These cards were created using one (1) sheet of 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper.

The card base is white cardstock cut to 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ with a left side fold. The multiple cardstock layers of white, blue, white, then the designer series paper, give the card the creative interest. Creating this type of card works best with a very pretty repeating patterned paper such as the one shown. Although the cards are identically made by cutting the 12 x 12 paper into 3 x 3 squares, because the birds and foliage each have different positioning within each 3 x 3 cut, each card appears to be subtly different.

This design was inspired by Lynn Dunn, Stamptastic Designs, YouTube Video: https://youtu.be/br5AIrgaQVs?si=GeY0dtbXP0wU9a7P, Quick Cards to Make with ANY 12 x 12 inch Patterned Papers.

These Gift Bags are made from 12″ x 12″ Stampin Up! Designer Series Paper with a finished size of 8″ x 8″ x 2″ deep.

The bags were cased from Sara Douglass’ video https://www.facebook.com/asarathing/videos/1141136777077095. The only differences from Sara’s video are that I used Yarn which is punched through the bag then tied inside the bag to create the handles rather than using ribbon; and, in the case where the pattern on the opposite side was not complimentary to the pattern on the other side, I used coordinating cardstock to create the top border.

This card is an especially nice birthday card suitable for anyone on your birthday list. My own design, this card uses the standard card base of 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ scored at 4-1/4″ with a left side fold.

A multi-layered design is used to create depth and interest while enhancing the birthday greeting focal point. The interesting “stitched” look of all the dies used provides a subtle quilted sewn look.
