Happy Tuesday!!! You know what that means!!! I have a fabulous technique to share with you today. I will show you how to create over 70 Cards from a Designer Series Paper Stack! I used the Pretty Petals Stack and created cards for every occasion – man, women, sympathy, birthday, anniversary, wedding and more!!! I love it!
Here are the cards that I created with each sheet in the Pretty Petals Designer Series Paper Stack! You can get multiples of each of these cards and then use the leftover scrap pieces to create quilt cards like these samples! I will be posting a few of these today and the rest tomorrow!!! 🙂 Let’s get started!
This card uses a Calypso Coral card base. The Pretty Petals Designer Series Paper measures 5-1/2″ x 2″. You can get 3 of these from one sheet and since there are 4 sheets of this pattern, that is 12 cards like this! The border on the top and bottom is from the Tin of Cards Stamp Set. I stamped the greeting from the Lovely Amazing You Stamp Set and punched it out with the 2-3/8″ Scallop Circle Punch! The butterflies were punched out from the Elegant Butterfly Punch and Bitty Butterfly Punch!
This card uses a Mint Macaron card base. The Pretty Petals Designer Series Paper measures 2″ x 5-1/2″. You can get 3 of these from one sheet and since there are 4 sheets of this pattern, that is 12 cards like this! The border along the side is from the Tin of Cards Stamp Set. I stamped the greeting from the August Paper Pumpkin Kit and punched it out with the Decorative Label Punch! The butterflies were stamped from the Papillion Potpourri Stamp Set and then punched out from the Elegant Butterfly Punch and Bitty Butterfly Punch!
This card uses a Calypso Coral card base. The Pretty Petals Designer Series Paper measures 4″ x 5-1/4″. You can get 1 of these from one sheet and since there are 4 sheets of this pattern, that is 4 cards like this! The Designer Series Paper is layered onto Old Olive measuring 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″. I wrapped some Gold Baker’s Twine around the left edge and tied it into a bow! The greeting is from the Tin of Cards Stamp Set. I die cut the greeting out with the Deco Label Framelits and added a layer of Old Olive with the next frame size up! I added a flower that was punched out with the Petite Petals Punch and I placed a Pearl in the center!
This card uses a Very Vanilla card base. The Pretty Petals Designer Series Paper measures 2″ x 5-1/2″. You can get 3 of these from one sheet and since there are 4 sheets of this pattern, that is 12 cards like this! The border on the left and right of the DSP is from the Tin of Cards Stamp Set. I stamped the greeting from the same set and punched it out with the Decorative Label Punch!
This card uses a Pacific Point card base. The Pretty Petals Designer Series Paper measures 5-1/4″ x 4″. You can get 1 of these from one sheet and since there are 4 sheets of this pattern, that is 4 cards like this! I used some of my scraps of cardstock in Real Red, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive and Pacific Point. I used various sizes of circle punches. The greeting is from the Tin of Cards Stamp Set. I thought the circles looked a little plain at first so I added the little stitches around the edges and I think it really makes them pop! Love it!! This would make a fabulous kid’s card!
I will be posting the rest of the cards in the set tomorrow! If you would like to see all of this in action, check out the Video Tutorial below or by clicking here! If you liked the video, be sure to give it a thumbs up! Don’t forget to subscribe to my blog so you don’t miss tomorrow’s post! 🙂
