The Iconic bundle and the designer paper are all Online Exclusives...this only means that they are shown in the online store and not in the catalog--but you can purchase them any way that you currently place orders.

As you will remember Tuesday we cut diagonlly through two pieces of designer paper--one was from right to left and the other from left to right.

The reason we cut them in opposite directions was to be able to re-orient our card front in the opposite direction...so here's our card for today...

PecanFor this card the major image, the acorns & leaves, are in the lower left section while the coordinating paper is in the upper right...it's fun to swith things up sometimes.

When we did this the orientation of the tag with the greeting seemed more visually appealing if it were horizontal instead of on the diagonal.

I'll give you step by step directions for today's project below followed by the supply list.

Stop by next week to see what's cookin!

Using Designer Paper with Iconic Images Stamps & Dies to Make Cards

Today we're Using Designer Paper with Iconic Images Stamps & Dies to Create Cards. For the last couple of weeks we've been using Designer Papers in fun ways. This week we're combining a new Designer Paper with a coordinating new set of stamps and dies.

Here's the new stamps & dies

And here are the 2 pieces of designer paper we're using from the Iconic Celebration DSP set---dots are reverse side of the acorns and the plaid is on the reverse side of the pumpkins...we are coordinating them as shown below for our cards this week.

The reason we're looking at 2 sheets of paper it thar our design this week uses half of one sheet and half of the other to create the card for today and Thursday.

Here's today's card...

CopperThe Iconic set has images for several seasons and occasions during the year.  Since it is September I saw the pumpkins and decided this was our focal point but wanted a coordinating piece to go with it...as I was thumbing through the series I saw the dotted sheet that was perfect.

I wanted a simple design since we are frequently in a rush...so I chose to cut the paper in diagonal halves to provide interest.

The Celebrate greeting is wonderful for so many occasions we used that as our verse stamped in the coordinating ink on a die cut from this die set.

Of course using the Sparkle Dots always adds that touch of charm to the card.

I'll give you step by step directions for today's project below followed by the supply list.

Stop by Thursday and see what we do with the DSP for another creation!

Another Tip & Trick for Using Designer Paper for Card-making

Today we're discovering another Tip & Trick for Using Designer Paper for Card-making. Tuesday we created a really fun card by stamping directly on the designer paper...if you missed it check it out here Click here to see Tuesday's Card.

Again, today we're using the Peach Pie designer paper from the 2024-2026 In Color DSP pack--so many pretty colors to choose from!

Here's today's feature...

Circle

And a closer peak...

Circle cuUsing the same Peach Pie base and overlay...this time the overlay was dry embossed with the Dashing Designs embossing folder (in the annual catalog).

We selected the Peach Pie designer paper with the small circles this time and die cut that lovely decorative circle (Spotlight on Nature) for our focal point. Now here's the fun Tip and Trick...we stamped the leaves outline image (also Spotlight on Nature) in Memento ink directly on the designer paper AND, then we colored the image with our Blends..because of the design we chose---a bit subtle & not overpowering... the image and the coloring do not show through. Isn't that an awesome focal point?

We added an under circle with a different decorative edge and lets the first circle show through the edging quite nicely.

The Textured Dots keep with the autumn theme as does the black twine bow on the leaf stem.

The 'thanks' was stamped on a coordinating Pumpkin label and popped up with dimensionals.

Stop by next Tuesday for our newest creation!

Tips & Tricks of Using Designer Paper in Card-making

Today we're discovering more Tips & Tricks of Using Desinger Paper in Card-making. Today's designer paper is the 2024-2026 In Color DSP....

Screenshot 2024-08-21 121854

Here's today's creations....

Wheat

& a bit closer look at the focal point...

Wheat cu

We selected the Peach Pie cardstock as our base and then nabbed the striped design of the same color from the In Color DSP pack.  The base was covered with a Peach layer embossed with the Painted Texture folder--it's a nice texture but doesn't overpower the focal point--it stays in the background.

We did an underlayer for the DSP in Pumpkin Pie (sounds like a bakery here, right? all these pies) which adds a bit of contrast and makes that designer paper pop.

Now we used the wheat and greeting from the Autumn Expressions stamp set (new one in the Holiday mini that is available tomorrow!). We chose the wheat for it's solid image...didn't need any coloring and coordiates well with the greeting.

We topped the wheat with the black twine bow that sets it off nicely. The Textured Dots embellishments were just the best final touch.

I'll give you step by step directions for today's project below followed by the supply list.

Stop by Thursday and see what we do with the DSP for another creation!
