Peony Garden Gift Bag with Belly Band Closure. Share it on a Sunday

 Good Morning Everyone,

Happy Sunday. That's right, it's Sunday so that means - Donna, Karen and myself have another Share it on a Sunday for you!! This week the theme is to all use the same DSP, and we chose the Peony Garden DSP which is a lovely pretty and soft DSP, which only has three colours in it - so this may have been more off a challenge than first thought!

We thought this would be a great way to show you the versatility of the DSP, by showcasing three completely different projects using the same paper pack.

I decided to create a gift bag, it's very simple but I think it's rather stunning. I purposely left off a sentiment as I didn't think it needed one. Also, I have worked out my measurements for this so you could use international A4 cardstock if you wanted. The final dimensions are 5" x 4 1/1/2" x 1 1/4", so its a great size to fit all sorts of goodies in.

Measurement 

Peony Garden DSP

1pc - 11 3/4" x 6 1/4"

1pc - 3/4" x 11 3/4"

1pc - scrap for the circle

Take the largest piece of DSP and score as follows:-

Long side - 1 1/4", 5 3/4", 7" & 11 3/4"

Part score on the long side down to approx. 4" at 5/8" and 6 3/8"

Short side - 5"

Fold and burnish all the full score lines, ignore the part score lines - these will make sense later on. Cut  up the score lines at the bottom, cut straight up the rectangle and notch into the squares to make a tab. Remove the thin rectangle on the lower right hand side and notch into the thin tab and the top and bottom - so you DSP will look like this.

Now add tear and tape to the thin tab on the right hand side, fold it round and adhere to the opposite side of the DSP. Now at the bottom, fold in the sides and back, add adhesive to the front section and stick down to create you base.  Pinch in the top, and those part score lines will help create a nice crease to close.

Wrap the 3/4" strip around the top, making sure it is not too tight to that you wont be able to get it off. stick the band together with some liquid glue, then trim off the excess,

Take a scrap of DSP and cut a circle using the Stitched Shapes Dies and your die cutting machine. Colour in one flower and a couple of leaves, to make it stand out. Then take this circle and glue onto the belly band - covering the joining in the DSP - making sure not to get glue everywhere - this may stick it to the bag and you will not be able to remove it.

Be sure to pop on over to see what Donna and Karen made too.

Free as a Bird Your Friendship means the World to me greeting card.

 Good Evening Everyone,

Happy Friday, today has been a hot day here in the UK, so I've just come in after spending most of the day in the garden I wanted to share this fabulous card with you.

I have used the Free as a Bird stamp set, which has been around a while, and it's one I seem to have overlooked recently - with the new annual catalogue in June and now the Mini catalogue! So I made an effort to make it feel loved again!! haha

Measurements

Purple Posy Cardstock 

1pc - 5 7/8" x 8 1/4", scored at 4 1/8"

Pretty Peacock Cardstock 

2pc - scraps 

Whisper White

1pc - 5 5/8" x 3 7/8"

2pc - scraps 

Take the Purple Posy cardstock and fold along the score line. Add the whisper white panel to the inside. Close the card and stamp the flower all over the card front. I used Highland heather, but stamped off once first.

Now, Using your dies cutting machine, cut out a large and a small shape from the Nested shape dies, and do the same for two whisper white pieces.

Stamp the birds image onto the larger Whisper white shape, concentrating it over to the left. I actually missed of a bird to get the image this way. Colour in using the blends and stampin write markers.

Layer up onto the pretty peacock, and cut off the right hand side. Add this to the card front in the top right hand side, making the cut edge flush with the edge.

Repeat this process with the small die cuts, but this time focus the stamping towards the right. Add this in the lower left side, again aligning the cut edge with the card front.

Beautiful Friendship Congratulations Card. #33sketches no9

Good Morning Everyone.


How are you all doing. Hope you have had a good week so far.

Today I have another card from my #33sketches challenge. this time I have decided to stamp each individual panel to create mini pieces of artwork and I love how it turned out.

This is the sketch I followed from cardztv.blogspot.com

Measurements 

Gorgeous Grape Cardstock

1pc - 4 1/8" x 11 3/4", score at 5 7/8"

Highland Heather Cardstock

1pc - 5 5/8" x 3 7/8"

Whisper White Cardstock

1pc - 5 5/8" x 3 7/8"

1pc - 3 5/8" x 2 3/8"

1pc - 3 5/8" x 1"

1pc - 1 3/4" x 2 1/8"

1pc - 1 3/4" x 1 3/8"

Create your card base by folding  the Gorgeous Grape Cardstock along the score line, add the largest piece of whisper white to the inside, and the highland heather to the card front.

Take the 1" x 3 5/8" and stamp the sentiment in the centre.

Now take the remaining pieces of whisper white and fill them all with these beautiful flowers and leaves from the set.

Finally, add all the whisper white pieces to the card front as the sketch dictates - I used liquid glue for this and a quick hand, it gives you just that few seconds to move the pieces in line if you are slightly out.

Magic in this Night Happy Birthday Card. #33sketches no8

Good Morning Everyone,

I hope you are well. Today I have card no8 in my #33sketches challenge. I do hope you are enjoying following this challenge as much as I an loving doing it. It really is pushing me to design cards in a way I may not ordinarily think to. Let me know what you think of the challenge so far in the comments below.

So, here I have used the Magic in this Night DSP, which is coming out in our Mini Catalogue on 4th August, I have a stack of catalogues ready to post if you would like one (I can only post to UK, Germany, France, Netherlands and Austria).

Anyway, let's get on with the project. It's a super simple card, and the Designs on the DSP do all the work - and you can quite easy switch up the paper and get an altogether different look!

Here's the Sketch a followed today:-

sketch from cardztv.blogspot.com

Measurements

Blackberry Bliss Cardstock
1pc - 4 1/8" x 11 3/4", scored at 5 7/8"
1pc - 3 1/4" x 2 1/2"

Whisper White Cardstock
1pc - 5 5/8" x 3 7/8"
1pc - 2 1/4" x 3"

Magic in this Night DSP
1pc - 5 5/8" x 2"
1pc - 5 5/8" x 1/2"
1pc - 5 5/8" x 1 3/8"
1pc - Fussy cut floral cluster

Create your card base by folding to Blackberry Bliss Cardstock along the score line, and add the larger piece of whisper white to the inside.

Take the three DSP strips and line them up onto the card front - I used wet glue here, so I had a smidgen of time to play with the placement and make sure I had everything lined up evenly.

Stamp the sentiment on the whisper white, but make sure that it will be straight when you add the panel to the card as above. I found it easier to lay the cardstock at the angle in which I thought it should be placed and then added the sentiment straight. Once the memento ink is dry - colour in the sections with the Pretty Peacock Stampin Write Marker. layer this piece onto the remaining piece of Blackberry bliss and add to the card front.

Take a fussy cut floral cluster and add to the white space on the card using dimensionals.

Peony Garden Sending Love your way Greeting Card. Share it on a Sunday

Good Morning Everyone.

Happy Sunday. It's been a beautiful weekend so far here in Yorkshire, and today is set to be another nice day here. I hope the forecast is good for you all too.

As it's Sunday, it's time for another Share it on a Sunday. This week donna chose the theme Romance. Now, I'm not a lovely dovey person really so I found this a little challenging if I'm honest. But the Posted for You bundle and the Peony Garden DSP really really helped me created a card I'm very happy with.

So, I will run though my tutorial for you first, in case you wish to recreate the card, then I will link to Donna and Karen's projects so you can see what they have created for the Romance theme.

Measurements

Soft Sea Foam Cardstock
1pc - 4 1/8" x 11 3/4", scored at 5 7/8"

Whisper White Cardstock
1pc - 5 5/8" x 3 7/8"
2pc - scrap for sentiment and image

Peony Garden DSP
1pc - 5 5/8" x 3 7/8"
1pc - 5 3/8" x 3 5/8"
2pc - scrap to layer the sentiment and image to.

Create your card base by folding the Soft Sea Foam cardstock along the score line and add the whisper white piece to the inside. Add the Largest piece of the Peony Garden DSP to the card front.

On the remaining piece  Peony Garden DSP, colour in the images. I used Petal Pink and Old Olive Stampin Blends, but you could use any colouring medium you wish, and of course any colour way you desire. Once all coloured in stick down onto the card front.

On two pieces of scrap whisper white, stamp the Love image  and the  sentiment in memento tuxedo black ink. once dry, colour in with the same blends as the background. Cut out the image with the Rectangular Postage Punch, then layer both of these onto scraps of the Peony Garden DSP.

Add these to the card front using dimensionals.

I hope you liked today's card and will give it a go! As promised, here's the links to DOnna and Karen's blogs.
