Grassy Grove with New Horizons DSP

 The card features the New Horizons DSP.  The New Horizons DSP

is great fun because you can combine it with elements from other 

stamp sets, especially backgrounds.   I added the trees

from the Grassy Grove bundle to this card.  I used the Rectangle Stitched dies to cut out the sentiment from Calming Camellia.  

Finally, I added a couple of Genial Gems to perk the card up.

Retired Kits with Hello Friendly

 I've been trying to reorganize and condense my crafting

area.  That means taking rubber stamps off blocks, donating

some sets to a local school and using retired kits to create

some cards for a friend.

For these projects, I used sentiments from the newly retired

Hello Friendly SAB set.  I love those sentiments, which

work for a variety of situations.

Waves of the Ocean with Sea Life Dies

 I love the fact that the Waves of the Ocean DSP works

well with a variety of current and retired SU products.

In this example, I used the Sea Life dies, on page 160.  I added

Granny Apple Green color with a  Blending Brush, taking

a cue from colors on the DSP.  The tail of the seahorse is

hooked around a strip of White Frayed Ribbon (page 33 in

the Jan-June 2022 Mini Catalog).

The sentiment was created with a Label Maker (P-Touch).  

I get frustrated trying to produce white embossing on black

cardstock, so for me, the labels work well.  I attached the label

to a thin strip of cardstock, so that I could use liquid glue.

This allowed me to move the sentient around, rather

than sticking it directly to the DSP, which might stick crooked.
