I recently saw another demonstrator create a card with a kind of jigsaw puzzle design to it. I just loved the idea so I created a version with stamped cardstock for a recent Paper Pumpkin online class and then of course I had to make one using Designer Series Paper.
Since we’re still in the middle of summer I went with the Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper. I picked 3 different sheets and cut them all the same way. If you’re not so sure about the measurements you can use a ruler and pencil to mark the lines. I definitely found that helpful to get as close as I could to have all the pieces fit together when I mixed them all up.
I also went with this Designer Series Paper to give myself a chance to use some more of this year’s new In Colours. For the card base I used Bumble Bee and for the card mat I used Cinnamon Cider which is a colour that I have used yet. I also added some of the Faux Linen ribbon from the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon combo pack.
For the phrase I used one from the Strong & Beautiful cling stamp set which I then cut out using one of the circle dies from the Stitched Shapes dies. I also popped up the phrase using a few Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I’ve definitely been having fun creating these jigsaw puzzle type cards and will be putting something together using some of the products from the new August-December Mini catalogue that just launched this past Tuesday.
If you live in Canada and would like to get your very own copy of the new August-December Mini catalogue send me an email at inkspirationwithteresa@gmail.com. I’d be happy to send one your way and I’ll even add a card sample for you to see some of the new products in real life!
