Rain or Shine Specialty DSP

Here’s another card that doesn’t have the glossy coating – I think I’ll have to do another week sometime using more of the glossy coating on the Rain of Shine Specialty DSP.

The Rain or Shine Specialty DSP was cut to 3 by 2 inches and matted with a piece of white 1/8 inch larger. The matted pattern was used to help position the sentiment, from Happiness Abounds, which was heat embossed in gold.  It was then added to a Mango Melody card base. 

To finish off the card, I added a few Elegant Faceted Gems.

I will be making this card, along with 2 others using this DSP at my Facebook Live today at 11am eastern. When you place a $25 order with me, I’ll send you the cut cardstock for free. Also if you share my live, I’ll put you in the raffle for a free embellishment plus a card.

Rain or Shine Specialty DSP

First, I want to wish my sister Caro a very Happy Birthday.

Now onto today’s card:This week I’m using the lovely Rain or Shine Specialty DSP. The specialty part is due to a glossy coating on some of the sheets – not this pattern though. Actually the upper part of the DSP that I used on Wednesday does have the glossy coating on the clouds although it’s really hard to photograph.

The Rain or Shine Specialty DSP was cut to 3 3/4 by 5 inches and matted with a 3 7/8 by 5 1/8 inch piece of white, It was then added to a Balmy Blue card base. The sentiment is from the Happiness Abounds stamp set and of course stamped in Balmy Blue. It was then cut out using the Stitched Rectangle dies and added to the card with dimensionals.

To finish off the card, I added a few iridescent pearl basic jewels.

Splendid Day

I was going to use the Splendid Day suite for my Mail & Make this month but fortunately I noticed before publishing that it was no longer available seeing as it was in the July-Dec mini catalog. So in case you still have this suite hanging around or you bought it in the Last Chance sale, this week I’m showing a few cards using it.

The Splendid Day Specialty DSP was cut to 3 3/4 by 5 inches ensuring that a ladybird was included. This was matted with white card an 1/8 inch larger and added to a Soft Sea Foam card base. The sentiment, from Splendid Thoughts, was stamped in Fresh Freesia. After die cutting using the Stitched Rectangle dies it was added to the card with dimensionals.

I cut out another ladybird and added it on top of the one already there. This meant that antennae and legs could be cut off since they were already on the card. Finally I added some Pastel Pearls.

I will be making this card, along with 2 others using this set at my Facebook Live on Sunday at 11am eastern. When you place a $25 order with me, I’ll send you the cut cardstock for free. Also if you share my live, I’ll put you in the raffle for a free embellishment plus a card.

The white card is cut to 4 1/4 by 3 7/8 inches with the Splendid Day Specialty DSP cut at 4 inches wide. This gives a small border to the white card when it’s added to a white card base. A few of the Splendid Stems dies were cut out in Soft Sea Form and Evening Evergreen as well as a planter from the Splendid Day Specialty DSP. The sentiment, from Splendid Thoughts was stamped in Evening Evergreen onto the planter and, with the die cuts, added to the card.

To finish off the card some silver Festive Pearls were added.

The DSP was cut to 3 by 5 1/2 inches and added to a piece of Bermuda Bay 3 1/4 by 5 1/2 inches. It was then added to a white card base – the easiest way is to use a stamparatus. The sentiment is from the Splendid Thoughts set, stamped in Bermuda Bay and then cut out using the Stitched Rectangle dies. This was added directly to the card.

To finish off the card, some embellishments from the Glossy Dots Assortment were added.

I made this card, along with 2 others using this set today on my Facebook Live at 11am eastern. Your can see the replay or see it on YouTube.  When you place a $25 order with me, I’ll send you the cut cardstock for free.
