I have used the Lily Pond Lane DSP a few times. Today I pairing with the stamp bundle it coordinates with. That tis the Charming Duck Pond Bundle. This is another card that I cased from the Annual Catalog, but changed up to work for my Club.
Stamp Bundle
The Charming Duck Pond Bundle includes some awesome ducks, greenery, sentiments, and a few extras. And the matching Dies are just as great. My favorite probably is that there are two ducks facing opposite directions. This allows you to cut the ducks from the DSP easily and create fun cards. Since this card was for my Club, I opted to use one of the different ducks for my card and saved the two with matching dies for the club ladies. And I love fussy cutting, so this was not a big sacrifice for me!
The frog has a matching die, but I chose to stamp directly on the White piece. And I love the sentiment. This is great for so many occasions. The font is great as well! This greenery and flowers, although I think they are really water lilies, are great. Each of the three dies create two of the item. So less cutting is always a good thing. I added the extra of the larger flower on the inside of the card for a small extra touch there.
Papers
The DSP here are from different packs of paper but work perfectly together. The background orange speckles is from Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper. Because I have a large club, I went to a 12 X 12 pack as the Lily Pond DSP is only 6 X 6. But I do not believe anyone would question this pairing of orange colors. And the gorgeous orange and cat tails paper is from the Lily Pond Designer Series Paper. Since this is a 6 X 6 paper, I cut each sheet into 3 X 3. It needed to be larger, but there was not enough paper. I improvised by placing it higher up on the card and then adding the Basic White a bit taller to make up the difference. No one would know if I didn’t tell on myself!!
The card base is Pretty Peacock that is cut to 4 1/4 X 11. With the orange DSP at 3 1/2 X 4 3/4. I already said the cat tails DSP is 3 X 3 and the Basic White is 3 X 1 1/2. For the Die cut greenery I went back to the Pretty Peacock and added flowers of Petal Pink.
Finishes
To complete the card I added a single Adhesive Backed Dapple Dots near the duck. I raised the duck using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Also I only adhered the cat tails at the bottom. Then added the flowers using a glue dot on each. That further secured the cat tails without having a sticky mess. And I can easily do that trying to add adhesive to a tiny place.
