Berry Blessings

This week I’m working with the Sale-a-bration bundle, Berry Blessings and the Berry Delightful DSP and I’ve also incorporated the Strawberry Builder punch. 

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - Berry Blessings - Berry Delightful DSP - Strawberry builder punch

First I layered a piece of the Berry Delightful DSP onto a Granny Apple Green mat and, after wrapping around a piece of the Blackberry Bliss striped ribbon, placed it on a Blackberry Bliss card base.  The sentiment was from the Berry Blessings stamp set and die cut using the Stitched Shapes Framelits dies. Next I punched out a few strawberries using the Strawberry Builder punch and also some stems. These were added using dimensionals as needed to ensure the strawberries wouldn’t sag.

 I showed this card today in a free class on facebook at 11am. Watch the replay or check it out on YouTube.

Berry Blessings

This week I’m working with the Sale-a-bration bundle, Berry Blessings and the Berry Delightful DSP. It’s a $100 freebie and includes a stamp set.

This is a very simple card to make, just a piece of the Berry Delightful DSP as a background. Then a panel showcasing the Berry Blessings 2 step stamping stamps in night of navy, Shaded Spruce and Granny Apple Green, matted on shaded spruce and put onto a Granny Apple Green card base. And it’s masculine. How often do you go through your birthday card stash searching for a masculine one? I’m in IT so it’s quite often where my team is concerned! Very easy to whip up a few of these.

The sentiment is from Berry Blessings as well, stamped in Shaded Spruce and die cut using the Stitched Shapes Framelits dies. Another easy peasy card – I really recommend getting a pack of the Berry Delightful DSP with the accompanying Berry Blessings stamp set. Especially as it’s free with a $100 purchase. I’ll be showcasing this card and a couple more on Sunday in a free class on facebook at 11am.

Corner Bouquet

This week I’m focusing on the Sale-a-bration set, Corner Bouquet. This is a free with a $50 order set and my second card with the set.

The Very Vanilla layer was cut to be the same size as the card base. Then the smaller corner bouquet stamp was applied to the corners in Shade Spruce using the Stamparatus. The gaps on the long sides were filled with another of the stamps and then the layer was cut down to 4 by 5 1/4 inches and placed on a Gorgeous Grape card base. The sentiment is from Sweet ice Cream, stamped in Gorgeous Grape and cut out using the Stitched Rectangle Dies. This was popped up on dimensional and some rhinestones added some sparkle.

Let me know what you think.

Flower and Field DSP Box

Last week I was showing cards using one of the free Designer Series papers that you can earn for free with a $50 order, the Flower and Field DSP. I got a little carried away and continued to make more cards. Once I had 8, I decided I needed a box to put them in along with envelopes.

Liz Bailey Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - Flower and Field DSP - Stitched Shapes framelits dies

I based this box on one I saw Ronda Wade make. She pointed out that the piece of thicker board at the back of the DSP pack (the one that has the colours listed) is perfect for box building.

First cut your card to 12 by 8.5 inches. Then proceed to score and 1 1/4 and 7 1/4 (or 1 1/4 from each end). Then score the long side at 1/2, 1 1/4, 4 1/2, 6 1/4 and 7 3/4. Fold on your score lines.

If you want to add DSP with mats, here’s what you need: Mats: (one regular sheet of cardstock) 2 of each: 4 1/8 by 5 5/8, 1 1/8 by 5 5/8 and 1 1/8 by 4/18.

For the DSP to go on the mats, you’ll need a sheet of 12 by 5 1/2 and cut 2 of each: 4 by 5 1/2, 1 by 5 1/2 and 1 by 4. Adhere the DSP to the matching mats and then to the box skeleton. You can also just stamp your own design on the card before scoring if you prefer.

 

Cut out and remove the black colored boxes and cut up the sides of the magenta ones. Put strong glue on the RIGHT SIDE of the magenta boxes and cut off a little triangle from them so your box will close better.

Finally put glue on the inside of the cinnamon cider boxes and finish making your box.

I made a belly band 1 1/4 inch wide using So Saffron but of course it’s only 11 inches long. So I attached the sentiment, cut out on a Stitched Shapes Framelits dies, and fixed the ends of the belly band to it. Just be careful not to make it too tight. I’m going to make the box next Sunday on my live and show you how easy it is. It sounds complicated, but it really isn’t.

I hope that you’ll make an order so that you can get this beautifully happy paper. I’ve already redeemed it twice! My live showing three cards that I’ve blogged about using the Flower and Field DSP is on both Facebook and YouTube if you want to have a look.
