At my Country Bouquet card class in February this is one of the projects we created.  A cute little Tote Bag which holds a set of 4 notecards. We first created the multicoloured strip of card using blending brushes, 3 colours of ink, ( Melon Mambo, Mango Melody and Calypso Coral) on Shimmer Cardstock, White ink splatters, water splashes to lift some of the colour, and finally splatters of gold ink.  The Tote bag was inspired  from © Tammy Shaia, Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator, Be Creative Stamping 7/11/2022 Display Stamper Country Floral Boutique. She does have a video showing all her projects. The advantage of this project is that is uses only half a sheet of 12 X 12 DSP and 1 ½ sheets A4 Cardstock, and it fits 4 Notecards and Envelopes ASSEMBLY Makes a beautiful gift. Lovely way to use  and show off your DSP Stamp a simple set of coordinating notecards. Use the largest stitched circle and a smaller one nested inside to cut 4 a rings which will be your bag ha...

This card uses the Country Bouquet Punch and the beautiful Enjoy the Journey DSP. The background strip and one of the hearts are punched from the gorgeous starry sky sheet of DSP, and the background mat is from the reverse which is one of the mountain scene pages. Such beautiful bright colours. As a handy tip - to get the striped image for the large heart on the left I stamped 2 of the teacups siting one upright, and one upside down on top of it and then punched the heart from this stamping. You can always adapt your stamps to suit your project, and this is one way to use the heart punch if you don't have the coordinating stamp yet. I love that his card has no sentiment. These two products can be bundled together fo 10% saving. You can find them here And the gorgeous DSP is a Sale a Bration product available until 11pm Feb 28th! Please reach out if you have any questions about how it all works or about any of the products. As your Demonstrator I'm happy to help at any time.

 I recently shared some cards made using a simple layout which I find very useful. The 2 pieces - a strip of DSP and a stamped rectangle on an embossed or decorative full size mat can be used vertically or horizontally in any combination. You can find the original post and dimensions here Here's a few more samples. Instead of a sentiment strip I simply added a strip of Fine Shimmer Paper. Using a VERY old stamp set but one of my favourite first sets from Stampin' Up! I had a scrap of Fine Shimmer which wasn't the full size card base but I embossed it with the Fern Folder and I think it still works this size and is balanced. Using the small images from Country Bouquet Instead of a cardstock mat I have used DSP for the Background. This gorgeous paper is from the Enjoy the Journey DSP which is available as a Sale A Bration  FREE item with purchase.
