Today’s card is a quick and easy card using the Fine Art Floral Designer Series paper as the star. Last I checked it is still available in the Last Chance Sale. The sheets in this pack are wonderful and work for any type of paper crafting. I also added in the Art Gallery stamp set, which carried over to the new Annual Catalog.
The Paper
If you follow me at all, you know how much I love Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper. I tell you often enough, right!! Something I especially like is that both sides of the papers are gorgeous. And today I used both sides of the same sheet.
Another thing I love to do is to Stamp On The DSP. I am not the only one who does it, but it is not seen very often. That is what I did today. On the sentiment layer I stamped the flower but then also stamped the small flower image. It is actually a layer for the flower. I stamped off on it before stamping on the DSP. The sentiment is from the Art Gallery stamp set also. The boldness of it seemed to work with the business of everything else.
Layout
The layout is a regular one. I just added the angle for the smaller sentiment piece. I did something that I do not normally do. I layered the two DSP pieces together after stamping the flowers. Then I lined up the bottom edge of the larger piece with the ruler along the bottom of my Stampin’ Up! Grid Paper. ( I used all the lines and ruler for everthing!!!) That way I could feel fairly certain to get the sentiment stamped straight even though the layer it is on is at an angle.
As is usual for me, I chose the colors of paper and ink from the DSP. I went with Mossy Meadow for the card base, which is not a common one for me. And Did Not put a layer between the base and the DSP. That is very unusual for me. I love my layers. The inks I used are Mossy Meadow and Poppy Parade, with the sentiment in Night of Navy. I have shocked myself with how few products I used for this card!!
Measurements
- The base card is cut to 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 scored and folded at 4 1/4
- The large DSP is cut to 3 7/8 X 5 1/8
- The angled and smaller DSP is cut 2 1/2 X 3 3/4
