Sunny Days – Song Sparrow Papercrafts

Today we’re continuing our tour of some Sale-a-Bration freebies. This week’s featured products are designer series paper packs. Did you know that Stampin’ Up! currently offers 7 different paper packs as Sale-a-Bration freebies? For the remainder of February, you can qualify for a FREE Sale-a-Bration credit with every $50 USD you spend. How cool is that?!

Today I’m bringing you a fun and funky design to show off the Sunny Days designer paper. This 12×12 paper pack includes a total of 12 cheerful designs across the 2-sided pages.

This card design is a modified Z-fold to allow for the greatest opportunity for a variety of paper patterns. The front-facing panels offer a simple and cheerful HELLO, while the full spread offers the complete message.

We start with a base of Pool Party cardstock and score in the center. To complete the Z-panel, the front panel is scored again at 2 1/2-inches. The front-facing panels are a combination of Softly Stippled and Sunny Days designer paper designs. The sentiment from the Sale-a-Bration set called Heartfelt Hellos is stamped on white cardstock and punched with the coordinating hexagon punch, along with the Real Red mats behind. The rainbow is constructed using circles diecut from cardstock using the Everyday Essentials dies and then cut in half with the paper trimmer.

Once the card is fully opened, the inside sentiment panel holds an adorable scene of two friends gazing at the rainbow. These cuties, along with the trees, are fussy cut from the Zoo Crew designer paper. The cloud is diecut from the Sunny Days paper using the coordinating Bright Skies die, while the sun is diecut from Crushed Curry. The sentiment is from the Bright Skies stamp set.

This week, we’re diving into the FREE designer series paper packs that are available through the Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-Bration (SAB) catalog. Did you know that you earn 1 SAB credit for every $50 USD you spend on SU! products? And you instantly cash in your credits on the same order that you qualify for them!

For today’s bonus Luv 2 Stamp Group Artisan Crafter design post, we’re looking at the Sunny Days designer series paper. I really love the variety that this pack of paper has to offer. Not only does it pair beautifully with the Bright Skies stamps and dies, but it also lends itself to a whole host of different product pairings. For this card, we’re working with the Bold Bouquet bundle and Thoughtful Expressions dies.

I wanted to spotlight both sides of the beautiful sheet of Sunny Days paper, so I chose to use the DSP Center Folding Door fold, as I like to call it, that I learned from fellow demo Jackie Bolhuis. This fold uses a third-sheet of 12×12 paper.

Here, we start with a quarter-sheet base of Pool Party cardstock. The sheet of Sunny Days cardstock is scored evenly from both outside edges. A corner is cut from the top of each side of the patterned paper and then adhered to the bottom corners with the opposing pattern facing up before all score marks are folded. For the overlapping front panel, I chose the decorative shapes from Nested Essentials and diecut nesting shapes from vellum and white cardstock. I selected roses from the Bold Bouquet stamp and die set which are stamped on Real Red cardstock and then diecut. The leaves are all diecut from Shaded Spruce using the Thoughtful Expressions dies. And for a bit of sparkle, I also diecut a flower from More Dazzled designer paper using Nested Essentials. I added some Petal Pink foiled gems for a subtle pop of gold across the card front.
