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!

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:

Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper

Inked Botanicals 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper

This one was a surprise for me... it is so much prettier in person than what I saw in the catalog or in my Online Store.  It can coordinate with so much, but in the catalog, it is a part of a collection called Inked Botanicals Suite Collection.  

In my project, I paired it up with the Dainty Delight stamps and dies:  

#stampwithlisabrown #inkedbotanicals #cardfront

#stampwithlisabrown #inkedbotanicals #top #stampwithlisabrown #inkedbotanicals #inside
Here are the basics:

  • Calypso Coral card base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 and scored at 1-1/2" and 5-3/4"
  • Calypso Coral CS square is 3 x 3
  • Inked Botanicals DSP:  you need 1 each:  1-3/8 x 5-3/8; 2-5/8 x 5-3/8; and 2-7/8 x 7-2/8

The DSP has a core color of Very Vanilla so that is what I used to stamp the flowers on and for the inside.  I used scrap DSP on the inside to carry the theme over.

Country Lazy Days

I couldn't help it!  I could not help combining the Countryside Inn Suite and the Lazy Days Bundle together. 

My project just reminds me of the weather we are having here now in Ohio.  Warm days and a little cooler evenings.  Perfect for sitting on the front porch or back deck and enjoying the view. 

Porch

Sometimes there's just nothing better at the end of a long day.  

So I used the Lazy Days Bundle, combined with the Countryside Inn Suite to create a split card. 

My Night of Navy Card Stock:

  • Base is 4-1/4 x 11.  Scored at 5-1/2" then I cut down to 4-1/4 x 7 
  • With left overs, cut a piece to 1-1/2 x 4-1/4
  • You will also need 3 x 4-3/4 pieces for the label

Balmy Blue Card Stock mats are 1-3/8 x 4-1/8 and you need two pieces. And 1 x 2-3/4 for the trellis.

DSP:  two pieces 1-1/4 x 4 and for the inside, 4 x 5-1/4

I used Blending Brushes and Stampin' Blends alcohol markers to color the flower pots.  

Just a reminder:  DESIGNER SERIES PAPER SALE is happening now until end of the month (June 2023)

Creative Fold With Fancy Flora Suite Collection

Fancy Flora Suite Collection:  two stamp sets, two die sets, ribbon, embellishments, Fine Shimmer paper and 6x6" paper stack, it has everything! 

I managed to get a little bit of everything into my project.  This is one of those where one photo just would not capture it all.  My favorite part, besides the Fine Shimmer paper, is carrying the design on the inside!

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

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!
