delightfully eclectic Archives - Inkspiration Cards

This year for my ScrapFest Make & Take I’m using a very themed stamp set… Crafting with You. If you’ve seen the stamp set and dies then you’ll know why I couldn’t resist. I mean just the paper trimmer and emboss machine that’s part of this set make it a great addition to any paper crafter’s craft stash!

I’m pairing it with the Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper pack that’ll soon be retired. It’s nice and colourful! And I cut up a couple of different designs to give some options with this fun fold card. I wanted to do something a bit different, but still easy enough to copy from the sample. And because I have a couple of different designs of patterned paper, I’m using a nice neutral card base; Smoky Slate. Plus this is the perfect colour for the paper trimmer and scissors I die cut in advance.

To make the base, you’ll start with a standard 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ card base. I highly recommend that you score it in half (at 4 1/4″) before you diagonally cut half of the front of the card base off. It definitely makes it easier! Then I added another piece of Smoky Slate cardstock which I folded in half and added some Basic White to the inside and outside.

From here I simply stamped a sentiment and an emboss machine of the outside piece of Basic White cardstock using Smoky Slate ink. Then to pull a little colour from the DSP, I stamped a few little hearts with Fresh Freesia ink. Next I added a die cut paper trimmer. And to finish it off a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels for some bling.

I hope that everyone at ScrapFest enjoys crafting with Crafting with You as much as I have been! I’m so glad to see that it’s sticking around for a while longer.

Sadly the Delightfully Eclectic DSP pack is not. Check out a masculine themed card I made with this great pack of patterned paper here.

And don’t forget the last chance sale is only for a little while longer!

This week I’m sharing a project using a few different retiring products. Sadly, the He’s All That stamp set and dies are retiring. And so is the Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper pack. Now you may not immediately think of using this pack of patterned paper for a masculine themed card. But there are a couple of designs in this pack of DSP that do work well.

So that’s where I started for this card design… with the patterned paper design. Once I had that I chose my colour combo, which in this case is pretty simple because they’re all neutral colours. My card base is Gray Granite. And then I layered a couple pieces of the black and white DSP on top using some Stampin’ Dimensionals. To make these two pieces, I started with a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of the DSP. Then I lined up one corner at the 2″ mark and cut across on a diagonal to about the 1.4″ mark. To get the other piece I just flipped it around and repeated the same thing.

Behind the pieces of the Delightfully Eclectic DSP, I stamped one of the images from the Season of Chic stamp set in Gray Granite ink. Then I stamped a sentiment from the He’s All That stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento ink and die cut it with one of the coordinating dies. And I layered this on top of the bottom piece of DSP.

I’m hoping to do a couple more projects with the Delightfully Eclectic DSP before it retires. But in the meantime, check out another project I made using He’s All That here.

As I write this, the He’s All That stamps and dies and the Delightfully Eclectic DSP are still available. You have until April 30, or maybe sooner, to get these before they’re gone. Don’t wait!
