Stampin' Pals: So Sentimental

Rococo Rose is a lovely full-bodied pink which we are featuring this week on the Colour Creations Showcase. It is also an In Color which retires from our catalogue in a few weeks. I have teamed it with some pastels and placed it on another shade of pink.

My doctor is going on maternity leave in a week, and so I have a small gift for her when I see her tomorrow. I hope she likes the cute Pierced Blooms. It's a lot of fun die cutting a heap and working out which you'll put together.

So Sentimental has this lovely greeting, which fits so beautifully inside the label. Just for fun, I've doubled up on co-ordinating white labels. The stamp set is about to retire, but not the matching Stitched So Sweetly dies.

Cathy Proctor co-ordinates this wonderful colour challenge, so pop back to her blog, What Cathy Made for more Rococo Rose inspiration.

Six Quick Cards

Earlier this year Shannon West shared 'Double Wonder cards' with demos in the United States. Basically, this is a cutting plan to make 11 cards from 2 half sheets of 12" square paper (6" X 12"). For years we've circulated cutting plans for 'One Sheet Wonder' cards, and this cutting plan, inspired by Shannon's Double Wonder Card, uses 2 pieces of 6" X 6" DSP to make six quick, easy, fun cards.

In addition to 6 card bases which suit your DSP, you will need 4 pieces measuring 8.1cm X 11.5cm. They can be white or a colour. You will also need 6 labels with sentiments, perhaps some ribbon twine and embellishments.

Take your two sheets of DSP and with one on top of the other, cut 3 strips 3.5cm wide and the length of the paper. They need to be cut in half at the midway point, 7.6cm. Six inches is just over 15cm. Each card uses three pieces, and I suggest spacing the two outer ones first, so that you can centre the 3rd one. These are attached to the 8.1cm x11.5cm card. There are many ways to arrange these.

You are left with 2 pieces 5cm wide. These are perfect for a card as is, but here is an alternative. Cut these strips at 7.6cm also. Now you can mix and match these to your heart's delight. They can be spaced close together, have a contrast strip between, a slim gap between and a strip at the top or bottom, the ideas are endless.

I've made a video to show how easy it is to cut and arrange these pieces, you'll find it here. The diagram below (not to scale) may be enough to jump start your creativity.
