I’m sharing a card with you today that you can literally make in minutes! Well, it took me a while because I thought I had the stamp set that goes with this gorgeous DSP and these amazing dies, and I tore apart my craft room looking for it. Then I finally looked up my order history, and realized I did not order the stamp set (guess what will be on my next order?)
Letting the DSP do most of the work is the secret to making these gorgeous cards. This Lily Impressions DSP (did I mention it’s FREE during Saleabration?) is a great choice. I added die cuts from the coordinating Lily Pad dies (also FREE!), and a punch with a sentiment from the classic Colorful Seasons Stampin set.
I added some Silver thread and Voila! Finished card! Look for more “Make It In Minutes” blog posts in the coming weeks that will feature quick and easy cards. Make sure you are subscribed to my blog so you don’t miss anything!
Tips and Tricks:
- Card Base Lovely Lipstick 8-1/2 x 5-1/2, scored at 4-1/4, DSP layer 4x5-1/4
- Choose colors from the DSP for ink colors and die cuts (here my lilies and the strip use Lovely Lipstick and Flirty Flamingo, ink color is Lovely Lipstick)
- Add a strip of DSP to the inside of your card, and also the envelope! My inside piece (not pictured) was 4x3/4.
- To add DSP to the envelope flap, cut DSP to 6 x 2-1/2, apply liquid glue to flap, adhere DSP, then fussy cut around edge of flap to remove excess.
- Another time saving tip-cut several dies at once. I ran all of the Flirty Flamingo dies through at one time on the same piece of cardstock. Some of you didn’t know you could do that, did you? Same for the Lovely Lipstick pieces.
Love,
Nina
