Ideas for using your Stampin' Up! DSP with The Tantalizing Stampers

 

Hi and welcome to another Tuesday blog hop and share of all things fun about using Designer Series Papers (DSP) on your projects.  The Tantalising Stampers are sharing ideas every Tuesday in October because Stampin' Up! has a nice discount on selected DSP during October.  You can see all the papers included in the offer and more in my Stampin' Up! Shop. 

For my share this week I've used the fun and colourful Plaid Tidings DSP on page 57 of the winter mini catalogue.  Having said colourful I've probably used one of the less bold pieces of 6 x 6" paper because I was making my card for one of the guys.  

I used the Love of Leaves bundle and took one stitched leaf die to create an aperture for my matt layer of DSP to shine through.  I've added a sentiment from the coordinating stamp set and used an off cut to matt that too.  

Here I used the die cut leaf shape which comes with a die that just adds the leaf veins taken from the card above.  The left over piece of dsp from the 6 x 6" shape fitted nicely onto my card base and I added some  greenery using the sprig punch. Before adhering the leaf I used a piece of double sided tear and tape to add a randomly looped piece of linen thread.  

Both cards have some enamel dots added for a little more texture.  

Simple but effective card making.  You can find all the materials in my shop.  

Enjoy the hop and all the fabulous ideas from my Tantalizing Team.  

Keep safe and keep stamping

Autumn Masculine Card for MAWTT

Rooted in Nature hand made card perfect for those masuline cards

Join our Moving Along with the Times challenge this week to share your autumn themed cards. Jodie chose the theme and I have create a mixed media card all with Stampin' Up! products.  There's a little faux torn edge in there along with actual torn edges and I've used daubers to add ink to my tree stamp from Rooted in Nature stamp set to get those autumnal shades in there. I've used linen thread and a brad as well as Wood Textures designer series paper.

I used to Postscript background stamp to add a stamp faux torn edge on the paper then tore the edges to suit and sponged ink on the torn edge to join the colours together. I've also used the torn edge to sponge further faux tears and second and third generation stamping of the postscript to give a faded look.

My sentiment is a combo of Merry Christmas To All and Tabs for Everything on a stitched circle die cut where again I've used smudging with sponges and second generation ink stamping to soften the edges of the circle and tone in with the sentiment and embellishments.

A busy card, but fun to make even though I had very inky fingers at the end.  I used Old Olive, Cajun Craze, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Soft Suede inks.

I just love the papers which backdropped my stamping so perfectly.

Don't forget to join in the challenge at MAWTT and see all the other Design Team inspiration and other entries.

Autumn Creations for Moving Along with the Times

Painted Harvest from Stampin' Up! is just perfect for the theme chosen by me for Team As Moving Along with the Times challenge starting today. 

We'd love to see your designs with an autumn theme and you can see the rest of the design teams designs at MAWTT.  

These cards are all based on a simple design with slightly different 'tweaks' the ones below are smaller 9.9cm square cards that you can get 3 out of a sheet of A4 card.  

My favourite part is the copper trim bow.  The trim starts as a ribbon but once you've tied a bow you can 'tease' the threads apart to give it some body and more of a 3D appearance.  It can also be used to slide treats inside it.  

I hope you'll join us at MAWTT for this easy challenge with a wide open theme. 

Thanks for popping by.
