More DSP!

I've added more retired Designer Series Papers to my blog!  Be sure to check them out here.  

I'm ready to move onto the retired Stampin' Up! paper stacks (ask me about these if you don't know what they are!).  When I sell my papers, I also offer card bases as long as I still have some left.  

Here are some cards and projects I made with some of the retired papers.

Enjoy looking through the many papers I have for sale.  There are lots of ways to use your papers.  

Happy Crafting,

Upcycle Class

Here are the three cards we'll be making tomorrow, Sep 29th, at 2 pm.  Be sure to let me know you are coming so I have enough supplies cut and ready for everyone!

For the bird card, we're going to take a table napkin and use it for our card front.  Some of you may have a palm tree; others may have leaves.  

This card we're going to upcycle some border paper that I had on hand from a long time ago.  This is a fun project to remember some of your favorite wall/border paper.  I also have some rolls of paper for you to choose from should you want to take some home.  They are FREE.

This last is a gatefold card with a slender gate on the left.  I love how this turned out with retired Designer Series Papers!

I hope to see you tomorrow!

Special Someone

While cleaning up my class totes and putting supplies away, I found the supplies already done except for a stamped image for this card.  I assembled the card and decided to use the Special Someone stamp set for the squirrel.  

Our original card was made using the Home to Roost stamp set.  

Here is the new card with my squirrel.

I like how this turned out - so when you have leftover supplies, pull another stamp set out and create a new card!

Happy Crafting,

Desiree'

Light Me Home

Light Me Home, 153350, is a new stamp set that is featured in our Aug-Dec 2020 Mini Catalog.  I fell in love with this stamp set the first time I saw it!  We'll be using this set for the third card in our Sep 22 card class.

I used Shaded Spruce and Shimmery White card stock for this card.  It really does sparkle better in person!

There is a little fussy cutting that we'll be doing but well worth the effect.  I  hope to see you in our class tomorrow evening!

Happy Crafting,

Desiree'

Sailing Home CASE

Today's card is one that I've had on my mind to CASE because I love the technique.  This is one of my up line, Susie Wood, swaps from our up line meetings.  

We will be making this card as well on Sep 22nd at 6 pm.  We're using Sailing Home and the sun is from the High Tide stamp set.  We'll be using watercolor pencils and Blender Pens.

I hope you will join us for class! 

Happy Crafting,

Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Papers

Have you seen the papers in this Specialty Designer Series Paper Pack?   It's $15, but, oh, the shiny papers are gorgeous!  

Here's a card we're going to be making in our Sep 22nd 6 PM card class.  I will be scheduling a day time class as well.  

We're using Cajun Craze and Crumb Cake Cardstock along with Gold Foil papers. 

There's not much needed to class this paper up!

Happy Crafting,

Masculine Craft

Today's share are some masculine notepads that I made.  These are great to fit in the pocket and are REFILLABLE!  

I did use retired Designer Series Papers on these as I'm overwhelmed with papers.  First up are the masculine/Fall papers.

Next, Balloon papers:

I'll be posting DSP for sale soon.  All papers are already cut into 4 X 6 pieces.  I'll also ask whether you want matching cardstock.  

If you're looking for a nice birthday or just for you gift, stop in and see the many selections I have for Post-It Note Holders, Notepads, etc,  My store is located at 204 N. Commercial Street; Suite 240, Branson, MO.

Paper Pumpkin December 2019

Wow!  If I'd known how much fun working with this kit was going to be, I'd have opened it and completed it sooner.  Here are some alternatives I put together that I found on Pinterest.  

This first batch includes two Triangle Fold cards.  

These other cards were inspired by Donna R. on Pinterest.  I love how these turned out and look forward to sending these to friends and family!

I hope you will get your Paper Pumpkin kits out and start creating.  I've created so many cards and am going to donate some more to our troops, hospitals, and others.

Happy Crafting,

Geared Up Garage

I believe this is the last of the Geared Up Garage cards I made using 12 pieces of the Classic Garage 6 X 6 Designer Series Papers.  I love creating different ideas and sharing with you.  If you see a card that you like and would like to make one like it in a class, be sure to let me know!

On this first card, I fussy cut the car and the oil cans on the inside.  I added a piece of scrap black cardstock to the back of the car before adding dimensionals to pop it up.  The flags are made using scraps of the DSP!

This next card is using the backside of one of the bolder fronts.  I also used scraps for these flags as well.

This card - I had a bunch of little pieces and decided to make a four panel card using them!  I love how this turned out.

This last card was made using strips that were left over.  I flagged them and attached to the cardstock before popping it up on dimensionals.

Enjoy yourself today, but stay safe!

Geared Up Garage

Today I'm sharing the cards I made using the retired Classic Garage 6 X 6 Designer Series Papers.  I'm having so much fun creating these cards and they are great masculine cards!  I used the DSP with the gears on it for this set.

On this first card, I embossed the Basic Gray with the Stone Embossing Folder.  

For the second card, I used the same folder, but used the other side for a different look.

This last card is using the retired Mosaic embossing folder. 

I hope you enjoyed your weekend!

Geared Up Garage

If you participate in a Paper Share, here are cards I created using papers from my Paper Share.  The designer series papers are from the Classic Garage 6 X 6 papers.  By cutting these papers up, I'm able to create so many more cards than 12 (which is how many designs are included with the paper share)!

Both of these cards are using one piece with the keys and the second card shows a piece in the center with steering wheels.  The cars were fussy cut from the DSP.

Either one of these would make a great Birthday card, or even a retirement card.

Happy Crafting,

Brighten Your Day

Today's a little gloomy here in the Ozarks, with impending thunderstorms.  I hope these next two cards brighten your day!

 

If you are a Paper Pumpkin subscriber, hopefully these cards will inspire you to open your kit!  

Enjoy your day, stay safe.

Box of Sunshine

If you're in the midwest, we're looking at an overcast, very cloudy day.  Rain is coming - so I thought it appropriate to share more of this Paper Pumpkin kit, Box of Sunshine.

I was inspired by Jenn P. and love all the sunshine on this card!  I had to wait to post this because I sent this to my sister in her Box of Sunshine package.

When you sign up for Paper Pumpkin, you don't always get a hint of what's in the kit.  However, when I get a hint, I like to pass it on to help you decide whether you want the kit or not.  YES, you can skip a month (suspend) as long as you do it before the 10th of that month! And you can quit any time you want; then resign up.  Just remember to select me as your demonstrator!

You can sign up for Paper Pumpkin any time.  Follow this link to read more about what's included and when it ships!  

If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to contact me!

Happy Crafting,

Desiree'

More Sunshine, Anyone?

 I don't know about you, but there is something to be said about sunshine.  These cards just make me smile.  Are you smiling?  I hope so.

This card was inspired by Dawn O., a fellow demonstrator.  Thank you, Dawn!  I love going out on Pinterest and finding ideas! I made a couple of these.

 

I then moved on to the lemons. 

Each Paper Pumpkin kit comes with glue dots, dimensionals, ink spot, stamp set, etc.  They are so easy to put together or you can wait and see alternatives.  

More ideas coming tomorrow!

Happy Crafting,

Box of Sunshine Paper Pumpkin

 I made these cards a little while back (YES! I was able to make them in the same year!).  I was sending my sister a package and wanted to include some of these cards in it.  She should have her package by now so I can share.

This first card was inspired by Rachel T.  I've made this style of card with my ladies a few years back so it was good to get back to this style. 

The next card is a variation where I added more Designer Series Papers and a layer of cardstock.

Come back tomorrow for some more card ideas!

These cards will be put out for sale, so stop in and check them out in person.

On My Mind Alternatives

 Good morning!  Hopefully you are well rested and ready to face the day.  Today's share is inspired by Mackenzie M. and Paper Pumpkin.  I made modifications as I went along so first up is the suggested card that I added two layers of card stock, Pretty Peacock and Terracotta Tile.

This next card is another variation of the suggested cards.  I ran out of Sailboats in the kit, so used my Sailing Home stamp set and dies to create another one of these cards.  I added a steering wheel from the dies as well since I ran out.

And here's another alternative to this card.

This next card is from Mackenzie M.  We did a triangle fold card in class, but she put one on the card front.  I made this with a 5-1/2 X 4-1/4 base.  

Here is an alternative of the above card.

Come back on  Monday for more inspiration!

Happy Crafting,
