Casually Crafting - November 2021
I'm back with another casual card for the Casually Crafting Blog Hop. We're a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators that love to stamp and love to share. We share card and projects that are simple and easy to create with a few products and are perfect for the beginner and casual stamper. Our blog hop goes live on the third Saturday of each month. I hope you'll join us and "hop" around our group to be inspired!
This month the theme is based on a Colour Challenge - using Black, Grey and White.
I love cards in these colours - often I add a pop of red, but for my card today I didn't do that. I used the beautiful Pattern Party Designer Series Paper which you can get for free with your Stampin' Rewards. It's a pack of 48 sheets of 12" x 12" paper - one side is pretty colours and the other side is black and white. I used it for my customer thank you cards this month - check those out here.
For my card for this challenge, I punched out different black and white patterns using the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch. I love being able to use up scraps of paper and this card is perfect for that!
Instructions
- Cut Basic Gray card stock 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and score at 4 1/4". Fold in half to form card base.
- Cut Basic Black card stock 4" x 5 1/4" and adhere to card base
- Cut Basic White card stock 3 3/4" x 5" and adhere to card base.
- Cut Basic Gray card stock 1 1/4" x 5"
- Stamp cross images on Basic Gray card stock using Basic Gray ink.
- Adhere to card base about 1/2" from left edge of Basic White card stock.
- Stamp sentiment using Basic Gray ink on right side of strip.
- Punch out 4 patterns of Designer Series Paper using Rectangular Postage Punch.
- Adhere to card base in staggered pattern using Dimensionals.
- Adhere Silver Metallic Pearls
- Cut Basic White card stock 4" x 5 1/4"
- Adhere last rectangle to bottom right corner
- Adhere to the inside of the card.
You can find all of the supplies for this card in my Online Store.

Fabulous card Melva. I love that you used the postage punch pieces of DSP as your focal points.
ReplyDeleteLovely card Melva, great use of the DSP! Thank you for sharing! - Ann 🌷
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever idea, Melva! Very effective!
ReplyDeleteThe DSP you used is one of my favorites! Thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteLove this card for so many reasons. It's great for those who are not confident stampers and it shows off the designer series paper. Great card.
