I was making up some demo cards using the gorgeous Stitched With Cheer kit ready for my December classes. I love that the kit includes kraft envelopes and dsp liners but noticed that a good 3” of the liner was hidden inside the envelope, so I cut it off. I used these off cuts to make simple cards.
I cut the 3” strips of dsp in half to give me 6 pieces 1½” by 5½”. Using the Triple Banner Punch I pennanted the ends of all the strips. I then cut the strips into different lengths.
For the first card I sewed the strips together at the top with gold baker’s twine and tied a bow on the right side. I added the sewn piece, using dimensionals, to a Whisper White card base and added a sentiment from he Stitched With Cheer stamp set in Emerald Envy ink. This card was then entered into our monthly team challenge – this month’s theme is ‘stitching’.
I wrapped some Emerald Envy Bakers Twine at the top of the remaining 3 strips and tied a bow before adding to a Crumb Cake card base. The same sentiment and ink colour was used.
We all have off cuts from pieces of dsp that we can’t bear to throw away, crafters are notoriously thrifty!!!
I hope you like these projects and thank you for stopping by. Come again soon
