Welcome to the Cardz 4 Galz biweekly challenge #180. Our host this time, Claudia, chose using 3 of anything for the theme. When you are finished here, I hope you will visit the challenge site to see what the rest of the design team created. I’m looking forward to seeing our creations in our gallery.
Here’s my card:
I really went with the theme of using 3 of anything for this card. There are three DSP (designer series paper) patterns, all from the soon-to-be retiring FREE Sale-a-Bration Rings of Love DSP set. The trees DSP rectangle contains three threes, two of which are partially covered by the birds DSP pattern. In addition, there are three rectangles, three sentiments (two on the inside) and three elements from the embellishments section of the annual catalog.
Measurements:
The Night of Navy base measures 5-1/2 by 8-1/2 inches, scored at 4-1/4 inches.
The DSP splatter pattern measures 4-1/8 by 5-3/8 inches.
Next, I trimmed a piece of the trees DSP pattern to 5-1/8 by 2-7/8 inches.
Then, I trimmed a piece of the birds DSP to 2-1/2 by 4-3/8 inches and added dimensionals underneath it.
I also trimmed a piece of the birds DSP to 6 inches by 2-1/2 inches for the envelope flap.
The white cardstock for the inside measures 4 inches by 5-1.4 inches.
Finally, I punched a 1 inch circle from the trees DSP for the envelope seal.
What I Did:
First, I used multipurpose liquid glue to adhere the splatter and trees DSP to the front of the card.
Then, I stamped the front sentiment, which comes from the Hello Ladybug stamp set, in Soft suede on a piece of scrap white cardstock. I cropped it using a Tailor Made Tags die and trimmed it down.
Next, I wrapped a piece of Mint Macaron ribbon around the birds DSP and pushed it through the hole in the tag. After tying it in a knot, I added a piece of braided linen thread to it and tied it in another note.
I popped the tag up on dimensionals and adhered it to the DSP. Then, I added the DSP to the front of the card.
The last step for the front was to add a Crushed Curry dot to the tag.
I stamped both sentiments for the inside using Soft Suede ink and two sentiments from the Peaceful Moments stamp set. I adhered it to the inside of the card using multipurpose liquid glue.
With that, I’d finished this coordinated card, envelope, and envelope seal set.

Welcome to the latest Cardz 4 Guyz two-week challenge! Our host, Jolanda, chose Get a Little Grungy for the theme. When you finish here, I hope you will visit the challenge site to see the cards from the rest of the design team. I’d love to see you play along and join the gallery!
Here’s my card, for which I used the Rings of Love DSP:
This whole pack of DSP (designer series paper) is stunning! It can be earned FREE with a qualifying $50 purchase during Sale-a-Bration, which runs through the end of the month. At first, I really didn’t think I’d get it. However, as soon as I saw cards created with these prints, I knew I had to have it! Just look at the colors and prints in this paper:
Measurements and Such:
This card came together so quickly and, I think, it falls under the easy-peasy category.
The Night of Navy base measures 5-1/2 by 8-1/2 inches, scored at 4-1/4 inches.
The tree pattern DSP measures 4-1/8 by 5-3/8 inches.
Using the Deckled Rectangle dies, I cropped a piece of Night of Navy and DSP with the second and third largest dies.
I also trimmed a piece of the bird pattern DSP to 6 by 2-1/2 inches for the envelope flap. Then, I punched a 1 inch circle from the trees DSP pattern for the envelope seal.
The white inside panel is trimmed to 4 by 5-1/4 inches. I cropped the sentiment panel from a scrap of white cardstock., I stamped the sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set in Night of Navy. Then, I cropped it using one of the deckled rectangle dies.
Distressed Look:
I specifically used the deckled rectangle dies because 1.) I love them, and 2.) they would fit the theme of distressing.
In addition, I outlined all of the pieces on the front of the card using my Stamping Write Markers. I tried not to be careful so that the markers would wind up adding some distress to each piece. I used Soft Suede for the trees DSP. Then, I used Night of Navy for both the cardstock mat and the sentiment panel. Finally, I distressed the birds DSP using Crushed Curry.
Next, I adhered the trees DSP to the base and the birds DSP to the Night of Navy mat.
Then, I cut three lengths of linen thread and wrapped them around the Night of Navy mat and tied them in a square knot. Since the thread is thin, I was able to use multipurpose liquid glue to adhere it to the trees DSP. I purposely adhered that panel just a bit off-center.
I added mini-dimensionals to the back of the sentiment panel and adhered it to the card.
The three yellow dots were added to cover an “oops” on the sentiment panel. I didn’t notice the oops until I tried to take a picture, but I wound up with a smudge of blue ink on the sentiment.
Finally, I stamped the inside panel with another sentiment from Peaceful Moments: You shouldn’t have, but I am glad you did. I’ve learned the hard way that I need to stamp the sentiment before attaching the inside panel to the base of the card.
With that, I’d completed this coordinated card, envelope, and envelope seal set.

Welcome to the latest Cardz 4 Guyz challenge! Billie A. chose the theme of recycling something for this challenge. In addition, today is the day of the monthly Pals’ Fun Fold Blog Hop! As you know, I love fun folds! For this card, I took my inspiration, and template, from Jackie Beer’s card for the June Fun Fold Blog Hop! I enjoyed her card and directions, so I recreated it with my recycled background for the front flap and one of the much loved gnomes.
Here’s my card:
Here’s the link to Jackie Beer’s card and template on her Blue Line Stamping blog:
The white cardstock on the inside measures 4-1/8 by 5-3/8 inches.
I trimmed a piece of the Sale-a-Bration DSP (designer series paper), which can be earned for FREE with a $50 purchase, This DSP pattern of trees comes from the Rings of Love DSP, coordinates with the Rings of Nature bundle in the current mini-catalog for July – December. This DSP is gorgeous! Honestly, I didn’t originally think I’d get it. However, after seeing cards with these beautiful patterns, I completely changed my mind.
I also trimmed a piece of this DSP to 6 inches by 2-1/2 inches for the envelope flap.
Recycled Cover:
I’ve had this piece of watercolor paper for about a year just waiting for the time to use it. I created this with shaving cream, Night of Navy, and Crumb Cake reinkers. That’s it.
Here’s a picture of the start of this technique, but with Poppy Parade, Crushed Curry, and Mint Macaron. These colors come from the Rings of Love DSP. I spread out some shaving cream on a length of parchment paper.
HINT: In this case, less is more. I really should’ve used less shaving cream and less ink. However, you get the point. It’s messy, but simple. Just remember, you have to use watercolor paper. Regular cardstock will roll up.
Kindest Gnomes:
I go back to work on 08/01 after being off for the summer. Therefore, I wanted to make a card to mail for my husband to get either Monday or Tuesday when I am not home.
The sentiment on the front comes from the Kindest Gnomes stamp set. I paired it with this gnome. I stamped both the sentiment and the gnome using Momento Tuxedo Black ink.
Then, I cropped the sentiment and Crumb Cake mat using the deckled rectangle dies.
Then, I colored the gnome using my blends in the Smoky Slate combo, the light Crumb Cake, and the Night of Navy combo. I used my black marker and So Saffron marker as well.
Then, I popped this guy up on dimensionals, and added him to the side of the sentiment panel.
The sentiment on the inside comes from the Happy & Heartfelt stamp set for the inside.
I didn’t want a piece of white cardstock showing when the card is folded closed. Therefore, I very carefully trimmed a piece of the recycled watercolor paper to 4-1/8 by 3/4 inches and adhered it to the white inside panel.
After trimming the envelope flap and punching the envelope seal, I’d finished this coordinated card, envelope, and envelope seal.
