A card by Rachel Tessman on Pinterest inspired today's card. The "blue" clouds were fussy cut from a sheet of dsp. The cloud with the sentiment is different because I don't have the cloud punch.  I do have dies that are very similar in shape.  I wanted to use this sentiment and it did fit nicely onto a portion of the die cut.  To balance it, I added a small cloud die cut on the left side.

Thank you for coming by today.  I have three more rainbow cards for tomorrow.

These two cards were made using retired SU paper and stamps.  The clouds above the rainbows matched the set very well but are from PaperTreyInk (I think).  I'll have more cards using thee papers and stamps over the next two days.

Thank you for coming by today!

One year when I was with a group in Ankeny IA. I found this 12 x 12 sheet of dsp.  It was so colorful but when I ran across it recently it was one of those "what was I thinking?" moments! These three cards were the best I could do. The reverse side had a bunch of "shirts" so I cut one out to use on the first card.


 What do you think?

The focal point is added with dimensionals on to three embossed strips.



  
These four cards were actually made after a video I saw.  The video will be revealed on my July 9 post. I'm posting these out of order from when they were made to show more of this dsp being used.  Have I got you courious?  Be sure to check back in a few days.

This book binder card was made while I still had the Hand-Penned Design dsp on my table from yesterday's collection from Karen Titus.  This is another great format to use if you have some smaller pieces of pretty paper to use up.

Thank you for coming by today!

SEVEN CARDS INSPIRED BY KAREN TITUS

I could spread these cards out over more than one post but they were all made following the directions on a video from Karen Titus

After making these cards, I have only a small amount of piece left from this pack of Hand-Penned Design.  Using the dsp to decorate the envelope flaps was also a big help!

Thank you for coming by today!
