I’ve mentioned before that I struggle to use DSP (Designer Series Paper) so I’m quite proud to present my first card where there’s a lot of DSP! I confess that I did start with one in only two colours to make it easier. Naturally, it’s a retired DSP, but you can’t have everything.

This is a clean and simple card (definitely my stamping style) and easy to mass produce using different DSPs.

Details

Base: 8.5″ by 5.5″ crushed curry

Stamp set: Stampin’ Up! Lots of Thanks

Mat: 4″ by 5.25″ Eastern elegance (retired) DSP

Other: Oval framelits 3 and 4 (counting from the smallest), Versamark, crushed curry embossing powder, embossing buddy

I rubbed the embossing buddy over a scrap of whisper white and then stamped the sentiment in Versamark ink and sprinkled the crushed curry embossing powder over it. Then, my favourite part, I heated it with the heating tool until the text was glossy. I used the #3 framelit to cut out the oval and then used both the #3 and #4 to cut out an oval frame in crushed curry cardstock. Then it was a simple matter of assembling the card by adhering everything together. I initially grabbed a very vanilla envelope and lined it with the background DSP in crushed curry since I use the very vanilla most of the time. After photographing the card and envelope, I noticed that it should’ve been whisper white and had to redo it. At least I now have a lined very vanilla envelope ready to go!
