Gift Wrapped card

 

I recently participated in a card swap using products from the new Stampin' Up! August-December 2020 mini catalogue. All the products that I'd bought from this catalogue were actually Christmas themed but with a bit of imagination I was able to create this card which could be used for any occasion.

I took a piece of Purple Posy cardstock  (half A4 cut lengthways) and scored at 148mm to create a landscape card base. I attached a piece of Blackberry Bliss DSP measuring 148x30mm to the bottom part of the card.

Next I matted a rectangle of Whisper White card onto a piece of Blackberry Bliss, and stamped the background pattern and sentiment. I adhered this centrally on the front of the card.

To create the parcel I stamped the stripey pattern from the Festive Post stamp set in Bermuda Bay ink and punched it out with the rectangular postage punch. The bow was stamped in Blackberry Bliss and punched out with the new Gift Wrapped stamp set and punch.

To finish it off I adhered the parcel to the front of the card using dimensionals and added a bit of bling to the centre of the bow.

Butterfly postage stamp card

This card was inspired by a piece of butterfly patterned paper that I've had in my stash for a long time. I wasn't sure how to use it on either a card or a scrapbook layout so I took my Rectangular Postage punch and started chopping!

To cut the 'stamps' to the correct size, I first cut out the image on three sides, then I reinserted the paper into the punch to cut the fourth side out.

When I had enough images I adhered them to a piece of white cardstock.

Next I took a piece of Seaside Spray cardstock measuring 99x142mm and added a ribbon around the bottom, adhering with double sided sticky tape. I then stamped a Happy Birthday sentiment on scrap card using Crumb Cake ink and added some gems. This was adhered on top of the ribbon.

Finally I adhered the Seaside Spray cardstock onto a white card base, then added the butterfly panel using Dimensionals.

I also made one with a Terracotta Tile mat. Which colour do you prefer?
