Stampin' Up! Delightfully Eclectic Patchwork Pieces Cards

Hindsight is 20/20! As I look at photos of this card, I am realizing that I could have made it so much easier on myself if I had just added another cardstock layer! Check out my tip below for making this card a little easier!
 
Patchwork Pieces is a new standalone die set from the 2023-2024 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog. "Standalone" just refers to the fact that it is not available as a bundle with a coordinating stamp set. You'll find it in the back of the catalog on page 165 with other dies.
 
I used two patterns from the Delightfully Eclectic Designer Paper Pack (on sale in June!) and embossed cardstock to create these Patchwork cards -- embellished with the Layering with Leaves images and greetings.

Watch the replay of Thursday Night Stamp Therapy to see me create the same card using a different paper pack! In the video, I layer the die cut pieces on to a piece of Basic White that is a little bigger than the die cut piece. When I do it again, I would use a piece of cardstock that is the same size as the die cut so that I could go right to the corner and keep things straight -- and then layer THAT piece on to another background layer.

VIDEO: Stampin' Up! Bright & Beautiful Diagonal Panel Card Tutorial

We were lucky to have Stampin' Up! DDM (Demonstrator Development Manager) Shannon West join our team meeting on Zoom in April. I was inspired by Shannon's message of sharing our love of cardmaking with others to spread joy and make a difference. I was also so inspired by Shannon's demonstration of this fun fold card! I couldn't wait to try it out this Diagonal Panel Card! I love that you can get two cards from one sheet of cardstock!

I created this Bright & Beautiful version for a recent episode of Sunday Stamping with Susan & Julie. Mom and I shared project ideas using the new Beautiful Balloons Bundle -- which is perfect for birthdays, but also any celebration!

Here are the cards that I created during the live video. Which one is more your stamping style? Leave a comment and let me know! I chose to make cards using designer paper that I hadn't used yet! 

The first card uses Les Shoppes Designer Paper. Since I don't have the coordinating stamp set and dies, I relied on imagery from the designer paper for my focal point. I CASEd (Copy And Selectively Edit-ed) a project from the catalog (page ). Since I didn't have the bundle, I substituted a sentiment from the Happy Labels stamp set and used a plant cut from the paper instead of the die cut bench. I also changed the embellishments a little. I love the way it turned out and can't wait to create more with this suite!

The next card was inspired by a swap card that I recieved from Barb Mullikin. I shared her card in the video, so be sure to watch for it! Barb used the Countryside Inn Designer Paper and Cheerful Daisies bundle. I used the same layout, but substitute Let's Go Fishing Designer Paper to create this Father's Day card. Who would you send this card to?

The last card was inspired by a fun fold swap that I recieved from Connie Stewart while I was on the Million Sales Retreat back in March. (Disclaimer: Fewer than .001% of Stampin' Up! demonstrators achieve this result.) See all of the Million Sales Achiever Fun Fold Swaps

I used the same Z Fold layout with an extra card flap to create this card with the new Stargazing Designer Paper and coordinating Reach fo the Stars bundle. I love these colors together: Orchid Oasis and Lemon Lime Twist.
