Over my last few posts, I have been using one of my favourite sketches, last week I showed how to stamp directly on to Designer Series Paper to create a card. Whilst cutting the DSP I created strips from the left-over piece to create a second card. I had said that I would show you how to create a card using those scraps. Unfortunately, the paper retired and then I lost my original video (somehow, I corrupted my videos again…. Whoops, I have a habit of breaking electronics.) So, I picked another design of DSP.
The DSP I have used is from the new 2021 to 2022 catalogue, it is a host reward called Pattern Party, which can only be ordered using Stampin’ Rewards. What are Stampin’ Rewards? Stampin’ Rewards can only be earned by an order from a party or an individual that is £150+ (before postage). If your Stampin’ Up! party sales reach between £150 and £274.99, the hostess of the party / individual will receive 10% of that total to spend for free!
I have to confess, I tend to use any rewards I earn to put towards bundles I love, but I loved the paper so much that I bought it in the Demo pre-order. After the 4th May the only way to get it is by using Stampin’ Rewards. I love the paper as it is a stunning combination of coloured patterns on one side and monochromatic black and white patterns on the other.
I had some strips of the new Pattern Party DSP left from crating a box (I haven’t sussed out the closure yet but when I do I will share it with you!) I have used the Petal Pink, Pumpkin Pie, Granny Apple Green, Flirty Flamingo and Bermuda Bay Stampin’ Markers to colour the stamp to make a multi coloured sentiment to match the stripes. Crazily, the Stampin’ Markers are from 3 colour families, or you can get them in one collection.
the sketch above shows the basics for the card, the layer works in any measurement from 9.5 cm to 7.5cms wide (3.75” to 3”)
