Picture Perfect – Party DSP Cards

By | March 11, 2018

Hi there

As mentioned in yesterday’s post here are some cards using the really cool photographic side of the DSP pack.  This DSP pack makes it quick and easy to create a card – the DSP does all the work for you 🙂

This first card uses the fun balloon paper.  The DSP started out with the balloons being plain colours – I decided they needed some ‘texture’ to them so used two of the images from the Picture Perfect Birthday to create the ‘new look’ DSP – don’t be afraid to stamp on your DSP.  The centre balloon has the sentiment which is also from the same stamp set.

So that I didn’t go over the edge of the balloon I create a negative mask.  I placed a piece of Vellum over the balloons and traced around the edge then cut the balloon out and put that aside – it was the remainder of the Vellum that I used.  I then placed this over the paper to cover where I didn’t want ink and stamped away.  My DSP measures 9.5cm x 14.8cm, my Basic Black mat is 10cm x 14.8cn and these are adhered to a Peekaboo Peach base with dimensionals.

Next up is the Party Hat DSP – another brightly coloured paper.

The sentiment comes from the Celebrate You Thinlits Dies in the Sale-A-Bration brochure.  The neat thing with these Thinlits is that they are carrying over to the next Annual Catalogue (due out 1 June 2018).  You can earn these Thinlits up until 31 March if you place an order of NZD220 or more.

I’ve cut two of these out – one in Berry Burst and the other in Lemon Lime Twist and placed on one top of the other to create a shadow  before adhering to the card.  An easy way to adhere cut outs like this is to use the Multipurpose Adhesive sheets.  I adhere these sheets to the back of the card stock before I run it through the Big Shot – you may need to run it through an extra ‘roll’ or two to make sure it cuts through the adhesive sheet as well as the card stock.

The DSP for this card is 9.5cm x 13.8cm and the Basic Black mat is 10cm x 14.3cm.  The base is Lemon Lime Twist.

Check back again tomorrow as I have some more samples to show using the photographic images.

Until then …
