Quarter sheet card

We made this quarter sheet card and envelope at my workshop last week.  The card is a quarter-sheet of cardstock, so the card size is 2 3/4 X 4 1/4.  I got this idea plus the measurements for the envelope from the amazing Jackie Topa.  On her blog, Addicted to Stamping, she has a sheet you can download that has the measurements to make many sizes of envelopes using the Simply Scored diagonal insert.

All 3 patterns of DSP are from Paisley Petals.  We sponged the bird with Marina Mist ink to make him stand out a bit more.  The sentiment is from You're My Type.

The envelope is made from a 6X6 square of DSP, so you can make 4 cards and matching envelopes from 1 sheet of cardstock and 1 sheet of DSP!

Happy stamping!

Sneak peek!

I do have stuff to show you from Regional, but that can wait because this is NEW CATALOG STUFF!!!  And you can buy it in April!  Stampin' Up has a whole suite of products called Summer Smooches that will be available for purchase in April before it is in the catalog in June.

I stamped the vase of flowers with the Bright Blossoms stamp set.  The mat and strip on the left are both from Summer Smooches DSP.  I added Island Indigo ribbon and the turquoise piece that's sprayed with Gold Smooch Spritz.  And did you notice what I did to the cardbase?  I randomly scored lines with the diagonal insert for the Simply Scored board.  Isn't this bright and cheery?  I'm in love with this DSP!

Happy stamping!
