Tasty Treats Specialty DSP

I’ve been trying not to hoard my DSP, but I do struggle to cut into the special papers in the specialty ranges – for example this embossed shiny piece from the Tasty Treats Specialty DSP where the cherries and some of the strawberries have a lovely shine.

I wanted to showcase this paper, but on the other hand, it’s quite busy so it needed a large frame. I cut the DSP 1 1/2 inches smaller than the watermelon wonder card base so that I have a deep border and then added a pear pizzazz frame which is 1/8 inch larger than the DSP giving a teeny border that just sets it off nicely.\

The sentiment comes from the stamp set Cool Treats with the adorable little strawberry being cut out using the matching framelits, Frozen Treats. I did try cutting out a pear pizzazz strawberry and layering on the top, but it didn’t look as good as the watermelon wonder one so my little strawberry is more aesthetically pleasing even if not botanically correct! I cropped my circle using the layering circles framelits dies and then used the same dies to get the teeny scalloped border in pear pizzazz again to pull everything together. Popping the circles up on dimensionals just finished everything off perfectly.

Tasty Treats Designer Series Paper

Leave a reply

Today’s card features the Tasty Treats Designer Series Paper which is not what I thought I was featuring. I had two packs of DSP together in a pile because I’d been playing with them and I really love how the Succulent Garden DSP features the mint macaron and sweet sugarplum together. So I pulled out what I thought was a piece of mint macaron from the Succulent Garden DSP and decided to use the Sunshine Wishes thinlits dies to make a different kind of possible Valentine’s card using that and sweet sugarplum. Here’s my card.

I cut out the word and heart from sweet sugarplum using the Sunshine Wishes thinlits die and glued them onto my piece of DSP which was bordered with sweet sugarplum. Actually at this point I was planning on a little square card but there was something missing. I thought I’d try adding the whole thing to a normal sized card base; it wasn’t until I pulled out a mint macaron card base that I realised that I had the colour wrong and after a quick look through my hanging files found that I’d used a pool party DSP instead of mint macaron. This led to a look through the catalog to discover that I’d actually been using the Tasty Treats Designer Series Paper instead! I’ve also discovered that I like pool party with sweet sugarplum. Good to know!
