Clean & Simple Inlaid Card

This card features the Inaid Technique using the Picture This dies. We designed this card for Garner.  Think of the possibilities using up your scraps!!  Love the use of the Biggest Wish stamp set, which I don't use often enought!

Measurements:  

• Just Jade (ret): 1/2 sheet, 4" x 5 1/4"
• Sweet Symmetry DSP (ret): scraps
• Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4", scraps

To Make This Card:

• Cut rectangle Picture This die from Just Jade layer.  Attach to folded Just Jade card. Note: for a variation, you could pop up the die cut layer or the inserts.  For my purposes that would be a little difficult for my Assisted Living stampers.
• Cut one "outside" rectangle from White, and the remaining 2 rectangles from DSP of your choice.
• Stamp sentiment in Just Jade ink onto White piece.
• Inlay these pieces into matching openings.
• Attach White layer to inside and stamp desired sentiment.
• Finish with knot of ribbon, jewels, or whatever you would like to use!

Another "Love It, Chop It" DSP Card

Hi, all!  I made it to sunny Florida, where the weather is just marvelous!!  Great flights, and I'm ready to kick back and relax a bit.  But, stay tuned, I DO have some inspiration here to share with you!!!  Later!

Here is another "Love It, Chop It" card I made for the Care Center. I REALLY didn't want to chop up this retired DSP, I had enough (and then some) to make this gorgeous card.  So, go through your stash of pretty papers that you didn't want to use, and at lease use a few strips.  I bet you still have enough to hang on to! Such a neat layout and LOVE the colors and layered labels!

Measurements:  

• Pool Party: 1/2 sheet, scrap
• Petal Pink: scrap
• Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4", 1 1/2" strip
• Parisian Blossoms DSP (ret): 2 pcs @ 1 7/8" x 5"

To Make This Card:

• Attach White layer to folded Pool Party card.
• Adhere 2 pieces of gorgeous DSP on top, evenly spacing the pieces.
• Layer dies from the Stitched So Sweetly dies, in coordinating colors.
• Stamp sentiment in Black onto scrap of white.  Cut out with one of the stitched scalloped dies.
• Layer all together in a pleasing combination.  I raised the sentiment with Dimensionals.
• Finish with knot of retired, coordinating ribbon.

Clean & Simple "Love It, Chop It" DSP Card

I received this card design at my Demo meeting a week ago, from friend and fellow demonstrator, Tracy Fazzio!  I thought it would be PERFECT for my card class at the Care Center! So, grab your favorite DSP, (preferably one with 2 nicely corresponding sides) and a trimmer and give this a try! Kyle Bertucci, demonstrator from Australia, has labeled this type of card a "love it chop it" card. (For those of us that have trouble chopping up that GORGEOUS DSP!)  So, stay tuned for more "Love It, Chop It" inspiration!!  Thanks for sharing, Tracy!!

My version:

Tracy's Inspiration:

Measurements:  

• Bermuda Bay: 1/2 sheet
• Sunshine & Rainbows DSP ( SAB): 2 pcs @ 4" x 5 1/4" (mine),                                       1 pc 4" x 5 1/4" (Tracy's)
• Basic White:  4" x 5 1/4" (inside), scrap

To Make This Card:

• For my version, begin by attaching one DSP to folded Bermuda Bay card.
• Now, use your Paper Trimmer to cut the DSP diagonally. Turn DSP, with cut edges matching (try lightly taping on the wrong side with removable tape) and cut diagonally from the other points. You will need to do this for either version.
• For my version: select 2 opposing pieces and attach to card front over DSP. Toss the other 2, or use them for another card!
• Stamp sentment onto scrap of white. Punch out with Everyday Label Punch.  Attach to card front over "criss-cross" with Dimensionals.
• Add White quarter to inside.  Stamp sentiment in Bermuda Bay.
• Finish with coordinating bow.

         For Tracy's version:

• You will use the DSP layer as your front.  
• Fold the base. Take the diagonal cut DSP and rearrange onto card front, flipping and fitting the pieces together like a puzzle!  Pretty cool, huh.  Tracy's DSP was really nice on both sides, so this way worked great for hers!
• Finish her version, as I did mine!
