More Stampin’ Up! Perfect Pennants Sneak Peeks

Stampin up pretty mary fish order perfect pennants framelits dies big shot die cutting machine card ideaFor those of you who follow me on my Stampin’ Pretty Facebook Page, I’m back from Los Angeles after one of the best family holidays ever!  I hope you enjoyed my week of Stampin’ with the Stars (there’s one more “star” tomorrow–love HIS project), showcasing the work of my Stampin’ Pretty Pals Community (while “the cat” was away on a much needed vacation).

Mojo326Sketch
Today’s project was inspired by this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge (MOJO326).  I chose “square” for my 5 x 5 card!  What will you choose?

STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:

  • SNEAK PEEK!  I used both the Stampin’ Up! Perfect Pennants stamp set and new coordinating Banners Framelits Dies to create the sentiment pennant!  Both are available in the Stampin’ Up! Occasions Catalog starting Jan. 3!

  • SNEAK PEEK!  You are also getting a chance to witness an early look at very hip pattern from the the Fresh Prints Designer Series Paper Stack (also Occasions Catalog).
  • SNEAK PEEK!  A button from Basic Metal Buttons (Occasions Catalog) brings the star to life.  A cross stitch of Whisper White Baker’s Twine gives it polish!

  • MEASUREMENTS:  The card base is 5″ square.  The two layers on top of the base are sized down 1/4″ each (4 3/4″ and 4 1/2″ square).  The patterned paper measures 4 1/2″ x 3 1/2″.  The Real Red Cardstock measures 4 1/2″ x a smidge over 1″ and is tucked under the patterned piece.  The Coastal Cabana Cardstock measures 4 1/4″ x 1 3/4″.
  • I used Crumb Cake Cardstock and the Stampin’ Up! Envelope Punch Board to create the perfectly sized envelope for the 5 x 5 card.  Need a refresher on how to create a custom envelope liner using minimal patterned paper?  Here’s my video tutorial!  See my complete Tutorial Library.

  4. The trendy new designer paper patterns can be very powerful. I suggest countering that with either a lot of Whisper White (Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake) or combining them with a solid color (as I did with Real Red) for a balancing effect.

  5. I love everything about this card. It’s bright and cheerful. The star is especially my favorite. Thanks for sharing. Happy New Year to you and your family.

  6. Mary, this is a great card! I was waiting until either you, Brian or Justin came up with using this dizzy paper from the paper stack. You took an “eye crossing” design and made it shine brightly! Love it! Thanks for sharing and the video. You rock! Happy New Year and best wishes for continued success!

  7. Hi Tory: Thank you for your kind comments and being a follower of my blog! Frankly, other than the card base size (which I share if it’s something OTHER than 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″), I rarely measure individual pieces. Most layers are 1/4″ smaller than the one below. TIP: Take a look at the card as a whole and think proportions and you should be able to estimate fairly well. I haven’t mailed this card yet and added the measurements to the post. M

  8. Love your blog. Been following it for about 3 years. It there any chance you could include measurements on some of the more layered cards like this one. I don’t have a lot of time creating since I am a caregiver and my own health issues. I would be very grateful for any help.
    Hope your new year is filled with God’s finest gifts for you and your family.
    Blessings.
