Delightful Daisy DSP

Leave a reply

Here’s another of my cards made with my single piece of 12 by 12 Delightful Daisy DSP – this one is just a little strip.

Just a little strip of DSP, it may be, but doesn’t it make the card? I used multipurpose glue to fix this to the night of navy card base – a little wiggle room helped to ensure I had it lined up correctly. Then my favourite sentiment from Bunch of Blossoms also in night of navy and cut out with the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies. I added another oval behind of daffodil delight and the final touch was a bow using the new crushed curry 3/8 inch chevron ribbon.

Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper

Leave a reply

Yesterday I showcased two parts of the Delightful Daisy suite – the punch and the stamp set. Today I’m sharing the third major part, the designer series paper, which is also called Delightful Daisy. It is absolutely gorgeous and I’m currently working on a one sheet wonder with one of the pages which I’ll be sharing soon. Today’s card showcases this very watercolored looking piece. Don’t you love it?

I decided to simply mount this beautiful paper onto a calypso coral card base and use a fairly small sentiment so as not to cover up too much of the paper. This is one of my favourite thank you sentiments from Bunch of Blossoms – I love the mixture of typefaces. And I also love how using the stitched shapes framelits dies gives it a border with the stitching and negates the need for a mat to border it.

My rather large Stampin’ Up! order arrives tomorrow. I can’t wait!

Moroccan Designer Series Paper

Leave a reply

I was really pleased with yesterday’s card and, more to the point, surprised at how a print which I thought was too loud for me worked so brilliantly. So I decided to take the same kind of layout and use up another piece of my DSP mountain.

I changed the card to a vertical card and shortened the DSP slightly – it’s just 3 1/4 inches deep today instead of yesterday’s 3 1/2 inches but it’s still 4 1/4 inches across the entire card.Today’s mat is emerald envy and I put this onto a very vanilla base. I then used one of my favourite sentiments which is from Bunch of Blossoms (so happy that’s carrying over) stamped in emerald envy onto more very vanilla cut out with the awesome Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies. It then occurred to me that not only do I have a DSP mountain, my ribbon stash is quite large too so I challenged myself to add some ribbon – the paper is too busy to add a bow, but a little touch of ribbon fit in rather well.

So here we have two cards with the same basic layout, both using designer series paper and they are quite different. Which do you prefer? More to the point, do you have any paper that you could use for this layout? If you make something based on this, I’d love to see it. Just email me at lizbaileycards@gmail.com.

Stylized Birthday

2 Replies

Here’s a stamp which isn’t retiring – Stylized Birthday. It’s also a really handy – and economical – one. It comes only in a wood mount and is only $10. I haven’t had it long, but it’s extremely useful. I realised I’d been using it a lot on the inside of cards and decided that it deserved to be displayed on the outside. So here is it along with some retiring Party Animal DSP – still available this morning.

I first selected the piece of DSP, which is pacific point and whisper white and decided that it needed another color. The color scheme came about because I have rather a lot of ribbon in the retiring in color, mint macaron, so I added a strip of that around the DSP and then added a bow. The Stylized Birthday is stamped in mint macaron also on whisper white and carefully cut out with the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies – it JUST fits. I used dimensionals to pop this up so that there wasn’t a lump where the ribbon was. Easy card to create and it uses up DSP. A win win!

Dragonfly Dreams Tag

Leave a reply

I decided to make a “pillow gift” for my sister of a tag and it was based on my swap card (and then the tag improved the card) using Dragonfly Dreams.

I first stamped the bee from Dragonfly Dreams in versamark and heat embossed using the copper embossing powder. Next I used so saffron, calypso coral and rose red to add diagonal stripes of colour with my aquapainter which I then softened by adding more water and more so saffron. When they were dry, I cut them out with the Stitched Shapes framelits dies and then cut a larger mat using the copper foil. I realised that these weren’t going to be sturdy enough as tags on her onstage live bag and added a sturdier square – I used the card that is on the back of a DSP pack. To make that more pretty, I added another copper foil square. After that I did more watercoloring using the retired set Larger than Life to stamp a C and then heat emboss in copper. I made one for myself too.

larger than life tags

Once I’d glued everything together with fast fuse, I tried to use a hand punch but it was a bit tricky. After mentioning this to Martin, he took the tags down to the basement and used the drill press. I then used some very vanilla satin ribbon to create a pretty means of attaching the tag to a bag. At this point, I decided it would be fun to make one for each of the Aces and Diamonds who were attending. Aces and Diamonds is Eimear Carvill’s team of which my sister is a member and I’ve been adopted as an “across the pond” member. It was really fun to meet up with them in Amsterdam.
