Stamp Off DSP Challenge

Hey Crafters.  It's our first Stamp Off Challenge

for March.   Susan, Buffy and I are featuring cards with our

favorite Designer Series Paper.

When it comes to DSP, Stampin' Up! has a bunch of

lovely packs to pick from.  My favorite has got to be the 

Peaceful Poppies DSP on page 25 of the Jan -June 2020 

catalog.  This paper is so effective

as a stand-alone background, paired with your favorite

sentiment.  In this example, I used the 

So Sentimental bundle (So Sentimental Stamp set with

Stitched So Sweetly Dies) on page 20.  These products

are a perfect pairing.  

At church, I am changing up our name tags, by putting

the printed names on a DSP background.  I had to use some

of the Peaceful Poppies paper, because it was just too

stunning to keep to myself.  Now those name tags Pop!

Now that you've checked out my card, please

click on over to see the projects offered by

Buffy and Susan! 

Best Catch with Catch of the Day Dies

The Best Catch Bundle with Catch of the Day Dies

(on page 150), has got to be one of my favorites. 

Having been born and raised in Wisconsin, this is a

familiar scene.   Wisconsin fish really put up a

good fight.  In this example, I simply colored the lure 

and fish with blends and stacked the elements on the 

card.  I love the fact that you can color fish any way

that you want, so that any card stock can be used.

Honey Bee with Golden Honey DSP

Happy Monday!   I decided to buzz by with a

Honey Bee card.  That background layer comes from

the SAB Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series Paper.

I added gold foil, and a gold bee.  

It doesn't get any quicker than this, and is

perfect for a male birthday.  Sadly, you can't quite

see how flashy this card is.

So Sentimental with Stitched So Sweetly Dies

My biggest challenge in creating a card, is deciding

on which delicious Designer Series Paper to use.

For this project, I pulled out my See A Silhouette DSP

(page 166), because it sort of resembles confetti.

Then I combined this paper with the So Sentimental

Bundle (with coordinating Stitched So Sweetly Dies),

on page 20 of the Jan-June 2020 catalog.  I really like 

this sentiment for birthday cards and such!

Bonanza Buddies

These cute little guys are from the Bonanza Buddies

Bundle (with coordinating Bonanza Dies) on page 34.

They are great little animals for kid's cards.  They

have the faces that you can't resist, and the 3-D component

that makes them more interactive.

All Dressed Up Dies Bag

Last week, I posted a card using the

Dressed to Impress set, (Jan-June 2020, page 56) with 

the coordinating All Dressed Up dies.  You can see

that card here.   The All Dressed Up dies include

the option to make this cute little bag.  You create the

bag out of cardstock, rut it again with DSP and then

trim the DSP to fit the inner portions of the bag.

It is cute as a button, and fits several little candy

bars, fingernail polish or chap sticks.
