Delightful Florals Fun Fold

What a bright & cheery birthday card this is!

 

I used the gorgeous DSP that in an on line exclusive.

#162356- Delightful Floral DSP= $12.50

 

 The colors in this DSP are-

Berry Burst, Blackberry Bliss, Bubble Bath, Calypso Coral, Fresh Freesia, 

Lemon Lolly, Parakeet Party, Pool Party, Pretty Peacock

I made these birthday cards & mailed them out last week! 

Here is a pattern I made on how I cut the DSP.

I started with 3 different sheets of 3 3/4 x 5" DSP.

And I did a technique called- Stack, Cut & Shuffle

when I was cutting this DSP!

I took the 3 different DSP prints & cut them at the same time, 

using the different angles I have shown above in my pattern.

I then just shuffled them all 3 pieces of each sheets into 3 different piles.

Each card has the same patterns of DSP in it,

but they are all in different places!

Cool huh!
