Floral One Sheet Wonder!!

Posted on January 19, 2021 by Laura's Stamp Pad

One Sheet Wonders are so much fun because they use ALL of one sheet of 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper (or 6″ x 6″). I like to stick to minimal products as well to really just enjoy the card making part and not the big mess part! 🙂 This Floral One Sheet Wonder is my current favorite!!!

Floral One Sheet Wonder, www.LaurasStampPad.com

I used the Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper which is just stunning! The back side of the floral paper is that fun mosaic yellow print which I used on 2 cards. It was just so hard to not use the floral side. Then I looked at the paper pack at the coordinating colors and picked my favorite – Night of Navy, Petal Pink, and Merry Merlot. I went with Basic White even though there is also some Very Vanilla in the pattern too.

First, I started off by cutting my card bases in each of the 3 colors (4 bases). This makes 12 cards! Then I cut my designer series paper and just started layering and mixing and matching! For the greetings, I stamped the Many Messages greeting in Merry Merlot and Night of Navy and die cut them with the coordinating die. BOOM! 19 greetings in each color! It was so quick and simple. AMAZING! Then as I was creating the cards, I just grabbed a greeting and popped it on. Another option would be to package the cards and greetings together and attach as you need the cards.

This Floral One Sheet Wonder set made quick and simple cards for all of my upcoming occasions! This is also a great gift to wrap all of these cards up together and offer!

Total Perfection!!!

Posted on January 14, 2021 by Laura's Stamp Pad

I love Birthdays! Everyone has one and it’s the perfect time to celebrate OURSELVES! It’s our day! So do exactly what you want and enjoy it to the fullest. Heck, sometimes I even like to call it my birthday month! It’s not my birthday month but I do have a fabulous birthday card to share with you today! I think it’s total perfection!

Total Perfection, www.LaurasStampPad.com

I just love this birthday greeting from the Sale-A-Bration Approaching Perfection Stamp Set! That set has lots of fun birthday greetings in it AND you can get it for FREE with a $50 order! Woot Woot!

This fun card is a Z fold card. I started with a Bermuda Bay card base. Fold it in half like a normal card and then fold the front panel back in half! It’s as easy as that. Then I added some Flower & Field Sale-A-Bration Designer Series Paper to the front panel. This piece measures 5-3/8″ x 2-1/8″.

For the greeting, I used the Stitched Rectangle Dies in Whisper White and Bumblebee. When I did the greeting with regular dies, it just didn’t pop. Then I did the stitching and it just POPPED! It’s crazy how such a little texture gives such a big look! The greeting was stamped in Bermuda Bay on the front and inside! Be sure when adding the rectangle greeting to the card front that you only put adhesive on the left hand side otherwise you will seal your card closed! Then I finished it off with a few Black

Spread the Love!!!

Posted on January 12, 2021 by Laura's Stamp Pad

Valentine’s Day is around the corner so I want to share this sample to inspire you!!! This card is perfect for Valentine’s Day, Anniversaries, and just any old day to spread the love!

I love this card because it’s so fabulous it doesn’t even need a greeting on the front which makes it even more versatile! Perfect!!!

I started with a regular Whisper White card base and folded it in half. Then I cut 3/4″ off the front flap to reveal the inside of the card. Then I stamped the row of hearts from the Lots of Hearts Stamp Set along the edge in Rococo Rose Ink! I also stamped a greeting on the inside in Rococo Rose Ink!

For the front of the card, I added a piece of Love You Always Specialty Designer Series Paper (5-1/4″ x 3-1/4″) on the front flap! Then for the heart, I stamped it in Rococo Rose onto Blushing Bride and layered it onto Rococo Rose! Next, I added a little loop of the Blushing Bride Metallic Ribbon and secured it with Stampin’ Dimensionals! I actually used the underside of the ribbon rather than the super metallic side! It’s softer and perfect!

What occasion would you use this card for? Let me know in the comments below! Either way, don’t forget to spread the love to those who mean the world to you!

Merry Christmas to All!!!

Posted on December 24, 2020 by Laura's Stamp Pad

Just wanted to write a quick post to say Merry Christmas to all of you!!!

Merry Christmas to All, www.LaurasStampPad.com

I just wanted to take a chance to to wish you and your family a wonderful and safe holiday season!

We will be celebrating today with a nap and our traditional supper of homemade chicken nuggets with roasted potato wedges. This has just been a meal we have made years ago and just keep coming back to it. It’s not the perfect tradition. Tonight, Brad and I will be building a kitchen for Claire while watching Christmas Vacation! Wish us luck that it actually goes together okay and we aren’t up so late that Santa skips over our home! 🙂

Be Merry!!!

Posted on December 22, 2020 by Laura's Stamp Pad

Have you ever created your own designer series paper??? It’s super fun and simple because you simply stamp all over. For this Be Merry card, I did just that to create a fun holly background! When I did this card for a class, everyone was asking where the holly paper was!!! 🙂

I started with a Garden Green piece of cardstock measuring 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″ and this is my card base! It sounds weird but follow me! 🙂 Next, I added strips of Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper (1″ x 4″) on either side. I found that putting these on first really helped with my spacing. Then I took a piece of Garden Green cardstock measuring 8-1/2″ x 3″ and folded it in half at 4-1/4″ for that center card piece!!!

Now to decorate the center card, I cut 2 pieces of Very Vanilla measuring 2-3/4″ x 4″. One is for the front and one for the inside! On the front, I stamped the holly berries in Real Red and the leaves in Garden Green. Be sure to fall off the edge of the cardstock in order to make it look like the pattern continues on! Stamp a few holly berries and leaves on the piece for the inside too! All of the stamped images are from the Banner Year Stamp Set. I love how versatile this set is!

Christmas Wishes, www.LaurasStampPad.com

For the greeting on the front, I used the Everyday Label Punch and Timeless Label Punch. The greeting was stamped in Real Red and I attached it partially hanging off the card piece. Just be sure to only add adhesive to the left side so you don’t seal your card closed! I finished off the card with some Gilded Gems!

Copper Foil Fun!

Posted on December 17, 2020 by Laura's Stamp Pad

On Tuesday, I shared a Copper Heat Embossed card using the Christmas Gleaming Suite. Check that out here. If you are looking for an easier look for making multiples this season or are scared to jump into heat embossing, check out this copper foil fun card!

I started with a Pretty Peacock card base. Then I layered on a piece of the Brightly Gleaming Designer Series Paper. The elegant foil really makes for a stunning shine! Next, I tied some copper ribbon around the inside spine of the card. This ribbon is from the Basket Weave & Metallic Ribbon Pack.

The greeting was created with the Tasteful Labels Dies. I die cut in Very Vanilla and stamped the greeting in Pretty Peacock Ink. The greeting is from the Christmas Gleaming Stamp Set! I layered this onto a piece of Copper Foil Paper to really add as much shine to the card as possible! The greeting was added to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals!

Be Jolly This Season, www.LaurasStampPad.com

For the inside of the card, I added a piece of Very Vanilla (4″ x 5-1/4″) with a little scrap piece of designer paper on the left hand side. Using more stamps from the Christmas Gleaming Set, I stamped the greeting and holly in Pretty Peacock! Simple and fabulous!!!
