108 cards from 1-Stampin' UP! 12 x 12 DSP package.. Happy Birthday To You! cards


108 cards.... wowzers!!  this has been a four day project..  all I had to do tonight was to finish up 5 sets of the cards that are to the right/middle and front row.

I made 12 sets from each of the pattern designs.. then with the leftovers.. I made 6 cards for each of the pattern designs.

Here are the details:

I used Stampin' UP! The Open Sea stamp set and Natutical Expedition DSP, you could use really any set/paper that you have.

Measurements for cards on back row and left/middle and front:

card base:  4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
solid layer: 4 x 5 1/4"
pattern layer:  3 7/8" x 5 1/8"
 
NOTE:  Someone asked about the DSP cuts..  I cut the 5 1/8" x 12" piece.. then another of them.. that left me a 1 3/4" x 12" piece left.. that I used on the other cards.. then I cut the 5 1/8" x 12" pieces into 3 7/8" x 5 1/8" pieces.  You will get 6 useable toppers of the pattern paper from each 12" x 12" sheet.

stamped main layer:
white: 3 1/4" x 4
solid: 3 3/8" x 4 1/8"

sentiment:
white: 1" x 3 1/2" 
solid: 1 1/8" x 3 5/8

Measurements for cards that are right/middle and front row:

card base:  4 1/4" x 5 1/2" 
strip pattern:  1 3/4" x 4"
strip solid:  1 7/8" x 4 1/8"

sentiment:
white: 1" x 3 1/2"
solid: 1 1/8" x 3 5/8"

The ships are stamped and punched out using punches, then layered onto another punched out circle.



thanks for looking ~

have a great airborne day!
God Bless All Our Military.. each and every one of them

These are wonderful, Pam! I'm expecting some SU papers in the mail soon and I want to try your sketches, so much so that I tried to make them into real sketches like you mentioned on FB. I think I have your e-mail address, so I'll send them your way.

Pam, thanks for another batch of inspiration! I've been avidly following your blog since I discovered you through OWH. I love that you have great photos and give all the measurements, sketch, and deets about your cards! I've CASE'd several of them, and they have helped me fill a box of 127 to ship off to OWH. Keep it up!!

Love it! Can you help me with the DSP cuts? So it was a 12x12 to begin with? How many large pieces & how many small pieces from each sheet? Did that use it all or was there still some leftover?

Another wonderful post Pam! The cards are fantastic and the time you have spent detailing your measurements is so kind. 108 is just about the number of cards I need to fill my next box!

WOWZERS is right ! Beautiful cards. I keep telling myself to do some mass producing. These are great. Thanks for the inspiration.

JoAnn P said...

Wow! The amount of beautiful cards you turn out for each post floors me but this one tops them all.

I love this stamp set and really like how you used it. Great cards. Thanks for posting the measurements. When I CASE a card I spend more time figuring out the scale than I do actually making the cards.
