6x6" One Sheet Wonder Set of Flurry of Wishes Cards.

I have my cards ready to decorate. I chose the Flurry of Wishes stamp set from the Holiday section of the main catalogue (p.116) to use.

Also, the matching punch is available in the Stampin' Up! Clearance Rack.  Lots of new product was recently added and
I recommend that you take a look. Click here to view.  






To complete the cards you will need some extra Vanilla Cardstock,  ribbon, and some rhinestones.
The images were stamped with Tuxedo Black ink. The Stitched Shapes Framelits and punch (as mentioned above) cut the decorative shapes.

My 6x6" Wonder Christmas Cards

Following on from yesterday, I had my pattern and a very large stack of DSP.  I choose one piece of 12x12" Christmas paper which I did cut down.
Make 4 card bases measuring 4x5 1/2" with Very Vanilla thick cardstock. You will also need 4 quarter inch  strips of A4 black cardstock.
 Here are my 4 finished layouts.  I am sure you could even come with more layouts with the cut pieces.  One simple way would be to take advantage of the paper being double sided.

The narrow long strip of paper from the pattern was reversed to make the green decorative strip in the first card.

Now they are ready to decorate. See my next post.

6x6" One Sheet Wonder Pattern

 I have just recently moved my craft space.  I previously was using my dining room. It did work well for a while doubling as a dining and craft room but we do continually keep adding to our stock. I had craft products stored in my sideboard, on a bookcase hidden behind the door  and in a cupboard in the garage. So when my daughter complained that her room was too small, it was an easy decision to move her to the dining room and I take up her room.
Love my new craft space!  It did take us awhile to move and organise things. My hubby is quite good at putting flat packs together now! I now have all of my things in one room.  All of this is leading into today's post.  I have so much stuff not used.  I am now on a mission to use up what I have.
I am starting with my DSP stack.

Here is a pattern for a 6x6" One Sheet Wonder set of cards. It can be used with our paper stacks or by cutting up a 12x12" sheet and makes 4 cards. Each  finished cards measure 4x5 1/2 ".

By using a 6x6" pattern I will end up with a variety of cards as I can use it with lots of different DSP. Also, if you want variety remember most of the DSP is double sided.

See my next post for what I did with this pattern.

Tabs for Everything Stamp Set and Punch Projects



The elephant image from this stamp set is so cute I thought it would make a great baby card. Night of Navy has been a favourite colour of mine lately. I love the Night of Navy Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon too. The DSP came from the Delightful Daisy Pack.

I punch some cardstock and stapled it onto a portion of a sponge. Now I will have a readily identifiable sponge for each colour. And no need to wash the sponge!
My last project was a birthday giftcard pouch featuring the Birthday Memories DSP.
These were some of the projects you could make in my card classes.
Love to see you there!

Tabs for Everything Bundle

This is a great bundle to own. Punch out tabs and decorate them using the stamp set or use them on their own. I have seen some great stamping on cards, in journals, in diaries and on gift wallets using the stamp set. The punch makes great labels. Section off your catalogue for quick finds. Another great idea is to punch out coloured card stock and staple to a sponge - makes a great grip and readily identifies the ink on the sponge.
Here are some samples from the catalogue and I will share some of mine in my next post.

Beautiful You Stamp Set - Wishing You Brighter Days Sympathy Cards

This card uses one of my favourite techniques - water colour block background. On a clear block load with Marina Mist and Soft Sky ink. This can be done in two ways, scribble on the block with markers or swipe the ink pads across the block. Mist with water and stamp onto water colour paper. Before lifting, give it a little wriggle to blend and spread. Blot off excessive ink or let it run for the look you want.  Fully dry before stamping image and sentiment in Night of Navy.
