A pretty floral card made using the Petal Promenade dsp by Stampin' Up!

Using Designer Series Paper (dsp)

Posted on March 17, 2019March 16, 2019 by Mo Rootes

I don’t know about you but I buy our gorgeous Designer Series Paper (dsp). I admire it and stroke it and yes occasionally sniff it but I rarely use it………..what is that all about! So this year I have decided to do something about it. So with this in mind I got out thee beautiful Petal Promenade, found a sketch on Pinterest………I love Pinterest and set to work.

Making the Petal Promenade card

You will need;
Mossy Meadow card base
Calypso Coral 5⅝” by 3⅞”
DSP 5½” by 3 ¾”
Mossy Meadow 4⅜” by 2⅞”
DSP 4¼” by 2¾”
Whisper White 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Scrap Whisper White and Calypso Coral

I started by selecting the dsp patterns I wanted to use – one busy pattern and one fairly solid pattern and cut them down to the sizes above using my Trimmer.

Next I chose and scored my card base and cut my Calypso Coral and Mossy Meadow layers and rounded the upper right corner of all the pieces using the Detailed Trio Punch and adhered them together with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I stamped the sentiment from the Floral Frames stamp set in Mossy Meadow ink and stamped it onto scrap Whisper White cardstock and die cut it out using the Layering Circle framelit dies. I cut a slightly larger scalloped circle using the same set and a scrap piece of Calypso Coral cardstock. I glue these together with the Multipurpose Liquid Ahdhesive and added the sentiment to the layered pieces on Dimensionals.

The whole panel was then added to the Mossy Meadow card base with the multipurpose glue. I had a small Whisper White butterfly, punched out using the Butterfly Duet Punch, on my desk and added it to the card front with a Mini Glue Dot. The Basic Pearls were coloured using the dark Calypso Coral Blend pen and added to the butterfly and sentiment.

This is a really quick card; it took longer to choose the patterns to use than it did to make the card. I hope you like it.

A beautiful card made using the Delightfully Detailed dsp and the Butterfly Gala stamp set

Delightfully Detailed Butterfly

Posted on February 6, 2019February 4, 2019 by Mo Rootes

This is a sweet card I made for a friend who has been going through a difficult time lately; I just wanted her to know that I was thinking of her. I made it using some of the gorgeous Delightfully Detailed dsp and the Butterfly Gala stamp set.

Making the card

I started by cutting out a piece of the gorgeous Delightfully Detailed dsp using my Paper Trimmer. I added this piece to a slightly larger panel of Pool Party cardstock.

I stamped some of the pretty butterflies from the Butterfly Gala stamp set in Gorgeous Grape ink onto some scrap Whisper White cardstock and punched the butterflies out using the Butterfly Duet Punch. I coloured the butterflies in using the Highland Heather and Pool Party Markers. I added the butterflies to the panel with Mini Glue dots and added some Basic Rhinestones,

I added the whole piece to a Gorgeous Grape card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The sentiment from the same stamp set was stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock ½” wide and trimmed it to size before adding it to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

This dsp is so pretty and goes so well with this stamp set. I hope you like the card.

A Pop-Up Ferrero Rocher box made using the Santa's Workshop dsp by Stampin' Up!

Pop-Up Ferrero Rocher Treat Box for the Just Add Ink #439 challenge

Posted on December 25, 2018January 10, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing the little treat boxes I made to decorate our Christmas table. I saw a video recently by the Paper Pixie where she made this box, click on the link to watch her video. I have changed the cardstock, dsp and decoration.

To make the box you need;

Cardstock – 6⅝” by 4⅝” – I used either Poppy Parade and Garden Green

Designer Series Paper (DSP) – 6⅜” by 2⅜ – I used Santa’s Workshop

Making the box base

I used my Paper Trimmer to score the cardstock as some of the measurements were in sixteenths of an inch. Taking a piece of cardstock I scored on the long side at 1⁹/₁₆”, 3⅛”, 4 ¹¹/₁₆” and 6¼” and on the short side at 1 ⁹/₁₆” and 3¼”.
