Quick Card Using Spring Mix & Match Products #2

Here is another beautiful, quick card from Chris Lothian. This one also uses the Mix & Match items, but with the other color palette! This one uses pink DSP from the Made With Love DSP paired with Balmy Blue! Love the alternate use of the Everyday Arches. I've never used them upside down! Again, oh so fast...and gorgeous!

Measurements:

Balmy Blue: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" (base), 3 1/4" x 4 1/2" (large arch)
Basic White: 3" x 4 1/4" (arch), 4" x 5 1/4" (inside)
Made With Love DSP (MC): 4" x 6" (will cut as we go)

To Make This Card:

Chris did not offer any directions, so I had to figure these out myself. This was the first one I tried. I ended up tweaking how I made it with the yellow & purple one.
In looking at her results, it appeared that the DSP was the flap, but also on the base. So, I took the 4" x 6" piece of DSP, scored the top @ 1/2", folded it back, and then trimmed it to 2 3/4". Keep the rest for a minute.
Wrap the 1/2 around White base and adhere. Then, attach the entire White piece to the Balmy Blue base. Next, cut the remaining DSP piece, so it just overlaps UNDERNEATH about 1/8" - mine I cut to 2 3/4" (you will have a scrap). Adhere this to the White base, NO EDGE! (Hers didn't have one! Different look!)
Base is done!
Next, die cut an arch in Balmy Blue from the Everyday Arches, and the next size from White. Layer together.
Select die cut of your choice from the Easter Time Mix & Match items and add to curve of Arch. I also added 2 "puffy" stickers from the Softest Spring Mix & Match - they are so cute!
Choose your sentiment and stamp where it will fit. Mine is from the new Springtime Scenes stamp set, available March 3rd.
Adhere top half of "arches" to top flap of card base.
Finish wit Balmy Blue Gingham bow (new), and scattered Strawberry Slush & Pretty in Pink Gems.
