Good morning! How are you today? I am back with Part 3 of my One Sheet Wonder using the Birthday Boutique Designer Paper in the Occasions Catalog! Sorry for the break, but I hope you enjoyed the Valentine Blog Hop and the GDP challenge card.
First up, a pocket card! I love pocket cards – they are a bit different and also allows you to hide something inside. The DSP rectangle is cut diagonally and one triangle flipped over so that you once again get to see both sides of the paper. I decided to form a pocket with the two triangles and to place my sentiment inside the pocket. The card still opens up as well, so you can write your message on the inside. The sentiment is from Suite Sayings while the border is a stamp from the Bloomin’ Love stamp set. I used markers to color the stamp directly.
Next up, this quilted panel card. For this one, you cut four 1 1/4″ squares diagonally, flipping over half of each one, to create the four points. I have a 5th square under the butterfly. I thought the foil doily was a nice touch for this card. The sentiment is from A Dozen Thoughts.
Last card for today. Just a plain strip of the Designer Paper this time. I opted to emboss my base card stock (this is a retired embossing folder), before attaching my DSP strip. I opted to use punches to layer my sentiment to make it pop just a bit. I also stamped the butterfly from the Grateful Bunch stamp set and punched him out to give my layered butterfly a different look. A little ribbon to finish it off.
So, what do you think of the cards so far? I have three more to finish and I will share the 12×12 cutting template that I used as well. I will also include a picture of all twelve cards according to the cut picture so you can see what pieces in the cut map go on each card.
Would love to hear your thoughts and if you would try this!
Thanks for stopping by!

As you can see, I am still working on birthday cards – as February is chock full of them for me – especially for the males in my family. You could easily change this into a Valentine’s card by using the sentiment “You send me Soaring” in place of the Happy Birthday – maybe color the heart red and there you go. I dressed up the card with a little of the new two toned Baker’s Twine found in the Occasions’s catalog.
Welcome back! I am having fun playing with the Sale-A-Bration set Honeycomb Happiness. I still haven’t used the honeycomb accessories that coordinate with this set – but I will. This is a CASE (with a slight change) of one of the cards in the Sale-A-Bration catalog. I liked the layout. I used the blender pens to lighten up the ice cream – black raspberry is one of my favorite flavors. The sentiment is embossed in White Embossing Powder on black card stock.
