That Faux Quilt pattern I shared on March 29th has been fun to apply to scenery papers such as this sheet from the retiring Pretty Prints Designer Paper pack. The pack includes 12 sheets of patterned paper: 4 each of 3 double-sided designs. But the 4 of each are in 4 different main colors: Bermuda Bay, Mossy Meadow, Calypso Coral and Blackberry Bliss. So each sheet in the pack is unique.
For today’s cards, my Faux Quilt patterns are from the lowest section of this sheet.
Products I used… See below for a list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store. Items not available until May 2nd are not listed.
Here is the first card where I used the first of the three lower sections of that designer paper.
By the way, all three cards today that I’m sharing require these same measurements.
Measurements
- Base Cardstock (Pretty Peacock, Mossy Meadow or Lost Lagoon)
- 4-1/4” x 11” scored parallel to short end at 5-1/2”
- (opt.) scraps for stamping and/or cutting/punching images
- Basic White Cardstock
- (2) 4” x 5-1/4” – one for the inside layer and one for under the designer paper
- (opt.) scraps for stamping and/or cutting/punching images
- Pretty Prints Designer Paper
- 3-13/16” x 5” – then cut according to the directions in the how-to video connected to the March 29th blog post
- Cardstock for sentiment section (Calypso Coral or Basic White)
- 1-1/4” x 2-9/16”
The how-to video will be very helpful for cutting the designer paper. But these photos from that March 29th blog post may help too…
Once you’ve added all the designer paper layers to your white layer, stamp the sentiment and attach that layer in place. Assemble the card layers. Then add the embellishing pieces. (Use a Bone Folder to curl the petals of the flowers a bit before connecting them together and adding to the card.)
For this first card, the base cardstock (and ink) is Pretty Peacock (available May 2). The jewel in the center is the Calypso Coral large one from the Iridescent Pastel Gems pack.
Here is the second card using the second of the three lower sections of the paper. It’s a slightly different look, but still very peaceful. In fact that’s why I paired these cards with the Through It Together Stamp Set (also retiring soon). The imagery connects well with the sentiments.
For this one, the base cardstock (and ink) is Mossy Meadow. The jewels are the gold ones. And I cut my punched set of leaves into smaller sections to put behind the tiny flowers.
Here is the last card where I used the third of the three lower sections of that sheet of designer paper. For this one, the base cardstock is Lost Lagoon (available May 2). The ink is Blackberry Bliss. The jewels are the Balmy Blue ones. I stamped with the Layering Leaves set (also available May 2) before punching the two sets of leaves. I stamped with the Petal Park set before punching the flower.
And I added that sentiment layer with Dimensionals.
I got these great color combinations from Stampin’ Up!’s Color Combo resource (also call the Color Coach). You can download it from my website under the What’s New drop-down menu.
