Fun Fold using Dandy Garden DSP/ New Host Code

 

Welcome to my blog. This card shows how you can make a card using a 6 x 6 piece of DSP. You use the DSP for scenery. For  the following card I used the Dandy Garden DSP from the new Mini Catalog.
Materials and Directions 
- The card base is a piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 scored at 1-1/4 x 4-1/4

- The DSP is 6 x 5-1/4. Cut at 2-1/4 , 2-3/4 and 1. A piece of Whisper White 3 x 5-1/4

- Scalloped circle dies. Larger in Mossy Meadow, the smaller Dragonfly DSP.

- Fold Card base. Adhere DSP and the Whisper White. Then add circle using glue on one side only. I then used white ribbon on the left side.


You can order the products I used from my website. Button on the right.


Host Code 
Since we’re starting a new year I thought I’d explain what the Host Code is for. It is used if you are order is less than 150$. You add this code to your order. If you order 150 or more don’t use the Host Code and you will earn bonus. This months Host Code is 2DW7B2QJ. You can find it in the margins under my corgi.

Using card sketches with Flower and Field DSP


Welcome to my blog and Happy New Year. The new Mini Catalog is now live and can be ordered from until June 30th. Also Sale a Bration is going on until February 28th. What’s Sale a Bration? For every $50 or $100 you spend you earn free product from the Sale a Bration catalog. The following card is one I made using Flower and Field DSP I got free from Sale a Bration. I also used a sketch from Paper Play ( sketch 46). I often look at sketch ideas when I need inspiration. Mojo Monday is also another place to get sketches.
Materials and Directions 

- Whisper White card base 4-1/4 x5-1/2
- 1st layer is Cherry Cobbler 4-1/4 x 5-1/2.
-2nd layer is DSP 4 x 5-1/4 adhere to the Cherry Cobbler layer. 
- rectangle layers. One using Cherry Cobbler 3-1/8 x 4-1/2. The second using the reverse side of the DSP 2-7/8 x 4. Adhere the DSP to the cardstock. Then adhere at an angle to the front.After doing this add ribbon as in the photo. You then can glue this to the card base.
- I used the medium Daisy Punch to make the flower. One out of Cherry Cobbler the other using the DSP. I glued them together and adhered to the card.
- sentiment is one I had. I stamped it on a piece of Granny Apple Green as in the photo.
As I stated I made this card using paper from the Sale a Bration catalog. The paper is beautiful. 
If you place an order for 30$ I will send you the catalogs for free. Tomorrow I will post a new host code for January.

Rectangle Flip it card using Birds and Branches bundle and Flowers for Every Season DSP




 Welcome to my blog. It’s been very foggy lately so I decided I wanted to make a colorful card. I used the Birds and Branches bundle paired with Flowers for Every Season DSP. I have a die from my stash that makes the flip it card base. There are several tutorials on YouTube that show how to make it if you don’t have a die. I started this yesterday but had misplaced my stamp set. I found it this morning. I’m still waiting for my order from the new Mini Catalog. Once it comes I will share projects using the products.



Materials and Directions 
- For the card base I used Bumble Bee cardstock and die cut the card base.
- For the layers I die cut the layers using the the dies I had that went with the die set.
- I die cut the rectangles from layered rectangles. The larger two in Night of Navy cardstock and the two smaller in white. The white layers I stamped the images. I used Soft Suede for the branches, Night of Navy for the birds and Garden Green for the leaves. I used Daffodil Delight Stampin Blends to color the bird. I then adhered the layers and adhered to the card base.

You can order these products from my website. Remember the Year end Clearance is still on.

Snowman Season window card


 Welcome to my blog. I have a grid die so I tried making a window card. It took me awhile but I think I got it. I will need to make more for practice and eventually make a shaker card using this die and stamp set.

Materials and Directions 
- Card base is a piece of White cardstock 4-1/4 x 5 x 1/2.
- Card layer is. piece of White cardstock 4 x 5-1/4. I took a piece of Trimming the Town DSP the same size. I used a border die to cut the paper as you see it then glued this to the white layer piece.
- I stamped the image and used Balmy Blue Stampin blends to color. I then added the embellishments.
- Using my grid die I made the window out of Night of Navy cardstock . I glued acetate to it and then adhered to the card. If you don’t have a grid die you can use a piece of cardstock 4 x 5-1/4 and with your shape dies cut the windows.
Happy Crafting!
