The challenge currently at Less is More is to make a CAS card with DSP. Clearly there still needs to be lots of white space to keep it CAS so this is quite an interesting challenge. Luckily I have loads of DSP leftover to choose from and the Acorny Thank You set and associated punch is perfect for using up small pieces.

I used the acorn builder punch to get a variety of acorns and their tops using the Sweet Li’l Things DSP. I also punched some out in tangelo twist and watermelon wonder cardstock. Next I glued tops onto acorns, first removing the stem since that’s harder to line up. After that I stamped the sentiment (also from the Acorny Thank you set) in watermelon wonder and then started gluing my acorns to the card. I wanted to have them overlap the top and bottom of the card and I trimmed the excess with my paper snips once the glue was dry – using the card edge as a guide.

I used up some more of my DSP by using it for the envelope liner and the retiring envelope liner framelits. I still can’t believe that the liner framelits are retiring – they are the most used framelits that I own since I refuse to leave an envelope naked. I just checked the retiring list and they are still available, so if you don’t have them, I’d advise snapping them up asap.

See you tomorrow,
