Bay Window Card using Celebratory Sips DSP and Charming Day Bundle, updated measurement



Painting the flowers using a blend of inks was quick and easy, Add a coat of Wink of Stella and it's done.

I created this card for a swap using all current products.

I've done many Bay Window Cards over the years but thought I would update the instructions for the sake of simplicity.

It's an easy and fun card to make.

This is a mix of metric and imperial cutting instructions.

You can get two cards from one sheet of A4 cardstock - in Australian sizes just cut the A4 into two 10.5cm x 29.8cm 

If you are cutting from 12 x 12 (and in this instance I used Two Tone Cardstock which is all 12 x 12) Cut to 4 1/4 x 11 3/4 

Scoring measurements are the same for each :

Score at 3/8", 2", 3 7/8", 5 1/2", 5 7/8"

Two Tone cardstock is not as rigid as regular card so use Thick Basic White for the sentiment mat inside. Cut one at 4 x 4". This adds stability.

DSP cut two strips 4' x 1/4" for the narrow edges which frame the piece.

DSP use one sheet 6 x 4" - with direction of pattern Landscape.

Cut 1 1/2", 1 3/4", 1 1/2" 1 1/4" - if you cut these in this order the pattern will flow across the page and the 1 1/4" piece will be on the inside.

Adhere the 3/8" section on the inside at the Centre Fold before you start, then add DSP to the front panels.

The focal panel can be anything you desire and the raised element to hold it open always looks great if done in glimmer and layered two pieces together - approximately 3/4" circle/ shape works well.

The inside always needs a little colour too!

Charming Day is such a great set to use, I love the simplicity. For these flowers I used a paintbrush and painted the flowers a mix of Timid Tiger and Strawberry Slush, and the leaves Mossy Meadow and Garden Green. 

here's a few other ideas

New In colour 2025-2027 cards and the FABULOUS Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape.

Don't you love it when a single product creates enough elements to decorate a bunch of cards at one time? The Extraordinary Flora Washi tape is one of those products. I created these for my upcoming Catalogue Launch. I put the Washi onto Basic Beige to cut these flowers and love how it coordinates with the Basic Beige card base. To create these cards I trimmed 2.5cm from the front edge and adhered a 3.5cm strip of DSP to the inside of the card to give an added layer. These were easy to put together. Darling Duckling Secret Sea Strawberry Slush Timid Tiger Cloud Clover June 3 - 30 Stampin Up has an amazing offer where you can get 50% off any second product from a suite. So for example if you were to purchase the Extraordinary Flora Die you would be able to buy the tape at 50% off. Please reach out if you want more information on this great deal. You can see all the available suites in my online store. I am loving all the new colours.  I hope you have a creative week and remember,...

GDP #277 a gorgeous colour combination with Pretty Perennials

The Pretty Perennials Stampset is gorgeous to use on its own but the floral dies really do add a little something special. My card this week matches the colour challenge at the Global Design Project. I have stamped directly onto the Oh so Ombre DSP which is a free Sale A Bration item with a qualifying purchase for the rest of this month. I love the tone on tone stamping for added depth. I have gone over the Happy with Wink of Stella but it's not easy to photograph. The teeny heart is a teeny leftover of some retired Blushing Bride Glimmer paper and I have also incorporated other retired embellishments like the library clip and crystal button - I do love to use them up. Pink and florals - a perfect match. Here's what I used.

CTC#48 Who doesn't love new DSP

Welcome back to CASEing the Catty for this round. You may have come from Rachel's beautiful project  or you maybe starting here. There are lots of great posts to visit. This week we are using new Designer Series paper from the Holiday Catalogue - and who doesn't love a pack of new paper? The problem of course is which one to choose.... followed by the problem of actually having to CUT into a pristine pack. ....I know you all know what I mean. I have lots of photos for you today to try and show off some of the designs, but it's not easy to capture and they always look so much better in real life. I have purchased two packs - the Happy Haunting pack on page 47, which I was inspired to get purely from the background piece on the Lighthearted Leaves card on page 44. I don't celebrate Halloween, nor am I usually all that partial to Orange shades, but maybe that's changing! because I really like the designs. The pack has several papers that are specifically...
