Elegant Encircled in Warmth

I had so much fun using the Encircled in Beauty dies, that I wanted to play some more!!  This combines the beautiful Simply Elegantly DSP with those gorgeous "doily" dies.  There are SO MANY combinations!! You just need these dies!!  Cut them out and start playing!! This photo doesn't do this card justice!


Measurements:  

  • Cherry Cobbler: 1/2 sheet, 4" square (doily), 2 1/4" square (sentiment)
  • Simply Elegant: 4" x 5 1/4"
  • Gold Foil:3 1/4" square
  • Very Vanilla: 4" x 5 1/4" (inside)

To Make This Card 
  • TInt the white background of the DSP piece with Cherry Cobbler ink and a Blending Brush. Once you have reached your desired color, take a tissue and buff ink off the foil image!
  • Attach this piece to folded Cherry Cobbler card.
  • Cut larger "doily" from Cherry Cobbler square.  You will need to add the outside cutting edge to have a complete doily.
  • Attach the CENTER of this "doily" to the front of card.
  • Cut the next size "doily" from Gold Foil. To tamp down the bright gold a bit, add some Cherry Cobbler ink to this piece, too, with Blending Brush.  Let dry a minute, and butff this with a tissue as well.  Then, add the CENTER of this "doily" over the other "doily".
  • Stamp and emboss sentiment from the Encircled in Warmth stamp set. (designed to add further value to your dies!)
  • Cut out with corresponding circle die. (Or, use the circle that was removed from the large "doily".  I thought this was a little big..)
  • Add this sentiment to center of "doilies" with Dimensional.
  • Finish with a bow of new Cherry Cobbler and Gold Ribbon.

Simple Accordion Fold

I'm sure that most of you have a few demonstrators that "speak" to you, or you follow.  One of those, for me, is one of my downline, Susie Wood.  She LOVES folds as much as I do, and she has a style that is similar to mine. Susie shared this on her blog, and I fell in love with the simple design, fold, just everything!  I'm sure many of you have DSP laying around in your stash.  This is an awesome way to use it! You need to give this one a try!



Measurements:    

  • Basic White: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2", 2 3/4" x 4 3/4", 3" square
  • Sahara Sand: 4" x 5 1/4", 3 3/4" square
  • Peaceful Prints (SAB) (ret): 5" x 11 1/2"
To Make This Card:

  • Attach Sahara Sand layer to White base.
  • Score DSP piece at 1 3/4" - 4 3/4" - 7 3/4". If your DSP has a directional print (such as these deer), pay attention as to where you begin your scoring.  (My first attemp my deer ended up upsidedown!!)
  • Accordion fold along all score lines. Pretty cool how this layers!!
  • Attach this piece to the base pieces.
  • Add the White piece to the inside as shown.
  • Use the Hippo & Friends dies to cut out the labels used.  The largest is cut from Sahara Sand.  The middle one is cut from Basic White, after you stamp a sentiment in Sahara Sand ink.  Layer together
  • Attach left half to front piece.
  • Finish by stamping a sentiment inside in Sahara Sand, and embellishing with some scattered pearls. Oh, also a knot of White Glittery Organdy Ribbon
