Vertical (Portrait) Card:

– Sentiment scrap, bling, ribbon
Mark 2″ down from the top and 2″ up from the bottom on the right-hand side of the DSP. Mark 1¼ down from the to and 1¼ up from the bottom on the left-hand side of the DSP. Cut the DSP by going from the top right 2″ mark up to the 1¼ mark from the top on the left-hand side. Then cut from the 2″ mark up from the bottom down to the 1¼” mark on the left-hand side.
If you want a little separation between your DSP pieces and you want an even border around the DSP, trim 1/8″ off of the 4″ width of the layer. Add a die cut or stamped image and sentiment. Finish your card with a sentiment, sparkle, and maybe ribbon.

Welcome to our April Blog Waddle! We are featuring cards from the Mini-Catalog this month!!
I picked the Two-Tone Flora bundle (#160414) for my project. It is such a beautiful bundle! The card base is Basic White with a Basic White layer die cut with the stunning background die from the Two-Tone Flora Dies (#159181). The flowers were stamped in Polished Pink, Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight, Fresh Freshia, and Flirty Flamingo. The larger stamp images were stamped off and the smaller detail stamps were fully inked. The leaves were stamped in Garden green. The sentiment from the Pansy Patch stamp set (#154999) was stamped in Polished Pink. Three pearls from the 2021-2023 In-Color Opal Rounds (#159185) completed my card!
