Blooms and Bliss DSP

Happy Wednesday – my days are all confused after the day off for Labor Day on Monday! Here’s a quick card that is easy to replicate and uses such a minimal amount of DSP that you could get 144 cards out of a single DSP pack. In this case, I’m using the Blooms and Bliss DSP – one of my favourite packs of DSP ever.

Blooms and Bliss DSP and endless birthday wishes

I started by using a 2 inch by 5.5 inch strip and then decided it was too wide and hacked off a bit – about a quarter of an inch. I’d cut my strip of island indigo to be 1/8 inch wider so I just put the DSP with the cardstock, got the edges the same and sliced away. This meant no measuring and only one cut and I still had my 1/16 inch border at the edges. Next I stamped the greeting which is from Endless Birthday Wishes in island indigo onto the thick white cardstock before constructing the rest of the card.

If I’d actually designed this card to use 1 3/4 inch of DSP and cut it that way to start with, I’d end up with 144 cards like this one and then I could make another 24 where the strip was just 1.5 inches wide which would work well too although would probably need a wider cardstock border. So there you go – 168 cards from one pack of DSP!

Don’t forget that it’s the last day of the Special Deals that I’ve been mentioning this week. Tomorrow we get a new set.

See you tomorrow,

Liz
