Masculine Plaid

I have a confession... when I first saw the Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper, I didn't really care for it.  It just didn't appeal to me.  Then, as usual, after seeing so many great projects with it, I decided to give it a try.  

Here are a couple of cards I whipped out very quickly for some simple, masculine cards.

Recipe:

Whisper White Thick Cardstock - 4 1/4" x 11", scored and folded at 5 1/2"
Crushed Curry - 4" x 5 1/4"

Plaid Tidings  DSP - 3 7/8" x 5 1/8"

Crushed Curry - punched with Tailored Tag (twice for each card)

Whisper white- stamped and punched with Tailored Tag - popped up with Stampin Dimensionals

Stamps:  Seaside Notions

Ink:  Cherry Cobbler

And DONE... so simple and so many beautiful colors in the pack to choose from.

Thank you for looking in today!  Happy Monday!

• 
  
• Stamp the Seahorse with Coastal Cabana towards the left side of the small piece of Whisper White, leaving room for the Sentiment, which will overlap a bit.

Pressed Petals Thinking of You

Don't you just love all the beautiful Designer Series Papers we have in the new catalog?  There are so many, I have to admit it has been difficult to select.  Luckily I was in a paper share and received a 6" x 6" piece of each of the current designs.  It has really given me a chance to play with all of them without having to spend too much until I can pick my favorites.

This one is called Pressed Petals and I just love the deep blue shades in this one.  I paired it with Blueberry Bushel and am really happy with the results.  The sentiment comes from Seaside Notions.  The font on this one is one of my favorites!

Recipe:
Blueberry Bushel - 4 1/4" x 11", scored at 5 1/2"
Pressed Petals Designer Series Paper (burlap) - 4" x 5 1/4"
Blueberry Bushel - 1 7/8" x 4 7/8"
Pressed Petals - 1 3/4" x 4 3/4"
Blueberry Bushel - 1 1/2" x 3 1/8"
Pressed Petals 1 3/8" x 3"

Blueberry Bushel - 1 1/8" x 2 1/4" (for sentiment mat)
Very Vanilla - 1" x 2 1/8" (for sentiment)
Very Vanilla - 4" x 5 1/4" (for inside panel)

I popped up the long panel with one layer of Stampin' Dimensionals and then the smaller panel with a single layer where it is attached to the longer layer and a double layer of Dimensionals for where it attaches to the base card.

Thank you for looking in today!  Happy Monday!

Seaside Notions

These cards were so fast and easy and I really love the simplicity of them. 

Recipe:
Soft Suede - 4 1/4" x 11", scored and folded at 5 1/2"
Soft Sea Foam - 3 5/8" x 4 7/8"
Crumb Cake - 3 1/2" x 4 3/4"
Soft Sea Foam - 4" x 5 1/4" (inside panel)

Did you notice the Seahorse and the Sand Dollar are overlapped a bit?  I stamped the Seahorse first and then stamped it again onto a post it note so I could stamp the Sand Dollar over without the line going through the nose. (assuming that's a nose?)

 Inside - Soft Sea Foam (I wish it photographed better!) I thought the color is light enough that it would make a nice inside panel instead of Whisper White or Very Vanilla.

Remember to save cardstock by stamping the sentiment on the panel that will be the mat behind the Crumb Cake and then punching or die cutting.  The Crumb Cake panel will complete cover the punched area and you'll have saved some scraps!

Thank you for looking in today.  If you don't already have a Stampin' Up Demonstrator, I would love to be yours!  Contact me with any questions.  I'd love to hear from you.
