CWK features Stampin’ Up!® Nature’s Sweetness Suite with Patchwork Pieces
These rich neutrals really shine when paired with the gorgeous gold foil accents. They make a simple card look elegant.
This sympathy card could easily transform into a wedding, birthday, congratulations, masculine, anniversary card and more. Just change up the bling and the sentiment and Voila!
This version (from my video linked below) shows how you can jazz up the same card a bit by adding some brighter gold embellishments (Blooming Pearls) and a 3D embossing folder (Softly Sophisticated), change the sentiment to birthday…and it’s a new look!
Measurements:
- Thick Basic White cardstock: 4 1/4″ x 11”, scored at 5 1/2″ (x 4 for 4 cards since the DSP makes 4 cards)
- Basic White or Thick Basic White cardstock: 3 3/8″ x 3 3/8″ to mount the DSP diecut pieces onto (x 4 for 4 cards since the DSP makes 4 cards)
- Pebbled Path cardstock: 4″ x 4 ” (x 4 for 4 cards since the DSP makes 4 cards)
- Nature’s Sweetness DSP: 3 1/2″ wide x 4″ tall (pay attention to direction when cutting DSP) x 4 sheets of different patterns that coordinate well with each other in size, color, scale, etc.) NOTE: Cutting the DSP like this makes 4 cards with each pattern in a different position.
Instructions:
- Decide which DSP sheets look best together, considering:
- different size prints (scale),
- different but coordinating background colors
- mixing metallic and plain sheets
- one sheet ties in all the colors used in the other sheets if possible.
- Stack 4 pieces of DSP in a pleasing order.
- Select the top sheet and diecut with Patchwork Pieces die, then the next sheet and so on. (NOTE: to prevent DSP waste, sheets will not cover the entire die.)
- Just line up the die leaving a small even border on the bottom, top and right side. (The top will be cut off, but that portion will be covered up later.
- Lay the die on the table cutting side up so you can see the pattern, then lay out 4 stacks of the DSP in the pattern order of the die.
- Line up the bottom right corner of the DSP, then go to the next pattern that butts up next to it and so on.
- Once everything is where it should be, adhere the far right corner of the white square with Seal, and then Seal the others. (Trim off excess DSP as needed.)
- Emboss the Pebbled Path square if desired.
- Attach a foam adhesive in a circle around inside the back of the diecut Pebbled Path circle.
- Mount the Pebbled Path square onto your desired position over onto the DSP/white square.
- Stamp desired greeting and splatter stamp on the front and inside as desired.
- Glue flat the back of the DSP square to the cardbase.
- Add embellishments and vanilla flower diecut as desired.
- You’ll find more details and another card version (that added the Simply Sophisticated 3D Embossing Folder from SAB and the Blooming Pearls that are a carryover item) on my 1/13/24 videos linked on YouTube here or Facebook page here.
