Awash in Beauty DSP

Leave a reply

This week I’m focusing on the gorgeous Awash in Beauty DSP with a bit of help from the Charming Sentiments set.

For my first card using the Awash in Beauty DSP, I decided to highlight this beautiful Polished Pink piece. As you can see, I matted it in Polished Pink. 

Once I had it matted, I held it in the right place and then stamped the sentiment from Charming Sentiments. Yes, you’re right, I hadn’t  put it away yet. It’s a great 17 piece sentiment set.

I then attached the matted layer and added a Polished Pink bow. I love using DSP for cards

I’ll be making this card, along with 2 more, at my Facebook Live on Sunday at 11am eastern. Join me and if you share my live, I’ll add you to next week’s raffle.

A Little Lace

Leave a reply

This week I’m focusing on a retiring set, A Little Lace. Currently it’s still available but it’s as supplies last so don’t wait.

This is a very simple card. I stamped the image and sentiment from the A Little Lace set in Magenta Madness on a whisper white layer. Next I added a Magenta Madness mat before adhering the layers to a whisper white card base. Next a scattering of transparent Elegant Faceted gems And that’s it! Very simple.

Lovely You

This week I’m focusing on the Lovely You bundle (154070, $42.25) which consists of the Lovely You 18 piece stamp set and the Lovely Labels Pick a punch. Today, though, I am only using the Lovely You stamp set.

I used three images from the Lovely You stamp set and stamped them up the edge of a piece of Very Vanilla. The colors used were Pear Pizzazz, Highland Heather and Rococo Rose. The sentiment, also from Lovely You was stamped in Highland Heather. This was then matted with a piece of Pear Pizzazz and then layered onto a Very Vanilla  card base. A few gold glitter enamel dots finished off the card.

Lovely You Bundle

Leave a reply

This week I’m playing with the Lovely You bundle consisting of the Lovely You stamp set and the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch.

I decided to make my own designer series paper using stamps from the Lovely You stamp set and Just Jade, Shaded Spruce and Coastal Cabana and mounted that on a Just Jade card base. The sentiment is from Lovely You too, in Just Jade and then I punched the ends using the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch. There are two different patterns and each lets you make it in 3 widths. Make it a teeny bit smaller than the official width to make it easier to get your banner into the punch.

This is another example of a bundle that you could get for free if you join my team by the end of the month. As I’ve mentioned, you get the usual amazing offer of $125 of product of your choice with free shipping for a mere $99. You also get a free Paper Pumpkin kit (value $22) AND a free bundle of your choice. I figure that is up to a 57% discount depending on which bundle you choose. And then going forward, you’d get a 20% discount. Hard to see how anyone could turn that down!

I’m a member of the Talented Tutorial Team and each month the 15 of us create a bundle of 15 tutorials. If you spend $35 with me on product, I’ll send you all 15.

Fruit Stand Designer Series Paper

2 Replies

I was looking at my DSP, which rightfully is probably a mountain and wondering why I don’t use it much. I certainly look at it a lot. But what good does that do anybody? I can still still look at it if I’ve made it into a card and shared it here but there’s loads that hasn’t been cut. So I hacked into another piece from the Fruit Stand Designer Series Paper.

I had thought that this paper was a bit loud for a full layer but as a partial layer, it’s gorgeous. It’s 3.5 inches wide with a daffodil delight mat which is 1/8 inch bigger. Due to the watercolor nature of the paper, some of the colors are blended together or paler than usual so I not all of the official colors worked as a mat. The daffodil delight is perfect though. And although the watermelon wonder didn’t work as a mat, it is perfect for the greeting which comes from Vertical Greetings, a set that I’m thrilled is in the new catalog. I’m also happy that the thick whisper white which I used here as a base, must’ve been a hit since Stampin’ Up! is introducing thick very vanilla.

I hope you enjoyed today’s project.
