Layout of the Month - May 2022

Last night was my Mystery Monday and introduction of the May Layout of the Month.  Let's get to it!

This month's theme was "Bundle Up for Summer" since I wanted to use a bundle that reminded me of summer but I'm also getting really tired of the APRIL AND MAY SNOW that is happening in Idaho.  

Supplies to Gather:

Stamps:

  • Stamp set & either Punch or Die that coordinate with the image (not the sentiment). 

Cardstock:

  • Card base (any color): 8 ½ x 5 ½ - scored at 4 ¼ 
  • White or Vanilla cardstock: 2 ¾ x 4
  • White or Vanilla cardstock: scrap for stamping and punching based on stamp set
  • Coordinating cardstock: scrap for stamping and punching based on stamp set
  • DSP: two pieces (same or different patterns) – 3 x 2

Inks: 

  • 2 colors to coordinate with your chosen stamp set and DSP

Accessories: 

  • Punch or Cut & Emboss with Dies
  • Dimensionals
  • Adhesive of Choice
  • Embellishment of Choice 

Instructions:

  1. Stamp on your coordinating cardstock and punch/die cut image(s)
  2. Stamp on your white/vanilla scrap & punch/die cut your image(s).
  3. Stamp an image on your 2 ¾ x 4 piece of White or Vanilla.
  4. Attach two pieces of DSP to the card base with adhesive.
  5. Add the stamped white panel to the card using adhesive.
  6. Add your punched image with dimensionals
  7. Add your embellishments if desired.
  8. Stamp sentiment on the inside. 

Here are the samples that I designed off these measurements and instructions.


These cards use the following BRAND NEW PRODUCTS from the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog.

Adhesive of Choice

My customers also followed along to make their cards and ended up with these fun bundle cards.  Please know that Mystery Monday has you raiding your own stash so these products are not all Stampin' Up! or currently available for purchase.
