I was having fun at the recent crop and made a few boxes to fit some cards. Which meant that I needed to make sets of cards! For one of them I turned to the Moroccan DSP which is gorgeous and reminds me so much of some of my trips to Spain, in particular the Alhambra which is beyond words stunning. Having mentioned the Alhambra, I feel a bit odd introducing just a card, but the patterns really do fit.

I cut a strip, a fairly random width and then a piece of early espresso 1/8 inch larger so that I got a really thin mat. After I had that glued together I put it onto a very vanilla card base for positioning and then stamped my sentiment in early espresso. It’s from Endless Birthday Wishes and it’s always sensible to stamp the sentiment early in case of issues. This way you can recover. At it happens, it was perfect and I could glue the paneled piece onto the card base.

I cut another piece of the DSP 2 1/8 by 6 inches so that I could glue it to the envelope flap and snip off the excess. And there we have it – a masculine birthday card and one, moreover, that isn’t just navy and brown! The Moroccan DSP is going to be very useful for birthday cards for the IT department. 🙂

See you tomorrow,
