Welcome back for episode #3 of Meet the DSPs! Today we are talking a look at WHOLE LOT OF LOVELY DESIGNER SERIES PAPER (DSP) “Lovely” is the perfect word to describe this paper and I have a fun layout for you to use to make quick & easy cards with the DSP being the focus. Simply add some stamped greetings!
DON’T FORGET–DO NOT HOARD YOUR PAPERS!!! PURCHASE THEM…..USE THEM….REPEAT!
These papers are 12″ x 12″ and double sided. These papers have a great mix of soft subtle colors and bright bold colors!
These cards truly focus on the beauty of the paper–let it do the work! Add a little ribbon and a greeting–and BAM–QUICK & EASY card!
Let’s take a close up look at one of the cards so I can give you all the details to make this quick and easy card. They are all made the same way! I paired the DSP with the stamp set called BETTER TOGETHER. You will find it on page 51 of the 2017-2018 Stampin’ Up! catalog. It’s the perfect greeting set because it has both “inside” and “outside” words!
- Pear Pizzazz Card Base: 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ (other cards use Pool Party & Soft Suede)
- DSP: 5 1/4″ x 4″
- Whisper White: 1 1/8″ x 5 1/2″ — length does not matter, as long as it is longer than where you are placing it, see picture below (adjust the width depending the greeting used)
- Pool Party: 1 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ (adjust based on size of Whisper White)
- Ribbon
- Whisper White: 5 1/4″ x 4″ (inside)
- Adhere DSP to card base
- Wrap ribbon around and tie into knot
- Stamp greeting in center of strip of Whisper White
- Adhere to colored cardstock
- Adhere greeting strip across bottom corner as shown
- Trim off the ends to card base
Finish off the inside with a scrap of DSP and the coordinating word stamp!
One thing I always struggle with is remembering (or matching) what colors coordinate with each of the papers. Here is a chart that I created that you can download and print–CLICK THE PICTURE BELOW TO DOWNLOAD. I have mine in a sheet protector and keep on my stamping desk.
