I'm on a roll making birthday notecards. I love making sets so I can gift them especially during the holidays. They are great gifts for anyone on your list who loves to send cards. How many of you have tons of designer series paper (aka dsp) sitting on your shelf or in your cabinet? This layout is a great way to use that up and make a cute set of cards. I used the Blushing Bride patterned dsp from the Subtles dsp pack. This pack is versatile because you get a variety of colors in four fun patterns. Pinks and grays go so well together. For the notecards, I use the prepared notecards/envelopes sets that come 20 in a package. They come in Whisper White (retiring soon and will be replaced with Basic White) and Very Vanilla. The notecards are pre-scored and ready to go. Below you'll find a tutorial for these two beautiful notecards.
1. Cut Basic Gray cardstock 4 3/4" x 3 1/4".
2. Cut Blushing Bride wood grain dsp 4" x 3".
3. Die cut a scalloped square from Basic Gray cardstock (Layering Squares, #4). *I number my dies as #1 is the largest.
4. Die cut a stitched square from Whisper White cardstock (Stitched Shapes, #2).
5. Stamp the white stitched square with the mountains and trees from Waterfront stamp set in Basic Gray. Stamp the zig zag stamp in Blushing Bride. Stamp again after stamping once to get the variation in color. This is called generation stamping- first generation is stamped after inking, second is stamped again after stamping once, etc.
6. Adhere the stamped white square to the scalloped square.
7. Adhere the Basic Gray cardstock to the notecard front. Adhere the Blushing Bride dsp to the Basic Gray cardstock.
8. Stamp a piece of scrap Whisper White cardstock (approximately 1/2" x 2") with your greeting in Basic Gray classic ink. I stamped a longer piece and trimmed it with my snips. Adjust this piece to fit your greeting. I used a new stamp coming out January 5, 2021- Art Gallery.
9. Adhere scalloped layer to the notecard.
10. Adhere the greeting with Stampin' dimensionals below the scalloped square.
11. Embellish with some clear Elegant Faceted Gems.
12. Stamp the inside of the notecard with more trees or as desired.
13. Stamp your envelope to match or use your left over dsp and glue to the flap and trim.
Measurements and instructions for this birthday card:
1. Cut Basic Gray cardstock 4 3/4" x 3 1/4".
2. Cut Blushing Bride polka dot dsp 4 1/2" x 3".
3. Die cut a square from Basic Gray cardstock (Layering Squares, #3). *I number my dies as #1 is the largest.
4. Die cut a stitched square from Whisper White cardstock (Stitched Shapes, #2).
5. Stamp the white stitched square with the mountains and trees from Waterfront stamp set in Basic Gray. Stamp the zig zag stamp in Blushing Bride. Stamp again after stamping once to get the variation in color. This is called generation stamping- first generation is stamped after inking, second is stamped again after stamping once, etc.
6. Adhere the stamped white square to the Basic Gray square.
7. Adhere the Blushing Bride dsp to the Basic Gray cardstock.
8.Wrap a piece of Whisper White faux linen ribbon (Flowers for Every Season ribbon combo pack) around the Basic Gray layer and tie a knot on the left side. Adhere to front of notecard with strong adhesive.
9. Stamp a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock with your greeting in Basic Gray classic ink. Die cut with the smallest narrow stitched rectangle (Stitched Rectangles). I used a new stamp coming out January 5, 2021- Art Gallery.
10. Adhere square layer to the notecard with Stampin' dimensionals.
11. Adhere the greeting below the square.
12. Stamp the inside of the notecard with more trees or as desired.
13. Stamp your envelope to match or use your left over dsp and glue to the flap and trim.
I'm heading back to my space to create some more cards using this wonderful dsp pack. I'm inking up some neglected stamps and making a variety of cards. I hope you'll dig into this designer series paper and create some fun cards.
