July's MISSION- Cards for A Cause

Hi Again Friends!

It has been a busy summer and it seems as though the days are just flying by!! 

This past week I started working on a few cards for this month’s Splitcoaststampers’ C4AC41 "MISSION- Cardsfor A Cause" and the cards for July will be sent to the South Carolina Department of Juvenile Justice (see details here). 

I decided to keep the cards fairly Clean and Simple (CAS) and for most of them used some of my retired Stampin’ Up! Paisley Prints Designer Series Paper (DSP) and incorporated a few online challenges with some of the designs (I will the online challenge cards separately).

 

Since the cards are pretty straightforward on design, I will be just listing the additional stamp sets used, etc.  If you have any questions, please let me know in the comments :-)

10 Minute CAS Thank You Scrap Card :-)

Hi Again, Stampers! 

I decided to create a CAS Card using this week’s Stampin’ Royalty SR176 Colors along with the Splitcoaststampers SC422 Sketch .   

I hope you can take a moment to check out both sites- you will find terrific inspiration! 

Luckily, I was able to create this card using scraps that were already embossed, so it was a 10 minute card for me as well- love those scraps!:-) 

                                                                                               

To create this very easy CAS card:

Use the Big Shot™ with the Square Lattice Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder to emboss a piece of Pool Party cardstock- trim down to 4” W x 5 1/4”H and mount onto a piece of Island Indigo cardstock.

Create the large flower with the Blossom Punch (already embossed the Calypso Coral cardstock with the Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder)  and the center is two rolled flowers into one- the center is the 1 ¼” Scallop Circle Punch and the 1 ¾” Scallop Circle Punch- spiral cut around the scalloped circle toward the center, roll and glue the smaller one in the center of the larger rolled flower.  Adhere the double rolled flower center to the embossed blossom.

Add the DSP Panel, Tea Doily Paper Lace corner and the Scallop border along with the sentiment to finish off the card. 

­Stamp Sets: Because I Care (sentiment)

Ink:  Island Indigo

Paper: Whisper White, Pool Party, Island Indigo, Calypso Coral, Sycamore Street DSP

Accessories:  Big Shot™, Square Lattice and Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions™ Embossing  Folders, Punches- 1 3/4” Scallop Circle, 1 ¼” Scallop Circle, Blossom Punch, 1” Square Punch (for banner points), Pearl, Tea Lace Paper Doily

Thanks again for stopping by- have a great weekend!!
