Welcome to our July Paper Crafting Blog Hop with Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from all over the globe! Our theme this month is our lovely Designer Series Paper! DSP for short!
You may have arrived from Tracy’s blog. She had a fabulous project! I chose the Playing With Patterns 6″x6″ DSP (#152490). This is a great card to use up scraps. I cut 3 sets of 6″ x 1/2″ strips from 6 pieces of patterned paper. You can use both sides of 3 pieces of DSP or a total of 4 or 5 patterns, it is all up to you!! Take a piece of Whisper White or Very Vanilla cardstock cut at 5 1/4″ x 4″. This will be cut down to 5″ x 3 3/4″ after the strips are adhered. Start by adhering 2 long strips of DSP diagonally across the card. Next take 2 different pieces and place them at a 90 degree angle or perpendicular to the first piece, in about the middle of the first piece. then alternate 2 pieces in each direction to the edges. Trim off the excess ends, they can be used to fill in small sections. Cut the finished piece to 5″ x 3 3/4″.
The card base is Calypso Coral with a layer of Night of Navy on top. That layer is 5 1/8″ x 3 7/8″. To keep with the angular theme of the card I used the Stitched Nested Labels Dies (#149638) for the sentiment from the Itty Bitty Birthdays cling stamp set (#148618). Happy was stamped in Night of Navy and Birthday was stamped inside the card.
If using a floral Designer Series Paper, you can emboss the DSP layer to give it a quilted look before adhering it to the 2 other layers.

5-1/4” x 4” two-sided paper, cut at 2-1/2” from the left. Then cut the wide panel 3” up from the bottom and cut the 1-1/2” strip, 2” from the bottom. Flip alternate rectangles. Add a sticker or sentiment and you’re done.
Welcome to the July Stampin Stray Ducklings’ Blog Waddle! This month we are featuring cards created with a fun fold. You may have arrived here from Nancy Legate’s blog. Following me is Kim Baker’s blog. Let us know what you think of these fantastic cards!
I created my card using the Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper (#152488). It is cut at 5-1/4″ x 11-3/4″. Scored at 1-3/4″, 4-3/4″, and 7-3/4″. The card base in Old Olive, is cut to 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″. Fold the DSP back and forth, adhering the largest piece of DSP to the card base. You can adhere the second and third panels together or leave them unattached and add more die cuts or stamped images. Isn’t this a fun way to show both sides of the beautiful DSP?
The die for the bottom panel is cut from the Ornate Layers Dies (#152726) in Blushing Bride. You can add another layer of Whisper White on top of the Blushing Bride, if you like. I cut a flower border in Blushing Bride using the Ornate Borders Dies (#152724). It is tucked under a piece of Old Olive/Pretty Peacock 3/8″ Reversible Ribbon (#149496). The sentiment, from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set (#151331), is stamped in Old Olive on a piece of Old Olive cardstock cut with a die from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies (#151690). I made this an anniversary card, but it can be used for an occasion.

I knew I had lost two of my three flowers for a card I was assembling for Stampin Buffets this week, but where could they have gone? I remembered they had adhesive on them and had that side up on the table. Pretty hard to find when they match the flowers in my top!
