UnChristmas Tidings DSP

If you’re anything like me, you’ve got Christmas paper that you didn’t use so here’s the third card made with the Christmas Tidings DSP that is not Christmassy.

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - My Elegant Cards - Tidings of Christmas DSP - Painted Poppies stamp set

Here’s a very simple card.  I cut a piece of the Tidings of Christmas DSP and attached it to a white card base. Next I stamped beautiful poppies from the Painted Poppies stamp set in Cherry Cobbler on Whisper White. After that I stamped the sentiment from the Art Gallery. I wanted a horizontal birthday greeting and this is what I found in my stash. Sometimes it’s the shape of the sentiment that matters. This layer was then added to the card.

I showcased this this morning at 11am on my Facebook live along with two others using this non Tidings of Christmas DSP. Come and join me and if you share my live, I’ll add you to my raffle for next week.

Pattern Party DSP

As I’ve mentioned, the Pattern Party DSP is at the back of the annual catalogue and can only be bought with host rewards. The 48 piece 12 by 12 inch DSP (4 each of 12 double sided designs) is a $30 value but costs just $18 of your host rewards. I’m using it this week to increase my birthday card stash. Here I’m using one of the 12 black and white patterns.

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - My Elegant Cards - Pattern Party DSP - Shaded Summer stamp set - Stitched Rectangle dies

Cut a piece of the Pattern Party DSP to 5 1/2 by 2 inches and mat it with Poppy Parade using my ruler tip. Add this to a thick white card base – Basic or Whisper, whatever you have.

Next stamp the sentiment from Shaded Summer in Poppy Parade. Cut it out using the Stitched Rectangle Dies and add it to the card using dimensionals.

Finally, use the dark Poppy Parade blend and colour a few basic rhinestones. Add them to the card; my preference is to use the Take Your Pick tool.

The Pattern Party DSP pack is excellent value and I suspect I’ll be returning to it soon. I’ve barely scraped the surface. The colors included are Crushed Curry, Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green, Misty Moonlight, Pale Papaya, Petal Pink, Pool Party & Poppy Parade. On the reverse side all the designs are black and white. 

I’ll be demonstrating this card and 2 others later on at my Facebook Live at 11am EST. Join me then at my mini class where, for a $25 order, I’ll send you the card pieces needed to make these cards. I also upload it to YouTube.

Pattern Party DSP

You may not recognise the Pattern Party DSP; it’s at the back of the annual catalogue and can only be bought with host rewards. The 48 piece 12 by 12 inch DSP (4 each of 12 double sided designs) is a $30 value but costs just $18 of your host rewards. I’m using this week to increase my birthday card stash.

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - My Elegant Cards - Pattern Party DSP -  Elegantly Said

Cut a piece of the Pattern Party DSP to 5 1/2 by 2 inches. I like to then hold it in place to decide where the sentiment needs to be stamped. I’m using the Shaded Summer stamp set for sentiments and this was stamped in Flirty Flamingo on the same color card base.

Next add the DSP – I like to use a ruler to ensure that the DSP is properly at the edge of the card. As long as the DSP is cut straight, it should also ensure that the DSP is placed perfectly horizontally. I’m the first to admit that it doesn’t always work – especially when you get your fingers stuck to the glue and you pull it out of whack! 

Next stamp the focal point in versamark, sprinkle white embossing powder and heat. Mat the Flirty Flamingo with white and add to the card with dimensionals. Finally add a few gems – here I’ve used the Pastel Pearls.

If Flirty Flamingo isn’t your favourite color (it isn’t mine but I like it here) there are plenty of different colors in the Pattern Party DSP pack. The colors are Crushed Curry, Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green, Misty Moonlight, Pale Papaya, Petal Pink, Pool Party & Poppy Parade. On the reverse side all the designs are black and white. 

I’ll be demonstrating this card and 2 others on Sunday at my Facebook Live at 11am EST. Join me then at my mini class where, for a $25 order, I’ll send you the card pieces needed to make these cards. I also upload it to YouTube.

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - My Elegant Cards - Pattern Party DSP - Layering Circles Framelits Dies

Here a piece of the Pattern Party is matted with Very Vanilla. I wrapped a piece of ribbon around before adhering it to a Crushed Curry card base. 

The sentiment which comes from the Elegantly Said set was stamped in Crushed Curry on Very Vanilla. This was then die cut using the Layering Circles Framelits dies and added to a Crushed Curry scalloped circle. The scalloped circle was also die cut with the Layering Circles. The sentiment was added to the card with dimensionals.

I’ll be demonstrating this card and 2 others on Sunday at my Facebook Live at 11am EST. Join me then at my mini class where, for a $25 order, I’ll send you the card pieces needed to make thee cards. I also upload it to YouTube.

Shaded Summer

This week’s product is the Shaded Summer cling set (155783, $23). I rather liked coloring Wednesday’s card after heat embossing in white and thought I’d heat emboss again. This time though, I used the card stock to color for me.

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - My Elegant Cards - Shaded Summer

First I stamped the flower image from Shaded Summer set in versamark on Polished Pink. Next I added white embossing powder and heated. I really like how the image pops on the pink.

The sentiment from Shaded Summer was stamped in Polished Pink directly onto the card base. The flower image was matted in white and then  added to the card base. 

The final touch was some basic rhinestones that were first colored with the dark Polished Pink blend.

I’ll be making this card  plus 2 others at my Facebook Live on Sunday at 11am EST. Please join me. Share my live and be put into my weekly raffle.
