 Okay, you're good. Hello. Hi everyone. Welcome to Stampin' Chat with Stampin' Jill and Aubrey. We are today, I'm really excited about this live today. We aren't focusing on one specific product, but Beth challenged us to use a layout, a design of a card and to just make some cards up using that design with different paper, different stamp sets, just whatever. So it's one, well actually there's a card all the way around. So this is just like the card front of it. Right. So starting with a five and a quarter by four piece, that's the black piece on the back. And then there's, this is cut four to three and a half and then cut on a diagonal. And that's maybe like DSP, something contrasting. And then you have a two by three and a half piece. And then another piece of DSP possibly, four and a quarter by one half and then a two and a quarter inch circle in the center. Or I kind of took the liberty of just making that like an element or some sort of design in the center. And then a sentiment down here, or you could do your sentiment in the circle too. But yeah, we kind of took that layout and we've been playing a little bit this morning and we'll just kind of show you what we are doing. Right. Yeah. And we talked about possibly giving you a challenge to make your own and share with us what you're doing. Well Jill's starting on hers. I'll show you this is one that I already finished with the, what is this, bold, bright, bold and beautiful, bold, bright and beautiful. Do you remember? No, not beautiful. Mary and bright. Mary, bold and bright. I'm getting it confused because I'm also using the beautiful balloons and the paper in that is called bold and beautiful or something like that. Anyway, all these beautiful words. So this is the first one that I finished with that layout. It's super cute. And Jill's focusing, are you mostly focusing on Christmas-y? Yes, I'm doing, actually I've got a masculine winter card and two Christmas cards. So just doing those as the same layout then talked about this. And Aubrey's going to show you how to cut the diagonal piece on that I'm just putting on right now. Yes. So diagonal piece. I have, this is kind of what my card's going to look like. I use the Gone Fishing Paper DSP. I think that's what it's called. Something like that from that suite in the annual catalog. And I wanted to just show you how to cut this piece on a diagonal. So this is cut to four and four by three and a half. And we want to cut this on a diagonal. So this side is two and a quarter. So what I do is I just line up my, let's see, I want to do it this way. I, this way. I line up the bottom edge of this. So this is my diagonal is going to go this way. Okay. So I line up the bottom edge of this and then I find, let's see, no, I do want it to go this way. Sorry. That's okay. So this is going to be the three and a half side, the bottom edge here. And then I'm going to line this up to two and two quarter, two and a quarter on this line here. And then once I cut, that's going to be on the diagonal. And then you'll have, so this side will be three and a half and this will be two and a quarter. So you just want to make sure to line it up on that line and then come here. And really, if you, if you just kind of set your paper there, it really, it doesn't have to be a perfect science. But that's, if you want a perfect measurement, that's how you'll do that. Okay. This one I thought I'm going to do kind of simple and I'm going to use the throughout the year stamp set. I love this stamp set. It has tons of really great sayings in it. It has kind of some basic ones. Happiest of birthdays. Thank you. You mean so much to me. And then it has all these different holiday ones. So happy Easter, happy holidays. Cheers to you and the new year best of luck and trick or treat. I think I might use this. You mean so much to me. I think that's really cute. And I'm just going to stamp that on a circle that I have punched out and then put my card together. Jill, what are you doing? I'm just doing the circle on this. I'm making this my focal point of the card. And I just use our designer series paper to pick up the colors of what I'm going to do. So I kind of like that that you can, you know, you don't have to reinvent the wheel kind of a thing. Yeah, just kind of use whatever's in the paper. Right. Yeah, that's one of the nice things about stamping ups designer series paper is that it you can pull their colors all out from it. Right. So it all coordinates and So it works good. Favorite things about them. So what what do you remember what this paper is called? That's that new online. It's um, yes. That's Shining Christmas. Shining Christmas, which we're not orderable today. Oh, no, guys, darn. So if you've got your hands on it and I'm using Christmas classics with it, I think it coordinates really good because of the holly and berries that they showing right there. So so just a cute card. Yeah, there's one really cute. I love it with that champagne dazzle paper too. I know. Of course, I call that my disco paper. Yeah, it's like a disco ball. Yeah. And then I've got this one here, which is really nice too. So I did not cut the one piece, the diagonal piece, because I felt like this one piece had that shape in it. So I went ahead and just did it with one sheet on that just to it gives the illusion of a second piece already. Oh, yeah. So this is the dark and the light so I would like the diagonal right. Just showing you, you know, if you have a piece already there, then it works. Yeah. And I love how this texture, the folder, the paint texture works with this particular paper, because it looks like, you know, the site of a building or something. Yeah, so that's kind of cool. This nativity Bethlehem set is one of Jill's very favorite Christmas sets. Yeah. And I'm working on my Christmas card right now, what I'm doing. And so I'm going to be using this suite. Not quite sure what pieces in the suite I'll be using, but that's the one I'd like to do this year. Yeah. That's a fun one. And I don't think I'm going to be using red, which is really weird. I know. That's like your signature color. Yeah. So, oh, that's cute. We already got in the highest. Oh, and you use the other, the golds. Right. I use the gold on this one because sometimes we use just one color and it's like nice to have to use both colors. Yeah. Okay, there's my, this one's kind of my very simple one, that layout, kind of, kind of fun, super easy, really, really fun card. Okay. My next one I'm going to use, like I was saying earlier, oh, there's Jill's so pretty. See the texture in that folder right there. I love that. So, so far, there's this one. You got that shiny paper and this one. I can't see. Yes. Let's see. Wendy said this is such a versatile layout. It really is. It's like, you can use it with pretty much anything. You just have a focal point and I love the diagonal. And this is my masculine card, which I think you could use this paper as a masculine paper so much. I mean, just by itself. Yeah. But so I'm just doing. All right. On my next one, this is the paper I'm using that's bold and beautiful and the beautiful balloons set. And I cut out the cute little set of three balloons out of the dice already. So then that's going to be my focal point. So we'll kind of build it from there and see where this goes. It's kind of cool how we've, you know, some of yours on the solids are on the bottom and some of my solids are on the top. So, you know, there's no rhyme or reason, or you have to do it just this way. Right. So yeah. So yeah, I like how you did this one with the DSP. Right. That way. Well, and I figured, you know, you could get with this contrast, I was going to use a lighter color, but I kind of like the deep color because it brings out the darker images in the designer series paper. Yeah, especially on a masculine card. Yes. Jill, Mary really loves blue for Christmas. How do you feel about blue for Christmas? Oh, I love blue. I've used Night of Navy and yeah, I do love blue. So I know every color could be a Christmas color. And this misty, this misty moonlight, I mean, I've used it for snowflakes and, but this misty moonlight is so pretty. I love misty moonlight. I've just added a little blue here to the grays. So just as a contrast, I think sometimes we get so matchy, matchy sometimes that we just forget that, oh, that would also look good. Yeah. But the contrast color. Yeah. And sometimes it's like you're too afraid to use a contrast color. Yeah, I don't know. What do you think, Aubrey? I think that's true. I think sometimes we forget to think outside the box a little bit. All right. Okay, Beth is telling me that we are going to do a little contest with this layout. So next, or throughout this next week, if you make a card using this layout, this one here, which will post this in our VIP Facebook group, so you can go and get all the measurements and everything there.

So you should go this week, make sure you make a card using this layout. You can use one of these sets that we used. You can use your own, do something completely different. Right.
