Hello and welcome back! As promised, I've got the results of my one sheet wonder adventure for you today. There are lots of different designs out there, but the one I found gets 14 cards from 1 sheet of DSP! Here is the cutting pattern.
And here is the design showing the placement of the elements on the cards. I placed some of mine differently.
I was hoping to photograph them as a group but had to make a couple and mail them before all of the cards were complete. So here are separate pictures of all 14 cards (not in order - see captions).

I used Whisper White Thick Cardstock for all card bases and the retired Magnolia Lane DSP for the panels. All DSP panels are layered on Early Espresso cardstock cut 1/8" larger on both dimensions. Sentiments are stamped in Mossy Meadow on Whisper White cardstock, with some layered on Petal Pink cardstock. The extra flowers were fussy cut from another sheet of the DSP. I also added the retired Petal Pink variegated ribbon on a couple of the cards. Card #13 got the special coloring treatment with the large die-cut magnolia colored with Stampin' Blends.
Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!

Hello and welcome back! Today's project started out as a going-away thank you gift for a special person, so it turned out to be perfect for the TGIFC Challenge this week!
Here's the first photo of my project, with more to follow, along with explanations and instructions:
Our church's pastor of care ministries is moving to North Carolina, and today is her last day with us. She has gotten me through some rough times over the past several years, and I cherish her friendship. I am very thankful that she has been in my life, so a simple going-away card was not going to cut it! So I turned the card into a mini album!
I got the idea from Pinterest (don't we all?!), from Sarah Willis. You can find her tutorial here. I wanted something a bit smaller, so I made mine using 4 note card envelopes. My inspiration for this album was the Banner Blessings photopolymer stamp set, but I wanted to expand on that. I stamped each of the images from Banner Blessings onto Whisper White cardstock and fussy-cut them out. They were layered onto various shapes and then attached to cards made from the old Sale-a-Bration Irresistably Yours DSP which were sponged with matching inks. Tabs made from matching ribbons were stapled to the cards, which were then backed with matching solid cardstock. Each one was tucked into one of the envelopes, and those were also embellished. Here is what the rest of the album looks like:
All of the sentiments on the envelope pages were stamped with Versamark and heat embossed with black embossing powder. The sentiments on the front and inside back covers were embossed with white embossing powder, as were the vellum flowers on the front cover.
So here are the numbers for my version of the envelope mini album: The base was cut 5-3/8" x 7-7/8" and scored on the long side at 3-5/16" and 3-15/16". The layers on the envelopes are: color cardstock 3" x 5", white cardstock 2-3/4" x 4-3/4", DSP 2-5/8" x 4-5/8". For the front and inside back cover, the white cardstock layer is 3-1/4" x 5-1/4" and the smaller layer is 3-1/8" x 5-1/8". The insert cards are 3" x 4-7/8".
The following products used are all retired Stampin' Up!: Pretty in Pink cardstock; Crushed Curry and Pear Pizzazz chevron ribbon; Melon Mambo and Marina Mist organza ribbon; Melon Mambo and Marina Mist dotted ribbon; Daffodil Delight stitched grosgrain ribbon; Irresistibly Yours, Polka Dot Parade, Sunshine & Sprinkles, and Nursery Nest DSP; old-style Brights Designer Buttons; Rhinestone Brads; Large Pearl Jewels; Hearts Framelits; and the Petal Potpourri stamp set. All current products will appear below.
I hope Patsy likes this album. I'm sure going to miss her!
Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!

Hello and welcome back! Today's card is for the color challenge at Can You Case It.
And here's my entry:
My son is headed to a wedding this weekend and this card is for the newlyweds. I was inspired by their wedding invitation, which you can see part of in this picture:
With the shades of green in the invitation, it was perfect for this challenge. I built my card on a Wild Wasabi cardstock base. The main layer is Watercolor Paper stamped with the "vintage" Distressed Dots background stamp. I inked the stamp with Wild Wasabi and then randomly sponged on some Garden Green and Island Indigo. I stamped it onto the paper, then spritzed it with water to soften the background. The hearts from the Watercolor Words stamp set were stamped in Island Indigo onto Watercolor Paper and spritzed, then fussy cut. The Wild Wasabi ribbon was wrapped around the layer and tied in a knot and the hearts were attached with dimensionals. The "love" was cut from Island Indigo cardstock using the Expressions thinlits and attached with the mini stapler. A few sequins were added for a bit of bling.
I wish I were going to this wedding - I have a feeling it will be unique!
Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!
