Peaceful Print 12″ x 12″ DSP

Looking for an idea on what to do with the designer paper selections from the Sale-a-bration catalog?

Why not a fancy fold pop-up center card and decorated notebook.  I’ve teamed up the Peaceful Prints 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper and the Whimsical Trees Bundle for today’s projects.

Card basics:

  • Card base 5 1/2″ x 12″, scored at 2″ – 4″ – 6″ – 8″
  • To create the pop out – cut from the 2″ – 6″ score marks down 1 1/4″ from the top and bottom
  • Card stock mats
    • 4 – 1 3/4″ x 1″
    • 2 – 1 3/4″ x 2 3/4″
    • 2 – 1 3/4″ x 5 1/4″
    • 1 – 3 3/4″ x 5 1/4″
  • Designer Paper
    • 4 – 1 5/8″ x 7/8″
    • 2 – 1 5/8″ x 2 5/8
    • 2 – 1 5/8″ x 5 1/8″

Here is the card spread out so you can see all the sections.

Top view of the card so you can see the “W” shape.

Why not take one of those notebooks from your local big box store and decorate it!  I’ve measured the front, added designer paper with liquid glue, making sure the edges are not securely.  Next I’ve stamped images on Basic White card stock, matted with more designer paper, added some pieces of the Be Dazzling Specialty Paper (SAB item) and you have a nice gift for someone or even yourself!

Sentiment Strip Pop-Up Card

In August when my Sunday Stampers met, one of the ladies asked about a Sentiment Strip Pop-Up Card, so I’ve done my research to make my card for today. Just wait until she sees one of the cards we will be making this month when we meet on the 19th!

Products used:

  • Beauty of the Earth 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper
  • Whimsical Trees Bundle (stamp set & dies)
  • Christmas to Remember Stamp Set (sentiment on front)
  • Basic White & Night of Navy Card stock
  • Wonderful Snowflakes
  • Blue Adhesive Backed Gems

 

On the inside of my card, I’ve added Night of Navy mats 4″ x 5 ¼” on both sides and made my designer paper 5″ x 8 1/8″, scored in half, then scored 3/4″ from the center fold on both sides. I’ve used a scrap from the Wonderful Snowflakes for the die cut garland on the little tree.  The bottom section is blank so I can write on it.

Check out the Splitcoaststampers tutorial below. I would suggest making the basic card first, then try one with card stock mats.
