Cards - Halloween & Fall Feed

Using Your 6x6 Designer Paper

Hello!  And thanks for stopping by. 

Do you hate cutting into a 6 x 6 designer series paper stack or 12 x 12 for that matter?  Do you find your saving paper, or wish you could show more?  Well, I have a solution for you!

Here's another fall project share featuring the All About Autumn suite collection.  I am gone to show you how to show off as much of a piece of 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper.  So now you don't have to be so worried about cutting that 12 x 12 or using up your 6x 6 papers.  

Look at that shining foil!  

#allaboutautumn #lisabrown #tri-fold

Here's how the card opens... and how it shows off just about a full piece of 6 x 6 DSP!

So I did not notice when I took the photo, but the plain white rectangle looks like it is attached to the front rectangle, but it is not.  The black mat rectangle and the inside white are the same size.  If that area is not large enough for your sentiment, don't be afraid to put a piece of white on the back of your card. 

#allaboutautumn #stampwithlisabrown #fold

  • The card base is 5-1/5 x 8-1/2 and scored at 2-1/8 and 4-1/4
  • 6 x 6 DSP is cut down to 5-3/8 x 6 and the cut into 2" strips.  
  • Another piece of DSP (the one with foil) is 2 x 5-3/8

I think I'm going to adapt this multiple paneled card for Christmas!  I have lots of DSP to share. 

Here is a list of supplies I used:

So Grateful Pop Out Creative Fold

So Grateful... November is a good reminder of what we are grateful for; family, friends and simple blessings in  our life.  I wanted to share this sweet card project that is a creative fold with a surprising inside.  

The featured stamp set is called Apple Harvest and the background was made with the Gingham embossing folder.

My card base is Real Red CS (card stock) cut to  5-1/2 x 8-1/2 and scored at 2-1/8 from each end.

The front panels are two pieces of Basic White CS cut to 2 x 5-3/8.  Take Real  Red ink pad and lightly rub over the raised image side of the Gingham embossing folder, and emboss your two panels.

On a 2-3/4 x 3-3/4 piece of Basic White, stamp your words and apple image with Black Memento.  I used the following Stampin' Blends makers to color:  Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Granny Apple Green, Old Olive, Soft Sea Foam, Balmy Blue and the Color Lifter.   Mat this to a piece of Granny Apple Green Cs that is 3 x 4. 

Surprise Inside:

To make the pop-up pieces:  cut 2  pieces of Basic White CS 1 x 5" and score at 1", 2-3/16" and 4

I hope you  liked the surprise inside!  Below is a list of products I used for quick reference.

BeeBlogHopOpeningIcon

Thank you for joining us for this month's Team Blog Hop!

I think I say this each year... Fall is my favorite season!  The fresh, crisp air and beautiful colors.  Funny, even though it means plants, flowers, and trees are losing their foliage and dying out for the year, it is more rejuvenating to me than spring. 

I'm excited to share my fall project with you, which is a creative fold card, featuring the Hello Harvest Bundle and Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper. 

Be sure to read to the end for 2 (two) incredible September deals happening now!

We BEE Stamping TEAM Blog Hop - Fall Is In the Air

BeeBlogHopOpeningIcon

Welcome to our October Team Blog Hop!  Fall is my favorite time of the year so I am excited to have this as our topic for this month. 

I chose to use the Quiet Meadow Bundle as the focal of my project.  What a great stamp and die set.  I hope you like my project and my supply list can be found below. 

#fall#stampwithlisabrown

Card Details:

  • Soft Suede card base.  5-1/2 x 8-1/2 scored and folded at 4-1/4
  • Adhere a 4-1/8 x 5-3/8 piece of the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper
  • Next I used a piece of Very Vanilla CS that was 4 x 5-1/4.  To this, you will want to stamp the word stamp in Soft Suede ink all over your Vanilla card stock.  Then hand tear the edges so it is approximately 3-3/4 x 5 (does not have to be exact).  Next, use a sponge dauber to add Soft Suede ink the the edges and adhere to card front
  • Die cut flowers and leaves as shown and adhere to card front.  I added the Rich Razzleberry and So Saffron flowers with Dimensionals
  • Stamp words in Soft Suede and die cut.  Add to card with Dimensionals
  • Die die and add butterflies
  • Embellish with a Bumblebee Trinket, In Color Gems and Gold Cording

SAVI Sunday - Episode 35 Using DSP Scraps

Hey everyone!  Hope you are well.  I got to spend some time with my nieces and nephew today, which was great.  It was a couple of weeks since I had seen them and the two little ones were so excited to see Auntie.  We played on the swing set, and made fake Smores (bark for graham crackers, rocks for marshmallows, and fallen acorns for the chocolate).  They picked sticks and we took colorful fall leaves rolled up, then poked through our sticks to make our fake fire...LOL!  It was great to see them use such imagination.  I loved every minute of it. 

Any ways, so I am posting a little late Sunday night for my Savi Sunday but I'm here.  Tonight I am showing two projects using Designer Series Paper that is included in the DSP Sale (ending October 31, 2020).
