 1 1/2″ x 5 1/4″

I am using Mossy Meadow Braided Linen Trim which is on the Clearance Rack for just $2.80, behind the punched flowers. As I said, it was quick to put together and required no stamping.

I hope this helps you take a look at your Designer Series Paper in a whole new light!

More Fun With Scraps

Hi! Back today with another great way to use up Designer Series Paper scraps!

Expressions In Ink, Scraps, Hello, Friendship, Stampin' Up!, SU!, #2021AnnualCatalog, #usehtosescraps

I wish I had been able to get a better picture – this card is stunning in real life. The gold accents in the Designer Series Paper just pop with the Gold die cut.

The scraps measure 3/4″ x 3″ – so a 3″ x 3″ scrap is what you would need. The scraps are staggered on the card front and attached with dimensionals.

The base is Pale Papaya measuring 4 1/4″ x 11″, scored at 5 1/2″ and folded. The Basic White measures 4″ x 5 1/4″ and is embossed with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder.

This Designer Series Paper is the Expressions in Ink Specialty Paper -and truly can stand on its own. For this card, I paired it with a die from the Birds & More die set and Gold Foil.

The sentiment is stamped in Pear Pizzazz ink and is from the Forever Fern stamp set.

A few Metallic Pearls finish off the card. If you have not yet checked out the Expressions In Ink Designer Specialty Paper in the Annual Catalog, I highly recommend it!

There are just 2 weeks left of Sale-A-Bration! So don’t delay in getting those orders in. The Be Dazzling 6″ x 6″ paper has sold out and is no longer available.

More Scrappy Fun!

Hi! Continuing on with our Snailed It Suite this week for today’s card. And, wanted to give you another idea on how to use those Designer Series Paper scraps.

Hello, Friendship, Snailed It, DSP Scraps, Stampin' Up!, SU!, #JanJuneMini2021

This is such a fun layout to play with and so much you can do with it – plus a great way to use up those scraps!

For this card, I started with a piece of Designer Series Paper from the Snail Mail Designer Series Paper pack measuring 4 1/2″ x 3 1/4″. On the 4 1/2″ side, cut at 2 1/4″. Rotate, keeping both pieces together, and on the 3 1/4″ side, cut at 1 5/8″. You now have 4 equal sized rectangles. Keep them in order for placement on the card.

For a mat, I used Real Red Cardstock measuring 4 3/4″ x 3 1/2″. Cut on the 4 3/4″ side at 2 3/8″. Rotate, keeping both pieces together, and cut on the 3 1/2″ side at 1 3/4″. Attach the Designer Series Pieces to these 4 Real Red pieces.

For the base of the card, I used Blushing Bride measuring 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″ on the 8 1/2″ side and folded in half. A layer of Basic White cardstock measuring 5 1/4″ x 4″ is layered on top.

Adhere 3 of the 4 squares as shown in the pattern above to the Basic White layer. Stamp your sentiment in the lower right corner. I punched a 2″ Real Red circle from scrap cardstock.

The mushrooms are stamped in Jet Black StaZon and colored with Watercolor Pencils and a Blender Pen. Colors are Garden Green, Real Red, Flirty Flamingo and Daffodil Delight.

Here’s another version using the Snail:

Snailed It, Birthday, DSP Scraps, Stampin' Up!, SU!, #JanJuneMini2021

You don’t have to use all the same Designer Series Paper pattern, the final rectangles measure 2 1/4″ x 1 5/8″. The mat layers measures 2 3/8″ x 1 3/4″.

Purchase the Snail Mail Suite Collection in my on-line store! The suite qualifies you for a FREE Sale-A-Bration item when purchased prior to Feb 28th! Don’t miss out!

Happy Birthday!

Hi! Today is my birthday so I have a cute Gift Card holder to share with you featuring the Way To Goat stamp set!

This stamp set is adorable! I shared this card with a group of ladies during a workshop and then decided to use it during this past week’s Facebook Live. It is just that cute not to share!

Here’s what you need: (dimensions below are height by length)

Base Cardstock – 4 1/4″ x 8″ – score at 2 1/2″ on the 8″ side.
Base Cardstock – 3 3/4″ x 8″ – score at 4″ and fold in half.
Coordinating Mat Cardstock – 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″
Coordinating Mat Cardstock – 4 1/8″ x 2 3/8″
Coordinating Mat Cardstock – 3″ x 3″
Designer Series Paper – 4″ x 5 1/4″
Designer Series Paper – 4″ x 2 1/4″
Designer Series Paper – 3 5/8″ x 3 7/8″
Designer Series Paper – 2″ x 4″
Neutral Cardstock – 3 5/8″ x 3 7/8″
Neutral Cardstock – 2 7/8″ x 2 7/8″

The assembly for this card is shown in this video:

The goat is stamped in Memento Black Ink and colored with Stampin’ Blends. The one above uses Smoky Slate and Petal Pink. In the video, I switched to Gray Granite for the goat.

One important tip – adhere the ribbon to the very base before adhering any of the layers. If you forget this step, you could just wrap the ribbon around the back of the card as well.

The Designer Series Paper used is the Artistry Blooms Designer Series Paper from the 2020 Annual Catalog. It is on sale this month for 15% off! This paper is perfect for both male and female cards – I LOVE when my paper packs are versatile and have patterns and colors for anyone!

It’s as Easy As This

Hi! How are you? Sorry I’ve been MIA for the past 6-7 weeks. Life threw some curve balls and I had to let my blog sit during that time. Well, I am back and I wanted to catch you up with some of the cards I’ve been making.

This first one – while it looks complicated, is so easy to do! Thanks to Sandy’s Craft Studio for this fun Angle-Cut Designer Series Paper technique.

Does this angle cut Designer Series Paper look hard? Well, I’m here to show you how easy it is to make 4 cards from one piece of 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. For this card, I used the Ornate Garden Designer Series Paper. The sentiment is from Lovely You and the flowers from Daisy Lane.

Start with a 6″ x 6″ piece of your favorite DSP and a 6 1/4″ x 6 1/4″ of coordinating cardstock.

For the DSP, make a small mark at 1 1/2″ on all 4 sides. Then, watch the video below to show you how to cut.

For the Cardstock, make your marks at 1 5/8″ and follow the same cutting instructions.

I made 2 of the card above and 2 of this card with the four pieces:

This sentiment comes from the Butterfly Wishes Stamp set and the flower from the Lovely You stamp set. The colors are Terracotta Tile, Crushed Curry and Old Olive. The sentiment is stamped in Early Espresso.

Here’s the video showing you how to cut the DSP and cardstock:
