It’s Thursday and time for another Create with Connie and Mary Challenge! We have a fun sketch for you to try…you’ll get different looks each time you do it using Designer Paper with this tip.
Tip: Layer together 3 of the same sized pieces and cut the angles all at once. Then you have pieces for 3 cards by placing them together like a jigsaw puzzle, alternating the designs!
And here is my card! I love the bright colors in Sweet Taffy Designer Paper (it’s part of the Buy 3 get 1 free sale!) and this cute hostess set, Hello Love! Although it is just a little image, I did use my Daffodil Delight Blendabilities, too!
Here are the details:
- The base is 4 1/4 x 11 Melon Mambo cardstock, folded in half.
- I added a 4 x 5 1/4 layer of Whisper White.
- I placed three different 2 x 5 1/4 pieces of Sweet Taffy Designer Paper together and cut the angles all at the same time. This gave me pieces for 3 different cards just by alternating the designs.
- I cut a Starburst Framelit from Melon Mambo cardstock. and adhered to the front.
- I used another DSP design cut to 1/2 x 3 1/2 for a banner and cut the flag ends.
- I stamped the little birdie and arrow from Hello Love with Memento Black Ink and used the Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie Blendabilities to color.
- The greeting from Hello Love was also stamped with Memento Black Ink.
- I punched the design with the Decorative Label Punch, then placed it over the Starburst and banner with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- I added three pink star sequins for some extra bling!
I think it turned out CUTE! Love it and those sweet images in the Hello Love set!
