Share It Sunday July Blog Hop

Welcome to the Share It Sunday July Blog Hop as we share projects we are currently working on to help spark your creativity. You will be visiting with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators as they share their projects and ideas to help inspire you.

Today I am sharing two cards I created with new products from the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog and the August-September 2021 Sale-a-bration Catalog. I love playing with new products and experimenting with new color combinations, so I decided to a version of a One Sheet Wonder but I only used half a sheet of Basic White cardstock, measuring 8 1/2" x 5 1/2". The Delicate Dahlias stamp set has a wonderful variety of images so I stamped the Basic White cardstock to create a pretty background. I also used one of the images from the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set to add texture to the design. The colors I chose were Highland Heather, Fresh Freesia, Soft Sea Foam, Mint Macaron and Just Jade. I chose Thick Basic White cardstock to create the card bases to help make the stamped backgrounds pop.

2 Tags die cut with Tailor Made Tags Dies

Card 1 (Horizontal)

I took the 5" x 3 3/4" stamped piece and attached it to the Thick Basic White cardstock. I heat embossed the sentiment with Silver embossing powder onto the Basic White Label and then attached it to the Just Jade Label with adhesive. Using a piece of Fresh Freesia Ribbon, I tied a knot to embellish the tag. I attached the tags to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals and finished off the design with some Basic Rhinestones for a touch of bling.

Card 2 (Vertical):

I centered the 4 3/4" " x 3 3/4" stamped background to the Thick Basic White card base. The reason for this strange measurement is that I made a mistake when cutting and accidently cut it a 1/4" shorter on the long side. Note to self: pay more attention when cutting.

I created the sentiment labels the same as for the first card design and attached them to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. Once again, I added Basic Rhinestones for a touch of bling.

These clean and simple cards are great for a variety of occasions and this technique is a wonderful way to play with new products and explore new color combinations.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design helps inspire you to create your own wonderful designs to share with family and friends. The One Sheet Wonder technique is a fun way to play with paper, stamps and ink to create beautiful cards.
