DOUBLE TROUBLE

Hello to my stamping friends – welcome and thanks for popping by.

Today I’m sharing another first time project. As I wander through Facebook groups and Pinterest, I am amazed at the number of card styles and fancy folds that I am yet to try.

THis project is a DOUBLE DISPLAY CARD.

It was time to use some of the paper from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue. I chose the WHALE OF A TIME 6″x 6″ DSP for this card. The card base uses Pretty Peacock card stock. I also used Blackberry Bliss panels.

For the front and insert pieces I cut the DSP and then fussy cut lots of the turtles to have them ‘swim’ in the scenes.

The birthday greeting and coordinating die are from the FINE ART FLORAL BUNDLE. The greeting was stamped in Pretty Peacock onto Pool Party card stock.

The ribbon is from the PLAYING WITH PATTERNS RIBBON COMBO PACK and is secured on the back of the card under a panel of Pretty Peacock and Basic White card – a perfect place to write a birthday message.

I adhered some of the SEQUINS FOR EVERYTHING on the front of the card.

When the bow is untied and the card opened out you can see all the decorated panels.

The best way to view the card is when it is open and standing – that’s when you can see all the interesting pop out panels.

A closer look and you can see that my fussy cutting is getting so much better!

This card certianly involved a few more steps and some careful measuring to get all the elements just right, but it was well worth the effort.

Happy stamping!

GIFT CARDS AS A GIFT

This little gift box holds six 3″x 3″ gift cards with envelopes.

The DSP with the seaweed looks great behind the punched out whale.

I used three stamp sets for different sentiments for the box and gift cards – TIMELESS TULIPS, WELL SAID and WHALE DONE.

The ribbon from the FLOWERS FOR EVERY SEASON SUITE looks crisp and fresh wrapped neatly around the box. It also tops off the tag.

It’s always handy to have some gift cards ready to use because you never know when you might buy something for someone special.

Giving a friend a collection of hand crafted gift cards, as a birthday gift, is always appreciated.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

TURTLE TIME!

The turtles on the WHALE OF A TIME DSP are my favourite!

They are gorgeous.

Although, I am not always keen to fussy cut, I couldn’t resist these guys.

The three that are popped up on dimensionals look like they are floating along without a care in the world.

I’ll need to make a birthday card using this paper. I have a friend who loves turtles.

Which is your favourite piece of DSP?
