A pretty dsp pinwheel card made using the Mixed Patterns designer Series paper from Stampin' Up!

Designer Series Pinwheel Card

Today I am sharing a pretty, dsp pinwheel card inspired by fellow demonstrator Patti Dolan.  I have used the pretty Mixed Patterns designer series paper (dsp) to make my card.

Colours used to make this card are:

 

I created the dsp pinwheel card using the following supplies:

Balmy Blue card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Night of Navy card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – one for the inside
Mixed Up Patterns dsp – 12” by 1”
Night of Navy card – 1” by 1” x 2

 

I lightly drew two pencil lines on one of the 5½” by 3¾” pieces of Basic White card. One 1¼” from the bottom and the other 1¼” from the left edge. This helps to line up the dsp.

The piece of dsp was lined up on the bottom line where the two lines cross and glued into position. I cut off the excess and moved the strip to the left and rotated 45°. Again, I lined it up in where the lines crossed, glued it in position and trimmed off the excess.

I rotated the strip 45°, lined it up where the pencil lines crossed, glued it in position and trimmed off the excess. Finally, I rotated the dsp strip again, lined it up, glued it down and trimmed off the excess.

I cut the 1” squares of Night of Navy card, diagonally in half giving me four triangles. I added a triangle to each piece of dsp to form the pinwheel shape. At this point Patti ran the whole panel through an embossing folder……I forgot!

Monochromatic Shells Card – Crafty Challenge Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop where we are sharing projects inspired by a dice roll giving us masking, standard vertical, pearl, for you and black and white. I have made my monochromatic shell card using the Shell Collecting stamp set.

Basic Black card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½”

I cut a circle, centrally in the upper half of the larger, scrap piece of Basic White card. I placed the negative piece over the 5¼” by 3½” panel of Basic White card and secured it in place with a little washi tape. I used a Blending Brush to add a little Memento Tuxedo Black ink to the exposed circle. The masking panel was then removed.

Pop Out Accordion Petals of Beauty Card – Share It Sunday Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Share It Sunday Blog Hop where we are sharing something we have been working on recently. The pop out accordion card I am sharing today was made for a friend’s special birthday using the Petals of Beauty stamp set and dies.

Colours used to make this card are:

 

I created the pop out accordion petals of beauty card using the following supplies:

Thick Basic White card base – 20cm by 15cm – scored at 5cm, 10cm & 15cm on the long-side
Lost Lagoon card – 14.5cm by 4.5cm x 4
Kintsugi Inspirations dsp – 14cm by 4cm x 4

Thick Basic White card – 10cm by 7.5cm – scored at 7.5cm on the long-side
Kintsugi Inspirations dsp – 9.5cm by 7cm x 2
Basic White card – 3¾” by 2¾” x 2
Scrap Basic White & Lost Lagoon card

I adhered the long panels of Kintsugi Inspirations dsp to the slightly larger pieces of Lost Lagoon card. These 4 panels were then glued to the slightly larger Thick Basic White card base which was then folded and burnished in a mountain, valley and mountain shape.

With the larger card base folded up, accordion style I adhered the left-hand side of the decorated panel to the front of the accordion panel, taking care that it would fit in a standard C6 Envelope. I repeated this step to glue the back panel of the pop out portion.

I cut 2 arches from the pieces of Basic White card measuring 3¾” by 2¾” using the Everyday Arches Dies.

On one of the arches, I stamped the sentiment from the Coneflower Celebrations stamp set with Lost Lagoon ink. Using the same ink, I stamped the second sentiment from the Branching Out stamp set on the 2nd arch. The arches were then glued to the pop out portion of the card.

I stamped the outline of a large and a small flower from the Petals of Beauty stamp set with Calypso Coral ink and added the infill colour with Petal Pink ink. These flowers were then cut using the Petals of Beauty Dies. The flowers were then added to the card front.
