Take to the Sky Designer Series Paper and CASE of Page 40 of Catalog, Part 2

So good to see you today.  This post is kind of a continuation of my last post.  In that post here, I CASEd a card from page 40 of our Stampin' Up! annual catalog.  I used the Unbound Beauty Designer Series Paper.  My post turned into a don't do as I did, do as I say post.  So today I have a different card using the Take to the Sky DSP instead.  It's the same layout and it cases the same card on page 40.  I have taken my own advice and changed the orientation of the cut outs.  Here is the new card.

Here is a look at the Take to the Sky Designer Series Paper!  This paper coordinates with the Adventurous Sky Bundle.

TAKE TO THE SKY 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 CM) DESIGNER SERIES PAPER

Thc card base is Thick Basic White 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, score and fold at 4 1/4.

To cover the front, I used the Copper Clay plaid patterned paper.  Cut it to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  Glue.  This should cover the entire front.

Use the hexagon smallest die from the Wildflower Designs dies to cut the designer paper with the airplanes.  Please note that this paper is directional when cutting.  Since the die is symetrical you should be able to just turn it around.  Be careful when gluing the pieces though.  Ask me how I know!

Looking at the sample on page 40, this is how I chose to start with the cut out placement.  The piece is touching the bottom of the card and is placed in the middle.  From there add more pieces leaving a little space between.  The pieces will hang over the edge.

Here I'm ready for the last row at the bottom.  You should be able to use some of the pieces left after trimming the top.

Here's how to determine where to cut.

For the saying on the front I stamped in Copper Clay on a piece of the designer paper with the clouds.  Cut out with the same die as all of the others.

The thread on this card is a little of a sneak peek.  The Natural Tones Linen Thread will be in the upcoming Sept-Dec mini.  There are three colors, Copper Clay, Garden Green, and Blueberry Bushel.  I think that's right.  I ran some of the Copper Clay around the card.  Add the saying on dimensionals.  The saying is from the Magnolia Mood stamp set.  Tie a bow and add it with a glue dot.

I did fussy cut a little airplane from a scrap to glue to the label and dress it up a little.

Add some of the Neutrals Adhesive-Backed Sequins.

For the inside I just added some strips of the Take to the Sky paper.  I cut out another little airplane to add.

I do think the write up of this post went a little better than the last.  Here is a picture of the Unbounded Beauty card so you can compare.

Use That 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper Continued with Three More Examples

Welcome!  Today I'm going to show three more examples of the easy fun fold using an entire sheet of 6 x 6 designer paper.  For the post with all of the directions and materials go here.  I made these cards on that post.

6 x 6 DSP Fun Folds  Glorious Gingham DSP  Subtles DSP  Thoughtful Expressions dies  Simply Zinnia dies  Adhesive Backed Hearts and Flowers  Jo Anne Hewins  Luv 2 Create

I loved this fold so much, I just couldn't stop making more!  I'm going to show each and tell you the materials that I used for them.

6 x 6 DSP Fun Fold  Inked Botanicals DSP  Thoughtful Expressions dies  Lost Lagoon Bordered Ribbon  Brushed Brass Butterflies  Jo Anne Hewins  Luv 2 Create

For this card, I used the Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper and the Ink & Tiled stamp set.  Color directly on the stamp with Calypso Coral and Pretty Peacock Stampin' Write Markers.  Stamp on Very Vanilla card stock.  Stamp the saying in Calypso Coral.  Cut out using the Thoughtful Expressions dies.  I'm sorry to say that these dies are no longer available.  Layer some of the Lost Lagon Bordered Ribbon under the cut out.  I just add a little Seal to the card front and then zigzag the ribbon.  Add dimensionals directly on the card without overlapping the ribbon.  Add some of the Brushed Brass Butterflies to embellish.

The next two cards are made using 12 x 12 patterned paper just cut down to 6 x 6.  If you wish you could get 4 cards from one sheet of paper.  For the first I used the Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper.

6 x 6 DSP  Zany Zoo DSP  Stylish Shapes  Bee Mine Valentine  Zinnia Shiny Sequins  Jo Anne Hewins  Luv 2 Create

Use Lemon Lime Twist card stock as the filler between the two pieces of Zoo Crew paper.  The Stylish Shapes dies were used to cut the bunny out of the designer paper.  Cut a larger circle from Basic Black.  Adhere to the card using dimensionals under the part of the circle that overlaps on the main part of the card and glue on the rest of the circle.  The saying here is from Bee Mine Valentine.  Stamp with Memento Black.  Cut out with a smaller circle and glue.  Embellished with Adhesive Backed Shiny Sequins.  These sequins are currently out of stock but will be back!

And finally, the last card is made with the Let's Go Fishing Designer Series Paper cut down to 6 x 6.

6 x 6 DSP Fun Fold  Let's Go Fishing DSP  In Color Glossy Dots  Jo Anne Hewins  Luv 2 Create

For the strip of filler paper, use Very Vanilla card stock.  The saying is from the He's All That stamp set.  Stamp in Mossy Meadow on Very Vanilla.   Cut a notch out of the end.  Cut a small cut at the center of the end.  Then cut from each corner over to the end of your first cut.  This way each side looks the same.  Add the banner with dimensionals.  To add interest cut out fish from the designer paper.  Make them overlap the banner.  Glue where they overlap and mini dimensionals for the rest of the fish.  Embellish with In Color Glossy Dots.

Love That Classic Garage Suite!

I hate to say it, but it's sometimes hard to find good masculine stamps and accessories.  The Classic Garage Suite has it all.  Here's my card showing a few items in the suite.

Geared Up Garage Suite by Jo Anne Hewins

This card is for a dad, but you could of course change the sentiment if you wish.  The Geared Up Garage stamp set along with the Garage Gears Thinlits Dies make a great bundle.  But there is more.  Stay tuned!

Start with a Thick Whisper White base that is 5 1/2 x 8 1/2.  Score this at 4 1/4 and fold.  The Basic Black layer is 3 3/4 x 5.

The next layer is Tranquil Tide cut to 3 5/8 x 4 7/8.  Stamp over this layer with the car stamp and the smudge stamp.  Stamp off.  Do this in Basic Gray.  Add a strip of the Classic Garage 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper that is 1 x 4 7/8.  You just have to see all the great designs in this paper!  Add a length of the Black/Silver 1/4" Striped Metallic Ribbon across the patterned paper.  You will need a couple more pieces of ribbon that are about 2 1/2 inches long to make an X behind the sentiment.

Stamp the Best Dad on Whisper White in Tranquil Tide.  Cut this out with the thinlit that has the wings on the side.  Cut all of that out again with the same die on Basic Gray.  Put the Tranquil Tide sign inside the gray outside and tape together on the back.  Add with dimensionals.

One of the best parts of the Garage Gears Thinlits is the gears.  Cut them out in Basic Black and add to the outside of the card.  More will go on the inside.  Use Solid Black Baker's Twine to tie on the key.  I do have a glue dot behind the key to hole it in place.  The Classic Garage Metal Elements have keys and wrenches.

For the inside of the card, the gears and a saying are all you need.  It's all from this suite!

This card was a lot of fun to make.  I loved having all the supplies to make it special!

Apron of Love for Father's Day

Hey!  I'm so glad you are visiting my blog today.  I want to share a card I've made for my husband for Father's Day.  I used the Apron of Love stamp set along with the Apron Builder Framelits.  I think he'll like it.  I'm very fortunate to have such a great husband.  He is a wonderful father and now grandfather.  I know I've mentioned that we have a new granddaughter.  Well, my husband John has not been able to decide what he wants to be called.  He just wanted to wait and let her decide.  But you know we have to call him something.  He has changed his mind several times.  We have now decided on Grammie and Gramps.  We'll see.  Anyway, here is the card.

Apron of Love for Father's Day by Jo Anne Hewins

As many of you, I spend a little time using Pinterest to look up inspiration for cards to make.  I think it was Mary Fish that had a card made up of the little squares from the Stitched Shapes Framelits.  I like the look of it and decided to use this technique with the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper Stack.   Here are all the details.

The card base is Blueberry Bushel.  It measures 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 and is folded at 4 1/4.  The next layer is Whisper White and is cut at 3 3/4 x 5.  I picked different sheets from the Wood Textures for the squares.  I wanted it to have a patchwork look.  To place these, I started in the middle of the top.  I also used my grid paper to help me.  I placed the middle of the card on the center line of the grid paper.  I eyeballed the middle of the square and placed it at the grid line.  I hope that makes sense.

At the top of the white and wood layer, I ran a length of the Linen Thread.  The saying is from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set stamped in Blueberry Bushel.  Use the Classic Label Punch to punch that out.  I did tie a little knot around the twine.

The apron is cut from the 2018-2020 In Color Designer Series Paper Stack.  I am in love with these packs of paper.  I know I'll be buying a lot of it!  Cut out the apron, ties, neck string, and pocket.  Use the Apron Builder Framelits.  Glue all to the front of the card.

The cooking utensils are also part of the Apron Builder Framelits.  Cut them from the Silver Foil Sheets.  Glue so that they are sticking out of the Apron pocket.

The saying inside the card is from the Apron of Love stamp set.  I added a 1/2 inch strip of Wood Textures, left from some other project, and a tiny strip of the Blueberry stripe.  Add a few more of the utensils.

Dude Card for #tgifc56

Guy cards are hard for me.  I don't like orange.  My husband loves orange.  He grew up near Knoxville, TN and has fond memories of going to football games at UT.  I decided that the TGIF Challenge was a good opportunity to challenge me.

TGIF MAY 2016 New Challenges-005

For this card I'm featuring Night of Navy and Pumpkin Pie.  In fact, I'm using the orange corrugated paper from the May Paper Pumpkin.  I had left over orange since I used some of the Paper Pumpkin to make a wedding card.  You can see that here.  So here's my card for today.

Guy Greetings full spread

 

There are lots of layers in this card.  Let me give you the details.

  • The base is Night of Navy card stock cut at 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, scored at 4 1/4 and folded.
  • The first layer is Pumpkin Pie cut at 4 X 5 1/4.
  • Next comes the navy stripe paper.  This is from the Regals Designer Series Paper stack.  This paper is 3 3/4 x 5.
  • The smaller navy rectangle is 3 1/8 x 4 3/8.
  • Finally, the corrugated piece is cut down to 3 x 4 1/4.
  • Using the Hello You Thinlits, I cut the word happy from Night of Navy card stock.  Glue that on to the Pumpkin Pie piece.
  • The Father's Day sentiment is from the May Paper Pumpkin.  It's stamped in navy on Whisper White card stock measuring 3/4 x 2 1/4.
  • Using the stamp set Guy Greetings, stamp the hats in navy on white.  Fussy cut these out and adhere to the card.  I like the hats sitting on the word.

Guy greetings inside 

Here's the inside of the card.  I added a row of hats across the top and the bottom. The sentiment is also from Guy Greetings.  One more hat, stamped in Pumpkin Pie, is added to the insert.  I did stamp that on a scrap piece, cut it out, glued it on.

Guy greetings

 

So the card for my husband for Father's Day is done.  I'm actually a little ahead of time!  Thanks for stopping by today.  Follow me on Pinterest here.  See you next time.
