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.

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.
This DSP will be available to order on July 1, 2022!
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).
So what do you think?
It is awesome huh!

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.
