I have a simple Fun Fold that is perfect for a 6X6 piece of DSP, and the Spotlight On Nature Dies. Actually it takes less than a 6X6 size. With Paper Shares having just gone out, this is a great use for new and older DSP. I believe we all have a stash of DSP!! LOL!!!
Paper
The Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper has definitely been a favorite for me to use. I am partial to purples and this fits that bill for sure. But the mix of greens for the leaves are fabulous as well. Shaded Spruce, Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock, You cannot beat those colors and especially when mixed together. Plus the background of the papers is a lean towards Basic Beige and Crumb Cake. So either works well. For today’s card I went with Basic Beige as the card base and then layers of Basic Beige and Pretty Peacock. I have all of the measurements listed further down in the post.
Dies
The DSP is beautiful but the Dies may actually take the “spotlight” on this card. Did you catch the double meaning there? Spotlight On Nature Dies are what I used. They are layering circles that have a couple of different details around the edges. I chose to use all the same edge details. There are quite a few sizes and I simply layed out a few on top of each other to see what sizes I wanted to use. No heavy debating was used, just what seemed to fit. Here is a look at the open card and the large inside Die.
Stamps
The card is fairly simple but I did go a bit overboard on my sentiments. I have So Sincere and Loveliest Tree sentiments. The front Happy Birthday is from Loveliest Tree and the inside one is from So Sincere. Then to add yet another, I used the floral stamp from Painted Lavender for the front sentiment piece to add some of the purple flowers. Mixing and matching sentiments helps me get more use of my stamps. They do not always have to be used as a set. It took me a while to learn that!
Measurements
The Basic Beige card stock base is 4 1/4 X 5 1/2. And the DSP is 6 X 5 1/4 then scored at 2″. You need to decide ahead of time which side you want as the front flap before scoring. Especially f it is directional paper, you could end up with an upside down pattern. I did add a strip of Pretty Peacock at 1/2 X 5 1/4. But this could be a ribbon as well.
