Making Use Of Patterned Paper

The Modern Garden DSP will retire soon, and I had to share this pretty piece which reminds me a little of a summery Liberty print fabric. I used nearly the whole 6" X 6" piece for this card front, with a cut to allow both sides of the paper to be seen.

This design is one of those which lets you use up scarps from the desk. The leftover from the first card is sliced with one piece turned over and other scraps make up the rest of the puzzle.

Heartfelt Hexagon is such a useful stamp & punch bundle which I am using a lot for labels. The frame for sentiments sets them off, whether you use a matching or contrasting colour and there is a lot of variety in the sentiments too.

Many of these sentiments are even suitable for the inside of cards.

 

Modern Garden Birthday

The challenge I set myself was to see how many cards I could make with the eight different patterns of Garden Walk DSP. The answer is...a lot! I wrote a PDF featuring 12 different cards for my November class. Let me tell you though, use those scraps and you can make more than that. Each class attendee received the 8 sheets of DSP, the PDF and we made 3 cards together. The rest are 'homework' to cover December & January when we don't have classes.

 These are a couple made with the Wild Wheat and Garden Green papers and the birthday greetings in the Modern Garden stamp set. There are no dies with this stamp set, but those flowers are easy to fussy cut.

For colour matches, refer to the back of your packet of DSP, they are all listed there under the title. I've used Poppy Parade, one of the brightest reds in our range.

Keep on crafting,

Colour Creations Blog Hop - Week 31 - Lost Lagoon

 

Contributors to this blog hop are all members of Claire Daly's Art With Heart group. We love chatting, crafting and getting together in person. 

This week our projects showcase Lost Lagoon, which isn't actually as green as it seems in the sample above. Lost Lagoon might just be my favourite returning colour, it goes so well with many other shades. I've used it with Garden Walk 6" X 6" DSP and it was included as a card in my November classes. All the classes enjoyed making this card and saw it as a way to be able to use up more of their pretty patterned paper. I had seen Emma Goddard demonstrate this fold several months ago, using Zoo Crew.

The background of these two sheets of Garden Walk seems to be a lighter shade of Lost Lagoon, and there are small flowers in that shade while the leaves are Pretty Peacock.

There are no dies with Modern Garden so the flowers were fussy cut and I used a die from Timeless Charm for those lacy leaves.

Next we are heading to the blog of my lovely friend Catherine Proctor. I'm sure you'll love her project.

Happy crafting, 

CTC #445 CASE-ing Garden Walk

 

CASE-ing The Catty Crew are a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from Australia & New Zealand who take inspiration weekly from the catalogues. The catalogues are a fantastic resource, and we love to inspire you to seek inspiration there too.

This week we are CASE-ing Garden Walk Suite, pages 52-55 and after receiving an order on Friday I was able to try them out on this masculine card. 

The middle card in the bottom row is the card I chose to CASE and the points I have used are ...

1. a stamped background on coloured cardstock
2. a group of elements (theirs are flowers, mine are shapes) secured by a long, slim sentiment label.

Colours are Smoky Slate, Basic Gray, Lost Lagoon and Basic Black and the stamp sets were mainly Medley Mix and Of Art & Texture.

The background is a collage of patterns in different patterns, and then some Mixed Medley shapes were stamped and punched to add under the sentiment.

Of Art & Texture is a new addition to the Online Exclusive section of the store, and I was very keen to add this to my collections since I make a lot of masculine cards.

A Year To Celebrate has the big bold sentiment used here on the inside of the card. The sentiment on the front of the card is actually from Modern Garden, part of the Garden Walk suite.

This pair of punches were in my order too. Initially I didn't think I needed them, but I've changed my mind and ordered them later. Unfortunately, that means I missed out on saving 10%by not buying Inked & Tiled stamps and the punches as a bundle.

We love for you to share your projects using the challenges. We do request that the projects you submit have been created especially for this challenge. You can CASE directly or be inspired by a sketch/layout, colour combo or embellishment. Ask to join our Facebook group, and then add a picture of your CASE.

Next CTC design Team member joining the hop this week is Julia Quinn

Have a happy crafty week.

More Modern Garden Christmas

 

Another Christmas card for my stash using the Garden Walk DSP. You can make a few of these by cutting the centre panel 8cm X 12cm and mounting it on Poppy Parade card stock .5cm larger.

On Wednesday I shared the Garden Green card for a Colour Creations blog hop featuring that shade of green and tonight here is its buddy in Pretty Peacock.

The sentiment is included in Modern Garden stamp, but I also used the frame stamp & punch from Heartfelt Hexagon, an online exclusive at the moment which is to be released in the next mini catalogue (January 2024).

Heartfelt Hexagon Bundle 

Although Modern Garden is bundled with a punch, I chose not to purchase that one and use the Heartfelt Hexagon punch in its place.

Modern Garden Photopolymer stamp $42

Garden Walk DSP -$21.75

Colour Creations Blog Hop - Week 25 - Garden Green

 

Contributors to this blog hop are all members of Claire Daly's Art With Heart group. We love chatting, crafting and getting together in person.

Garden Green is the colour for week 25, and I selected a paper from Garden Walk 6" X 6" DSP. There is a great selection of colours and patterns in the pack, and I have made it my mission to make as many cards as I can from a quarter pack for my last class for 2023, in November.

This was one of two papers in the pack which had a "Christmas feel". I will share the other later in the week. The sentiment from Modern Garden has been stamped in red onto a Heartfelt Hexagon label.  I used Joy of Noel to stamp holly and die cut leaves etc.

Our next delightful team member is my good friend Tina Gillespie.

Colour Creations - Week 23 - Flirty Flamingo

Flirty Flamingo isn't actually listed on the colours in Garden Walk DSP but Calypso Coral is. The Garden Walk DSP still seems to goes well with the Flirty Flamingo card. I really do like this pack of papers, such lovely colours, plus one for Christmas too.

This style of card was demonstrated by suestampfield on Facebook recently, also using Garden Walk DSP but I haven't bothered with her measurements, just the construction so my card does not look so much like hers.

The card is made by cutting a base measuring 10.5cm by 14.5cm and then add another piece 21cm by whatever you choose in width. Score at 10.5cm and glue the back of this piece to the other base, in the position you choose.

The designer series paper, Garden Walk was cut to size allowing for mounting on Basic White card mats. A single flower from Modern Garden was stamped inside.

I couldn't resist using Heartfelt Hexagons and the matching punch on this card. They are going to be one of the featured stamps this Saturday in the free Stampin' Up! event for everyone interested in card making. Have you registered or will you just tune in?

Next team member this week is the wonderful Christine Blain. You are heading over to see some more Heartfelt Hexagon inspiration.
