All Occasion Stack Class - Double sided DP

Another very versatile sketch. I used Stampin Up! double sided designer paper. Selected my card stock to match the paper. Trimmed the DP to be just a bit smaller than the card. Then cut the DP piece and turned over the smaller piece and just butted it against the other. Glued these down to the card. Placed coordinated colored gross grain ribbon over the joint and glued it to the inside of the card front. With the tall version you will need to place a small slit in the fold to bring the ribbon to the inside. I punched a small daisy shape from the DP cut off and placed it in the centre of the flower and a brad holds the flower onto the card front. I ensured that the flower on the brown card was ivory as in the DP and white on the blue card. With no greeting these cards can be used for any occasion.

All Occasion Stack Class - Little Birdie

Aren't these cute? I started with a post it pad in a bird shape I bought at a local craft store. Blue and Cranberry.
I selected a white card because the branch and the wing were white. I selected Designer Paper to coordinate with the bird color, trimmed it and glued it to the card. I added the beak shape with a white gel marker. Adding glue to the bird was a bit challenging because the post it glue resisted. I had to rub the post it back against fabric to dull it some, then I could add glue stick and then positioned it on the DP. I then glued the small branch below the bird with some leaves coming over the bird. I cut the wing with my Cricut, "Create a Critter" cartridge. It took several test tries to determine what size I needed. I then embossed the wing with the SU! Finial Press folder. Glued the wing on the bird keeping the sweep of wing in line with sweep of the bird body. I added white mini brad for the eye. I color printed greetings, punched them with the SU! horizontal slot punch and glued them to the top right hand corner. The greeting can easily omitted.

All Occasion Stack Class - Foliage Trio

I love this card template. I used it recently on these cards. I used 4 different card stock colors in this kit. Printed the greetings and the foliage dingbats in the same color on white card stock. I punched the colored circles with the SU! 1 3/8" circle punch. The foliage images were punched with the 1.25" circle punch. I then trimmed the white greeting into the rectangle and adhered to the card front. Layered the foliage onto the colored circles. The easiest way to space your circles is to place the right and left ones at the same distance from the outside edges. Then place the last one evenly spaced between those two. I've started developing a variety of greetings in this style. They cover birthday, baby, sympathy, illness, and a lot more!

All Occasion Stack Class - Robin Egg Blue Flowers

Here's the cards from my All Occasion Stack Class.
I started with Paula Dean blue flower punched and embossed shapes. I created the scallop from a MDS digital stamp and made it the right blue for the flowers.
Top card: I selected DP to match the blue then I selected red card stock to coordinate. I embossed a strip of pearl paper 1.5 x 5.25 with a dot embossing folder (SU! Perfect Polka Dots). I trimmed the DP to leave a space between the DP and the pearl. I added a red greeting to the digital stamp, printed it and punched it out. I selected red sequins and mounted the flowers with a sequin in the centre on a tiny white brad.

Bottom card: I selected DP to match the blue then I selected blue card stock to coordinate. I embossed a strip of pearl paper 1.5 x 5.25 with a dot embossing folder (Swiss Dots). I trimmed the DP to leave a space between the DP and the pearl. I added a brown greeting to the digital stamp, printed it and punched it out. I selected bronze sequins and mounted the flowers with it in the centre on a tiny white brad.
