It’s been a while since I’ve done a card layout for you. Since the new Annual Catalog is out and there are also a ton of new Online Exclusives, I wanted to give you a card layout you could use for anything. If you’re like me, you can’t wait to crack open that box of treasures and try out all your new stamps. This layout lets you do just that! That’s literally what I did here. I received my new products and created 3 cards with 3 new suites/bundles. You can make stacks of these quickly too. It’s great for assembly line card crafting.
I love the new Celebratory Sips Suite. Not only does it apply to cocktails aka adult beverages, but you can create cocktails and just plain old lemonade and iced tea. The way they created dies that look more like normal glasses you can be flexible with the audience you make these for—it’s not just for adults! The DSP is super pretty and the backgrounds can be used for so many types of cards all by themselves. The double embossing folders are great as decor for your glasses but can also be used by themselves for other things, too. Flexibility!! This suite, it’s a good one!
You’ll also want the Nested Essentials and Stylish Shapes Dies…these work so well on this layout!
Here’s what you need to know to create this card layout.
BASE: (Blackberry Bliss) 5 1/2″x8 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″
FRONT: (Timid Tiger) 5″x3 3/4″
LAYER PIECES FOR FRONT: (Celebratory Sips) Top Left is 2 1/4″x2 3/4″; Bottom Left is 2 1/4″x2″; Top Right is 1 1/4″x2″; and, Bottom Right is 1 1/4″x2 3/4″
OTHER: Die cut pies for middle, embellishments. and ribbon
I went back and forth on whether to purchase the Sunrise Sailing Bundle and I’m so glad I did. Part of the reason is that my husband loves watching YouTubers who live on the water and sail around the world. (Yes, he’s trying to convince me to do that and so far it’s a hard NO for me…we still have a lot of RVing to do!). I made this card with nautical colors – Basic White, Real Red, Night of Navy, Blueberry Bushel, Smokey Slate and Boho Blue. I stamped in Real Red, Darling Duckling, Boho Blue and Tuxedo Black. I die cut the little boat on the inside of the card with Real Red and Darling Duckling. And how cool is the Nested Essentials dies I used..I even used the Hybrid Embossing Folder on it for some extra texture. LOVE!
For this last card, I used the new 2025-2027 In-Color 6×6 DSP. There are 4 patterns for each of the 5 new shades. I stamped the card with the new Blooming Phrases Stamps. These stamps are so useful both alone and as “flowers”. The card base is Strawberry Slush and is layered with Secret Sea. I used the Strawberry Slush shade of the DSP as well. I stamped in (you guessed it) Strawberry Slush and Granny Apple Green. The ribbon and embellishments are Secret Sea to pull it all together. This card is so simple but still pretty cute!
I hope you find this layout useful. There are a million ways to design it and it also works in landscape so don’t forget to try that out as well!
Happy Crafting!
