Storybook Friends with Full of Life DSP

 

I thought this DSP looked somewhat like stained glass, so I had to figure out the measurement so that I could get the cross bar centered correctly, so it's not a card that I could duplicate with this Designer Series Paper, but I love how it turned out.
There are so many different Cross Cards out there, but I've not seen one made with this DSP.

Stamp Set:  Storybook Friends (“Easter Greetings” on the back)

Cardstock:  Shaded Spruce, Garden Green, Basic White, 6” x 6” Full of Life DSP

Ink:  Garden Green

Other:  Paper Trimmer, Adhesive

1.      The base of the card is Shaded Spruce cardstock cut 3-1/2” x 5-1/2”

2.    The mechanism pop-up is Garden Green cardstock cut at 5” x 5-1/2” and scored at 1”, 1-7/8”, 3-1/8”, and 4”.

3.    The cross bar is Garden Green cardstock cut at 1-1/4” x 3-1/8” and the DSP is cut at 1-1/8” x 3”.

4.    The other DSP layers are (2) – 7/8” x 5-3/8” for the sides and (1) 1-1/8” 5-3/8” for the middle.

5.    For the back, cut Basic White cardstock at 3-1/4” x 5-1/4” with a ¾” x 3-1/4” DSP at the bottom.  Ink up the Easter Greetings with Shaded Spruce or Garden Green.

6.    You can also attach a ribbon bow, if desired using the ½” Silver and White Sheer Ribbon (not pictured on card).  I just didn’t want to take away too much from the cross-bar paper.

Simply Said with Mixed Media Florals

This is a card that I made using the Mixed Media Florals DSP and the stamp set said Simply Said.
They go so well together because I love all the sentiments in the set and the paper is absolutely gorgeous. I used Bobo Blue cardstock for the base which is a current In-Color that will retire soon.

Here are my instructions:

2.    The second layer is Basic Black cardstock cut at 3-7/8” x 5-1/8”.

3.    The third layer is the Mixed Media Florals DSP cut at 3-3/4” x 5”.  Color the flowers in with Wink of Stella.

Delightful Wishes

This is a card that I made using the Delightful Wishes Bundle (#164710) from the 2025 Spring Mini Catalog.  The little embellishments on my card are Tiny Bee Trinkets (#164714).  They are so adorable!  I also used the Wood Textured Paper (#163770) from the Annual Catalog on page 100.  This card makes me think of Spring and I love the Floral & Gingham Vellum (#164700) that can be applied to the card with Stampin' Seal and it doesn't show through.  I love the yellow and blues together to make it a very Spring-like card.  It was inspired from Debra Harrison.  SHOP WITH ME
