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.

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.
