Mail-a-Card Monday & March Suite Samplings #2

Yes, another week has gone by and it's Mail-a-Card Monday again. How many did you mail out? I've got a couple in the box. One is a get well card, and one is for my Mom. I'll share pics of those a little later. Today I wanted to share some more projects using the Suite Samplings for March. You can check out this post to see what's in this month's kit. 

What do you think of my cards? Here are 4 (actually 5) more ideas using the Suite Samplings. Since these cards are pretty straight forward, I will simply give you the measurements I used for the papers.

This first card showcases another one of the prints I wasn't immediately drawn to, but I love how it became the focal piece for the card. You could switch out the sentiment for just about anything. For this one you need:

Card base--5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored in the middle
DSP--4 3/4 x 1
          4 3/4 x 2
          4 3/4 x 1/2
Banner piece--5/8 x 2 1/4

This is a fun design to showcase the DSP. For this one you need:

Card Base--8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored in the middle
Cardstock of choice--3 1/4 x 4 1/4
DSP--3 x 1 (4 different prints)
Daisy punched from color of choice

This card showcases the beautiful stamp set and bits and pieces of paper. The stamping was done on one of the tags that I include as a bonus in the kit. Measurements for this one are:

Card base--5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored in the middle
Tag--4 x 2 (included in Suite Sampler kit)
DSP--4 x 1
Cardstock of choice (for sentiment)--1/2 x 2

This card has a lot of layers, and it is done slightly differently than most. Normally, you would think the card base for this is the largest Night of Navy layer, but that would make it difficult to write anything in the card, so instead, it is actually the Daffodil Delight layer.

This one I will list the size from back to front of the card.

Night of Navy--5 1/2 x 4 1/4
Daffodil Delight--5 1/4 x 8
Night of Navy--5 x 3 3/4
Top DSP--3 3/4 x 3 3/4
Bottom DSP--1 1/4 x 3 3/4
Sentiment banner--1 x 3 1/2

You may of noticed project #5 in the photos, my cute little jar of daisies. I used this tutorial to make my daisies, and then just covered a jar with a piece of DSP. I may decide later to decorate the jar a little more, but I wanted it to be neutral so I could use it as a back drop for my card photos and such. I filled the jar with a little bit of our Ready Shreddie. This helps disguise the ends of the wires a bit and helps the flowers stay where I wanted them. I happened to have some baby's breath left from the Valentine's bouquet my handsome hubby bought me, so that was added to fill it in a bit. I found it easier to put the baby's breath in first, and then add the flowers.

I hope you like my projects. Remember today (March 5, 2018) is the last day to reserve your Suite Samplings kit. I will be putting in the orders tomorrow morning and getting them out to you as quickly as I can. I still have at least one more project to share with you using this kit. I hope to be back tomorrow with that.

Shipping Notes:

I took my kit over to the Post Office and worked with the awesome ladies there to find the best and most economical way to ship these kits out to you. I will be able to send them out in a Priority Flat Rate padded envelope for $7.25. So, just to make it a nice round number I will add on $5 for shipping which will make your total $25.

This is only available in the US. You need to email me to order. I will send an invoice and payment will be to me, in advance of the order being placed and sent out.

Deadline for ordering is Monday, March 5th. I will place the order early the following morning and hope to have the packages ready to ship out to you by March 16th (delivery from Stampin' Up! permitting).

Hostess Code Bonus: Please use this month's Hostess Code when you place an order. It will allow me to pick up some goodies to share with you when I send out your Thank You gift at the end of the month. (If you check the "Do No Contact" button when you order, I cannot legally contact you in any way, which means I cannot send you a Thank You gift or any extra goodies. :o(  )

Till next time...
God's love and blessings!
