Dragonfly Garden for PP523

Happy Sunday stamping friends! 
Time for a new creative challenge over at The Paper Players
This week, Ann is hosting our monthly Color Challenge
Coincidentally, these colors are part of the beautiful Dandy Garden Designer Series Paper pack. So, of course, once I got that in my head, I HAD to use it for my card. I also used the Dragonfly Garden stamp set and coordinating Dragonflies Punch (along with a few other punches) to put the card layout together. I really like how it came out and I hope you do, too. 

*I’ve listed all of the measurements and details for my card below and there is a full supply list at the very end of this post.
One of my favorite things about this paper is the dragonfly pattern that coordinates with the punch. It makes it SO easy to get a beautifully shaded focal image in virtually no time. Easy is a good thing, right? I added some Wink of Stella to the dragonfly which adds a lot of extra sparkly detail “in person”. 

I also used the brand new Stitched With Whimsy Dies in the background. I have a feeling these are going to be my new favorites! I love, love, LOVE that playful stitched border. It’s a simple detail that really adds so much. 
Card Measurements and Details: 
  • Misty Moonlight Card Base: 4-1/4” x 11”, scored at 5-1/2” 
  • Blackberry Bliss Cardstock: 4” x 5-1/4” 
  • Basic White Cardstock: 3-7/8” x 5-1/8”, emboss using the second largest square from the Stitched With Whimsy Dies
  • Dandy Garden Designer Series Paper (dandelion pattern): 2-1/4” x 5-1/8” 
  • Blackberry Bliss Cardstock: 2-3/8” x 5-1/8” 
  • Dandy Garden Designer Series Paper (Misty Moonlight pattern): 4” x 1-1/4”, punch right side using Banner Triple Punch
  • Blackberry Bliss Cardstock: scrap to stamp sentiment in Versamark, heat emboss in white and punch out using 2” Circle Punch
  • Dandy Garden Designer Series Paper (dragonfly print): punch out one dragonfly using the Dragonflies Punch, add Wink of Stella to wings for sparkly detail
  • Whisper White Cardstock (inside card): 4” x 5-1/4” 
  • Dandy Garden Designer Series Paper (inside card): 1” x 5-1/4"
Finally a peek inside the card. I added a little strip of DSP along with some stamped images. Notice how that sentiment is popped up on a little paper strip. “Someone” stamped the sentiment inside the card crooked and that was the quick fix to salvage the cardstock. Shh, don’t tell anyone, ok?

Dragonfly Garden for Facebook Live

Hello everyone! Yesterday, I shared my Facebook Friday Live video where I made a fun Double Z-Fold Card. This card features a sneak peek of the new Dragonfly Garden Bundle, which will be available on January 5th in the Stampin’ Up!® January-June Mini Catalog. 

Please join me over on on my *Stampin’ Anne Facebook Page*, where do Live videos sharing some fun Stampin’ Up!® projects. My set time for Facebook Live is Friday at 4:00pm CST, however I have been trying to pop on more often. Be sure to “Like” and “Follow” my Facebook Page so you get the notifications. If you can’t make it Live, you can always watch the replay. Also, I’d like to invite you to join my Stampin’ Anne Facebook Group for more updates, promotions, upcoming classes and exclusive projects. Everyone is welcome!

*To check out the video for how this card was made, click here: Dragonfly Garden Fun Fold Facebook LiveI’ve also listed the measurements below!
Double Z-Fold Cards are a great way to showcase different patterns of Designer Series Paper. One of my goals for 2021 is to use MORE of my paper and this is a great card design for that. I used the Dandy Garden DSP along with the Dragonfly Garden stamp set and coordinating Dragonflies Punch for this card. (available January 5th, 2021) 

One of the things I love about this paper is that you can punch some of the printed dragonflies right out of the paper. It makes it SO easy because all of the coloring and shading is already done for you. Easy, peasy! 

Color Combo:
Here is a look at how the card is assembled. 
Please check out my Facebook Live video for more tips to assemble the card. 
Card Measurements and Details: 
  • Mossy Meadow Card Base: 4-1/4” x 11
  • On long side, score at 2-3/4” and 5-1/2” 
  • Dandy Garden Designer Series Paper (dragonfly garden pattern): 5-1/4” x 4”
  • Dandy Garden Designer Series Paper (dandelion pattern): 2-1/2” x 4” 
  • Blackberry Bliss Cardstock: 3-1/4” x 9” 
  • On ling side, score at 3” and 6” 
  • Basic White Cardstock: 2-3/4” x 3”, 2 pieces, embossed one piece using Pinewood Planks 3D Embossing Folder
  • Dandy Garden Designer Series Paper (Mossy Meadow pattern): 2-3/4” x 3”
  • Dandy Garden Designer Series Paper (dragonfly pattern): punch 3 dragonflies from paper and accent with Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush
  • Calypso Coral Cardstock: scrap to heat emboss sentiment and punch with Tailored Tag Punch
  • Artistry Blooms Sequins and Blackberry Bliss Striped Ribbon
Finally, I went ahead and created a second card using some different colored punched dragonflies and heat embossed the sentiment on a 2-1/4” x  3/4” strip of Mossy Meadow Cardstock. I also added the Gold Gilded Gems to accent the card. It’s just another look with a little bit different color mix. 

Once again, you can check out the video for these cards by clicking here: Dragonfly Garden  Fun Fold Facebook Live.
