Expressions in ink DSP

Leave a reply

This week’s product of the week is the stunning Expressions in ink DSP. The only use of the matching stamp set Artistically Inked on this week’s cards is for the sentiments. I wanted to really focus on the DSP this week.

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - Expressions in ink DSP - Stitched Rectangle Dies - Artistically Inked

This is a very clean and simple card. It consists of a piece of the Expressions in ink DSP matted with gold foil and then adhered to a Shaded Spruce card base. The sentiment from the coordinating Artistically Ink set was heat embossed in gold on more Shaded Spruce. Finally this was die cut using the Stitched Rectangle dies and popped up with dimensionals.

Firstly I want to remind you about the free shipping deal that Stampin’ Up! is running TODAY ONLY! On orders over $70, that’s a 10% saving, below $70 it’s a higher percentage because it’s a flat $6.95.

Last week I focused on the host set, Better Places but due to sickness didn’t get the second and third cards blogged on schedule. I posted one yesterday and here’s the last one.

I wanted to use the third, and last, image stamp in the Better Places host set for this card. The leafy branch was stamped in Evening Evergreen up the side of the Soft Seafoam card base. The sentiment, also from Better Places, was stamped in Evening Evergreen and then die cut using the Stitched Rectangle Dies. After popping it up with dimensionals, some white Elegant Faceted gems were added.

Last week I focused on the host set, Better Places but due to sickness didn’t get the second and third cards blogged. So I’ll post one of them today and one tomorrow.

The Better Places host set really lends itself to clean and simple cards which you know are my favourite type. This stamp was colored with Stampin’ Write markers in Balmy Blue, Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent. After huffing on the stamp to moisten the ink, it was stamped onto a piece of Whisper White. This was then matted in Evening Evergreen. Finally one of the sentiments was stamped directly onto the card base also in Evening Evergreen.

This week I decided to focus on the host set, Better Places.

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - Better Places

The obvious thing to do with the Better Places stamp set is to color it using blends, watercolor pencils or even the new Soft Pastels assortment. So I decided to start with heat embossing in silver!

This makes it a very simple and easy to create card. The cardstock is Blackberry Bliss and after heat embossing the image, it was matted with silver foil. 

A friend of mine recently was selecting cards to take home to his wife who is very fond of sending cards. It works out well – I make too many and she needs a lot! She was apparently looking for non-sentiment ones which is what I always looked for when buying cards. Of course I haven’t bought any since I started making them. But when I make a card, I now consider whether a sentiment would add to it, or whether it’s just a habit.

And I don’t think that adding a sentiment is needed here. What do you think?

Join me on Sunday at 11am EDT on Facebook when I’ll show how I made this along with 2 other cards. Share my live and be put into my raffle. See you then.

Beauty of the Earth DSP

Here is a tiny snippet of the Beauty of the Earth DSP – and you could make a lot of these. I’m guessing at least 60!

Liz Bailey Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - Beauty of the Earth DSP - Beauty of Friendship

The line of trees were cut from a piece of the Beauty of the Earth DSP which has masses of them. It was matted on Mossy Meadow card stock. Next it was positioned over a Whisper White card base to give the position for the sentiment. The sentiment comes from the Beauty of Friendship and was stamped in Mossy Meadow. Only then was the matted DSP attached to the card base just in case of a stamping issue.

I really like the simple elegance of this card. I showed making it earlier today at my normal 11am EDT Facebook live. You can check out the replay.
