Today for me means Fall!! I always think of October as the change into Fall with leaves becoming the gorgeous Fall colors and a relief from the heat of Summer. It also makes me think of Paper Crafting and Stampin’ Up! of course! World Card Making Day is October 3rd this year. And what a great way to start the month than making cards. Stampin’ Up! has added to that fun with a Designer Series Paper Sale! 15% OFF of select papers. I have them all listed below. I love that it is simply the 15% off and not buy a certain amount to get a free one.
I am sharing a card today that has one of these sale papers as the main design. It is the Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper. This paper was in last year’s Holiday catalog and was a Returning Favorite this year.
The Toile Tidings Designer Series Paper is two sided as all of Stampin’ Up!’s DSP, but this one is a bit different. The patterns are the same on both sides. The only difference is that one side is Garden Green and the other is Real Red. I love this!
This is a super quick card to make. I simply layered a strip of the Toile Tidings onto a strip of Real Red and adhered it to the front. The tag is made using the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch along with the Rectangle Postage Stamp Punch. I believe they layered wonderfully together. The sentiment is from the Rustic Christmas stamp set. It is in the Annual Catalog and a favorite of mine. The images are all a bit on the smaller side and pair very well with this DSP. I finished it off with the 3/8″ Embroidered Ribbon from the Mini Catalog.
Here is a look at the inside of the card.
The little sprig is from the Rustic Christmas stamp set as well. And the DSP is another of the Toile Tidings patterns. You may not have really noticed from the front view of the card, but the front is cut shorter than the back. I wanted the striped DSP to show with the card closed. Plus it gives a bit of a different look, and I love different folds and cuts to cards. I have all of the measurements listed just below.
- The card base is 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. Cut 1 1/4″ off of the front piece.
- The striped DSP is cut to 5 1/2 x 1 1/2″ . This ensures there will not be a gap when the card is closed.
- The front DSP is cut to 5 1/2 X 2
- The Real Red beneath the DSP is cut to 5 1/2 X 2 1/4
- The Real Red Tag is 2 X 2 1/2 prior to being punched
