Happy Forest Friends DSP

 

Oh WOW!

It is SIMPLE SATURDAY using the Happy Forest Friends DSP! 

I let this adorable DSP do all of the work for today's simple card.

All I did was cut the DSP, layer & adhere it to the card base

& add some words!

 

This card is super simple & so cute!

I used the Rectangular Postage Punch  for the words.

BUT notice how I punched them out & then

slid them back into the punch (lining up the notches)

& punched it again.

This just made it a little narrower.

This is how much smaller the one on my card is. 

As the Basic White punched out one is the true size as the punch.

This is a fun z fold card.

Here is what it looks like when standing up.

This little bear just makes me smile.

This is a card that could be used for any occasion,

any gender & any age for the recipient.

 

Here are the measurements & supplies.

Wisteria Wishes plus a sneak peek!

 When I first saw the 'Wisteria Wishes' stamp set-

I thought of trees!!

So check out the awesome tree cards here,

using the 'Wisteria Wishes' stamp set!

 

Where did this DSP come from?

This is a sneak peek of the Sweetest Christmas DSP

that is on page 9 in the July-December (Holiday) Catalog.

How did I do it?

I used Garden Green ink & stamped the trees.

I inked them, stamped them onto the Basic White card stock

and then 'shadow' stamped them.

This means I stamped them again 2 times without reinking my stamp.

This is how you get the lighter shades of the green trees.

This is what it looks like when standing up. 

It is a fun z fold (my favorite fold).

Butterfly Kisses

Wow- this is such a pretty card!

I just love the way it turned out.

It is a totally Susie card.

 

I used the Butterfly Kisses Suite on

pages 36 & 37 in the Annual Catalog when creating this card.

This card is a fun fold card called a Center Gate Double Flap Fold.

Notice here how the top flap is attached to the left front side

& the bottom flap is attached to the bottom right side!

NOTE:  Be sure when attaching the circle words that you only

use dimensionals on the top 1/2 of this & do NOT have

any dimensionals below thee center of the card-

so that you can slide the lower flap under it.

This is what it looks like when it is opened it.

NOTE:  You would not have to make this a double flap card that tucks.

You could just attach both flaps to the left side of the card front.

Then both flaps would open together & there would be no tucking.

Here are the measurements & supplies.
