I haven't played with Summer Splash much since this In Color debuted in May. I vowed to use it for my Friday Night Live this week and I stumbled upon a gorgeous color combination: Summer Splash, Petunia Pop and Night of Navy. I took a stamp/die bundle that looks (and is) simple to use and created a beauty of card, based on the design of one of Stampin' Up!'s Artisan Design Team members. Measurements of Consumables Summer Splash card base (5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored and folded in half at 4-1/4") Basic White cardstock (two 4" x 5-1/4", scraps) Pool Party cardstock (1/2" x 3") In Color 6x6 DSP (Summer Splash, circles pattern) Essentials Twine (white, 8-9") Directions Die cut three label shapes from one of the Basic White layers, off-setting them as shown.

 At last week's Thoughtful Journey Stamp Camp, I introduced a 6-piece puzzle slider card. I had taken seen examples of a 4-piece and an 8-piece, but not a 6-piece, so I did some math and designed one specifically for the class.

BTW, there is a coordinating stamp and die bundle that coordinates with the DSP and it's part of the stamp-a-die-bundle sale all this month!

 At my last team meeting, we held a Shoebox Swap, where team members prepare the supplies for everyone to create one of their designed cards. Team member Rachel Sherman shared a Diagonal Z Fold and so I thought I'd share it with you! The prints on the Wildly Flowering DSP are perfect for this and really made a simple card look extra special. Measurements (DSP should be portrait orientation) Misty Moonlight: 8-1/2" x 11" (will make two bases) Basic White cardstock: 3-1/2" x 4-1/2" DSP Pattern 1 (Misty Moonlight monochromatic flowers): 4" x 5-1/4" DSP Pattern 2 (Crumb Cake linen pattern): 3-1/2" x 4-1/2" DSP Pattern 3 (Misty Moonlight with White and Wild Wheat flowers): 2-3/4" x 3-1/2" 2023-2025 In Color Jute Trim (Boho Blue): 7" Directions With the Misty Moonlight cardstock in landscape orientation, measure down 3" from the top edge on the left side and make a mark.
