Fruit Stand DSP

Leave a reply

I really love the Fruit Stand DSP, especially the paper with the lemons and so I wanted to make it the star of my card.

Stampin' Up! Fruit Stand DSP and Endless Birthday Wishes

I think I achieved that with this super simple and quick card. It would be a great one for mass production using a variety of DSPs. This strip of DSP is about 1 3/4 inches tall and 5 1/8 wide so that I get a very small matt at the edges. I glued it to a mat of whisper white and then stamped the sentiment from Endless Birthday Wishes in crushed curry. This was a bit of a departure for me, a “colouring outside the lines” since the DSP is supposed to pair with daffodil delight. However, this piece looked happier with crushed curry. Hence the card base is also crushed curry.

To make my envelope match, I cut another strip of the DSP at 2 1/8″ by 6 and then glued it to the envelope flap and trimmed off the excess.

See you tomorrow,

Cupcake Cutouts Framelits Dies

Leave a reply

Yesterday I made a card with the set Sweet Cupcake and the Cupcake Cutouts Framelits Dies. Today I decided to do it again, but focus more on the framelits. I also wanted to make a card with the Fruit Stand DSP and have my favourite paper, really shine. So here’s the result of that combination!

Isn’t the lemon paper lucious? It’s a bit watercolorey and so the daffodil delight card stock doesn’t match perfectly hence the old olive as the card base. Or rather, it matches, but the daffodil delight card makes the DSP less intense. I wanted to really highlight the paper so this seemed like the perfect time to cut out the “wish” from the Cupcake Cutouts Framelits dies – it’s cut in old olive, the same as the card base. The “Make A” comes from the Sweet Cupcake set and I positioned it so that it was stamped over one of the paler lemons, also in old olive.

I cut my paper to 6 inches wide and 4 inches deep. Then I cut it back to 5 1/4 but that meant that I could cut a 6 by 2 1/8 strip from the remainder to decorate the envelope flap. It’s as easy as a bit of multipurpose glue on the flap, putting the DSP onto the flap and trimming around the edge. I love the coordination.

On Friday I returned home after a week at one of our plants in Ennis, Texas. It was a really interesting week, I learned a lot, met a large number of really nice people and met up with my friend Rebecca (whom I haven’t seen in 12 years) a couple of times. As you presumably noticed, I had all my posts ready to go so that there was no interruptions but the one thing that was bothering me was that my Stampin’ Up! order was arriving the day after I left, on Tuesday. So yesterday, in between laundry and cooking, I found time to start playing. Usually I jump on the new stamp sets but this time it was the Fruit Stand DSP which insisted on being used first. I fully expected to be using the quieter sides of the the DSP, so this card came as a bit of a surprise to me!

The Fruit Stand DSP is absolutely gorgeous and the peach (or is it an apricot?) needed to be the focal point of the card. So I snipped around it with my paper snips which was no big deal. I decided to leave a white border and layer it on white so I didn’t need to be terribly precise. After a fair amount of playing around with the reverse of the paper and various colour of cardstock, I finally decided to use tangerine tango. I cut down my top layer of whisper white to 4 3/4 by 3 1/2 inches and stamped the sentiment from Watercolor Wishes in tangerine tango using the cut out peach to help position it. Then I added a skinny mat of tangerine tango (1/8 inch larger than the whisper white) before gluing that to a thick whisper white card base. I then popped up the peach on a lot of dimensionals – the DSP is pretty sturdy, but I wanted to be sure it wouldn’t sag.

I used another of my new products on the envelope – I dry embossed the flap with the petal burst TIEF.

I’m off now to go and play some more. See you tomorrow,
