A Sweet & Simple Card with Perennial Lavender DSP

 Hello and thanks for visiting!

Today's simple card showcases the beautiful Perennial Lavender DSP, #162593 .  If you like to make multiples of cards, and switch up the sentiment, then this simple card is for you.

This is sketch #74 from Stampin' Pretty's Sketchbook.  I used Bakers Twine in place of the leaves surrounding the sentiment.  This sketch is so versatile, use your favourite DSP and mix and match with embellishments and/or die cut shapes.

   

***  The Trix  ***

*  The DSP measures 4 x 5 1/4, ***Trix, to make 6 cards from one sheet of 12 x 12 dsp, cut 1 1/2 inches off the bottom of your DSP first. (leaving one long strip for future projects)  

*  The Highland Heather card base is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  The tiny smidge of Basic White border around the 4 x 5 1/4 DSP is a 16th of an inch bigger than the DSP layer, just to provide a bit of visual interest.

*  Create a layered sentiment with complimentary DSP.  ***Trix, the sentiment size determines the measurements, so change it up to meet your needs.  This Basic White sentiment piece is 3" x 1 1/8", stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink, the DSP is 2 1/2" x 1 5/8".  The sentiment comes from the Crafting With You Stamp Set, #161219. 

*  Adhere the sentiment rectangle to the DSP rectangle with glue, then adhere the Bakers Twine, #155475 to the back with Stampin' Seal before adhering to the card base with dimensionals.

A Little Latte Suite with Fun Patterns Embossing Folder

 Hello and thanks for visiting!

I just had to share a couple more cards from my playtime with A Little Latte Suite, #163466 available March 5th 2024 in the Online Exclusives section of my online store.  

The first one uses last weeks sketch from The Paper Players, if you misses that post, please click here to find the measurements and the ***Trix.  I've shifted the DSP down on the card to balance out the size of the coffee carafe.  Now I'm excited to try out different pieces of DSP for the carafe.

This card also features the Fun Patterns Embossing Folder, #163790.  I could see a fun pattern like this on wallpaper in a coffee shop :)

The second card features the 'A Little Latte' DSP, #163453 and I've snuck in a piece of Softly Stippled DSP (from this past Sale-A-Bration) for one of the layers.

***  The Trix  ***

* Add a bit of texture to the card base with an embossed Petal Pink 4 11/4 x 5 1/2 layer.  I used an old fave called Subtle Dynamic.

*  Adhere a 3 1/4 x 4 piece of Softly Stippled DSP to the card base then a 3 1/4 x 3 3/4 layer of A Little Latte DSP.

*  Use the Latte Love Dies, #163460 to create the carafe and adhere to the card with dimensionals.

*  Stamp the sentiment from the Latte Love Stamp Set, #163455 on Basic White cardstock and adhere with dimensionals and glue.  Embellish with gems of choice.  I used Opaque Faceted Gems from this past Sale-A-Bration.
