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!

Inlaid embossing bookmark

We made this bookmark at last week's workshop.  What a great way to use up scraps of DSP!  I cut 5 pieces of DSP 1 X 2 and adhered them to a layer of Old Olive cardstock 5 1/4 X 2 1/4.  I ran that whole piece through the Big Shot in the Square Lattice embossing folder.  We adhered that to a piece of Cajun Craze 2 1/2 X 6.  That left room at the top to punch a hole and add 6" of Marina Mist narrow taffeta ribbon.  We added butterflies from the Beautiful Wings Sizzlit for some dimension.  Punched flowers would look great too!

Happy stamping!

Four Frames and Paisley Petals

Isn't that stamp awesome??? I really love the new Four Frames stamp set. The card base is Crumb Cake, and the DSP is matted with Not Quite Navy. I used a piece of Sticky Strip to adhere the Baja Breeze seam binding ribbon. (You'd better order that ribbon now because it's not in the Summer Mini! SOB) I cut out the butterflies with the Big Shot and the Beautiful Wings Embosslit. Happy stamping!
