Add a strip of Basic White and you can make four card bases out of a 12 x 12 sheet of cardstock. How cool is that? Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Art Gallery

Paper:

   Blue Bayou 12 x 12 - 6 x 5-1/2 score at 4-1/4

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside), 2-3/4 x 5-1/2

   Fine Art Floral DSP 1-5/8 x 5-3/8 (4)

Ink:

   Pumpkin Pie

   Terracotta Tile

   Pool Party

   Night of Navy

   Poppy Parade

   Merry Merlot

Technique:

   2-Step Stamping

Accessories:

   Brights Enamel Shapes

   Tear & Tape

   Adhesive

First, I cut and scored my card bases from the 12 x 12 sheet. Cut the sheet in half at 6". Then cut lengthwise at 5-1/2. (Each 6" strip will yield 2 card bases.) Score the 6" side at 4-1/4.

I then added a strip of DSP to the flap. I wanted the card base to frame the DSP, so it is cut a tad shorter all around. Note the measurements above.

Next, I added a strip of tear & tape to the strip of Basic White. I adhered this to the back of the card front panel.

I then stamped the sentiment and added the flower. The colors are listed as I grouped them. The Pumpkin Pie was used with the Terracotta Tile and the Poppy Parade was used with the Merry Merlot, etc.

Lastly, I added a few embellishments and adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Here is a closer look at each card.

Thank You 4x4

The golden acetate overlay gives the card an added pizzazz. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Art Gallery

Paper:

   Bumblebee 4 x 8 scored @ 4"

   Fine Art Floral DSP 4" Sq.

   Golden Garden Designer Acetate 4" Sq.

   Basic White 3-3/4" Sq. (Inside)

Ink:

   Mossy Meadow

Technique:

   CAS

Accessories:

   Glittered Organdy Ribbon 21"

   Glue Dots

   Adhesive

First, I stamped a left-over Paper Pumpkin tag, using Mossy Meadow ink.

I then adhered the Golden Garden Designer acetate square to its matching Fine Art Floral DSP square. I used glue dots under the gold so they would stay hidden.

I then adhered the panel to the Bumblebee card front.

I wrapped the Glittered Organdy Ribbon around the left side of the card and tied a bow. 

Lastly, I adhered the tag to the center of the panel and added the Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Thank You Floral 4x4

These 4" square cards make full use of your beautiful 12 x 12 designer sheets. They also fit nicely into a regular A-2 card size envelope. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Art Gallery

Paper:

   Bumblebee 4 x 8 scored @ 4"

   Fine Art Floral DSP 4" Sq.

   Golden Garden Designer Acetate 4" Sq.

   Basic White 3-1/4 x 3-1/2, 3-3/4" Sq. (Inside)

Ink:

   Flirty Flamingo

   Mossy Meadow

   Powder Pink

Technique:

   Punching

Accessories:

   Scalloped Border Punch

   Glittered Organdy Ribbon

   Glue Dots

   Adhesive

First, I adhered the acetate to the designer series paper, using glue dots in the center where the image would be mounted. This way, they are invisible to everyone.

I then stamped my image and sentiment. I used Powder Pink for the base of the flower and Flirty Flamingo as the accent color. The leaves, stem, and sentiment are stamped using Mossy Meadow.

Next, I used the scalloped border punch on the sides of the image. In retrospect, I should have punched strips and adhered them under the image to give it a more even look. Still, this is what makes it quite unique. Mistakes and all...

I wrapped a bit of glittered organdy ribbon around the image and tied a bow.

Lastly, I adhered the designer series paper and acetate panel to the Bumblebee card front and attached the image panel to the center. I adhered the 3-3/4" square of Basic White to the inside of the card.

Merry Merlot Gallery

Sponging along the tear accentuates the image. I also like that the color sprays onto more of the white paper. Thoughts?

Next, I tore around the image and sentiment. I tore the paper toward me and then sponged the edges using Flirty Flamingo.

I adhered the designer series paper with the acetate panel onto the Old Olive card front.

I then added the image to the center of the card.

I attached a dragonfly that was left-over from a previous project to the card. You can use the Dragonflies punch to create some.

   Pacific Point A-2

   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Basic white 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside), 3/4 x 3-1/4

First, I die cut the waves and the birds.

Next, I stamped and die cut the sentiment.

I adhered the waves to the strip of DSP. I used adhesive for the bottom wave on the DSP, and added the top wave using glue dots.

I matted this panel with Basic Black and then adhered it to the Pacific Point card front.

I used a blending brush to add a bit of blue to the sentiment. You can use a sponge if you do not have a blending brush. I then attached it to the card front using dimensionals.
