Case It Wednesday

With all of the great options for creativity in the Mini Catalog  (January- June 2021) I have been spending a ton of time "casing" other peoples ideas using products I purchased from this new catalog.  So in order to provide you with my finds, Wednesday's blog posts will now be "Case It Wednesday"!  I will select a sample created by someone else, make the design as similar as I can to theirs, and then put my own twist on it.  

Giving credit where credit is due, I could not pass up on Patricia Dominicci's card she made last Friday using the "Fine Arts Floral" Designer Series Paper.  I used a different pattern in that packet when I made mine and created a second card using the  "Hydrangea Hill" Designer Series Paper.  

Pat called this a Puzzle Card and it was was SO simple to make!  You only need a 3-1/4" x 4-1/4" piece of designer series paper and works really well with those designed that have larger flowers or other items.  So pull out those designer series paper and go to town making this simple card.

Here is my take on the Puzzle Card using the "Fine Arts Floral" designer series paper:


Inside below, showing the "missing" puzzle piece!



This one I used the Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper and moved the sentiment on the front of the card to the bottom right side, with the missing puzzle piece underneath it on the inside of the card.  Also added some of the Pastel Pearls (which are currently unorderable, boo hoo) on the front of the card.














 Here are the dimensions for the card.  It is a top fold card but could be made as a standard card.  

Card stock for base:  4-1/4" x 11

Cardstock for matting the DSP:  3-1/2" x 4-1/2" cut into 4 equal pieces 1-3/4" x 2-1/4"

Designer Series Paper:  3-1/4" x 4-1/4" cut into 4 equal pieces 1-5/8" x 2-1/8"

Cardstock for mat and inside of card:  2 pieces 4" x 5-1/4"

I used dimensionals to raise the puzzle pieces on the front of the card.

Once again, credit is given to Patricia Dominicci, whose blog can be found at jumpingintostamping.com.  

Enjoy!

Happy Crafting
