Filled with Sweetness meets Valentine Kisses

I am in LOVE with the Homemade Sweetness DSP!! Originally, I just bought the DSP and cute little embellishments! Because, most of the dies with the coordinating bundle don't cut out any of the images in the DSP. I can fussy cut! (I did go back and get the bundle! I love it, now, too!) and, you will need to, for the most part! I saw a version of this card with the darling bear from the Valentine Kisses bundle, hugging the "honey jar"! Rest is totally Homemade Sweetness DSP (oh, except for the sentiment). So, grab the DSP and your snips and get ready for some fun!

Measurements:

Strawberry Slush: 1/2 sheet
Basic White: 2 3/4" x 4" (arch), 1 1/2" x 3 3/4" (tag), scrap (bear)
Homemade Sweetness DSP (N)(OE): 2 1/4" x 4" (Slush check), 3" x 4" (Slush Hearts), various jars cut from DSP

To Make This Card:

Add DSP layers to front of folded Strawberry Slush card base.
Attach strip of narrow Bubble Bath ribbon between the 2 DSP's.
Next, die cut arch from piece of White. Set aside.
Also, stamp sentiment in Black Ink onto scrap of White and die cut with largest banner in the Stylish Shapes dies. Also, set aside.
Now, stamp "hugging" bear in Black Ink. color in with Blends as shown, and die cut with corresponding die. (It DOES cut slits in in the bears' arms!)
Lastly, cut several different jars from the DSP. I used 6 altogether, with the "honey pot" in the bears' arms!
Then, start with the "arch" on the front of the card, and "build" from there. You'll need to trim the "points" from the left side of the "banner", and makes sure the bear covers the end and the end doesn't hang off the card! Whew!
I added the bear to the "arch" with Dimensionals. Oh, be sure to add the "honey pot" in his arms, first. It's much easier that way. (I speak from experience!)
Then, scatter the 5 remaining jars to the card. I added mine with Dimensionals.
Finish with scattered Strawberry Slush Flat Pearls.

Reverse Flip Book Binder Card

I just "happened upon" the cool card that used the Love Notes Mix n Match DSP. However, the interesting thing was the fold. It was a version of the Book Binder card fold, only it was folded and cut differently to LOOK like a "regular" Book Binder card! I LOVE it! I will definitely be trying this one, again!

Measurements:

Basic White: 1/2 sheet, 3" square (largest circle), scrap (sentiment)
Love Notes DSP (N): sheet with both prints, sheet with floral focal point
Garden Green: 2 3/4" square

To Make This Card:

Fold White card base in half. With fold on top, cut front @ 1 1/4" from cut edge to crease. Adhere this area to card back.
Cut green piece of DSP to 4" square, and adhere to flap.
Cut pink print of DSP to 1" x 4". Adhere to glued "binding".
Now, die cut circle in White.
Punch Garden Green with 2 3/8" Circle Punch.
Punch Floral Focal point with 2 1/4" Circle Punch. Layer all together & add to front of card with Dimensionals.
Finish front with sentiment stamped in Garde Green & die cut with Banner from the Stylish Shapes dies. I also added a couple of pink Low Profile Dots, and wrapped Garden Green & White Chevron ribbon around "binding" and tied in a bow. I secured the center with a Mini Glue Dot.

Clean & Simple Easter Basket

So, I wanted a clean & simple card for my Senior Center gals using the Easter Basket bundle. I knew that "weaving" the basket wouldn't be a possibility, so I utilized the Woven Textures DSP for the basket instead. LOVE how it turned out! We had to have a "chocolate bunny", and I used the Pastel Shimmer papers for all the other components. They loved it!

Measurements:

Basic White: 1/2 sheet, 1/4 sheet (arch)
Easter Joy (N): 4" x 5 1/4" (green print)
Woven Textures DSP: 3" x 4" (white wicker)
Pastel Shimmer Cardstock (OE): various scraps
Summer Splash: scrap (grass)
Pecan Pie: scrap (bunny)

To Make This Card:

Adhere green DSP to folded White card. Note: This DSP has a tendency to curl so don't skimp on the adhesive!
Next, die cut arch from 1/4 sheet of White. Adhere to front of card.
Then, die cut the "basket" from DSP.
Stamp "bunny" in Early Espresso ink onto scrap of Pecan Pie. Die cut with corresponding die.
Now, die cut 3 eggs from the 3 colors of Pastel Shimmer, one scallop from Lemon Lolly, and the "bow" from Pink.
Originally, I die cut the sentiment from a die, but then discovered the Three Banner Punch worked better! So, I used that in class.
Next, assemble the "basket" with the "grass", "scallop", and "chocolate bunny". Then, adhere to "arch" on the front of card with Dimensionals, including a Mini one at the top of the "handle". (You'll hide it with the die cut "bow".)
Finish the basket, but adhering, and tucking in the 3 eggs, and adding the "bow" to the top of the "handle".
I stamped the sentiment in Black ink and then ended up punching it out.
I finished with a Pretty in Pink Flat Pearl as the "knot" on the "bow", and scattered Summer Splash Flat Pearls.
For the inside, I stamped 3 "eggs" in Basic Gray & die cut them.

Tower Flip Up Notes of Spring Card

I saw this awesome card fold by Verna Mullins using the current POTM - Notes of Spring. It is really fun and easy to do. I'll have to look for another bundle to try this with, again! This one uses that darling March POTM set with the 2-step animals, along with the Easter Joy DSP and Beautifully Celebrated Dies. It combines 2 folds, a side tower card, with a flip up side panel. The effect is really fun!

Measurements:

Pretty in Pink: 1/2 sheet, 3 3/8" x 4" (label), 2 1/2" x 5" (flip up inside)
Basic White: 2 3/4" x 10 1/2" (flip up), 3" x 3 1/2" (label), 2 1/4" x 4 3/4" (flip up inside)
Easter Joy DSP (N): 3 pcs @ 1" x 5 1/4" (blue print), 2 1/2" x 5" (green print)

To Make This Card:

Score the Pretty in Pink base @ 1/2" - 1 3/4" - 3" - 4 1/4". Crease well making Mountain folds.
To create "tower", first, fold card base in half, as in making a "regular" card. place Tear & Tape on 1/2" area at the end.
This is a great time to add the 3 - 1" pcs of DSP, now, while everything is laying flat!
Fold back one section and the 1/2" area with the Tear & Tape, with 2 of the sections on top, and adhere to the inside, of the card. Open it up, and you should have a "tower"! Set this aside for the moment.
Fold the "Flip Up" in half. Adhere the green DSP to the front/top, and adhere the Pretty in Pink layer to the inside.
Next, die cut one "label" from Pretty in Pink cardstock, and the next smallest size in White.
Now, stamp the sentiment in Crumb Cake ink near the top of the White "label".
Stamp the outline of the "bunny" in Early Espresso, and the "bunny" in Crumb Cake.
Mask the bunny, and add "grass" on either side in Summer Splash.
Now, you can add the White label to the Pink label.
Add the label to the tower. Make sure you only add the adhesive to one section of the tower.
Now for the Flip Up. Stamp the outline of the "goose" in Crumb Cake, and the "goose" in Stamped off Peach Pie.
Now you can adhere this layer to the inside.
Finish Flip Up by tying a piece of White ribbon around it, with a couple Pretty in Pink Flat Pearls inside.
Finish the outside with Summer Splash Flat Pearls.
