This weekend I also got to finally play with the new Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper which is on sale this month=\] I fell in love with the gorgeous colours and patterns so I couldn’t resist featuring it!

This sweet card has such a simple layout that it can be used for many occasions – just switch up the sentiment you use! In fact, you can easily use this layout with any paper, stamps and edging dies you already have at home. Here’s a few variations I made today…

The middle card is made with Night of Navy ink, cardstock and ribbon. The one on the right has a sentiment from the Courage & Faith Stamp Set which is embossed in white on a simple rectangle cut from the Blueberry Bushel cardstock. All feature edge-cuts on the Basic White Thick cardstock from the Elegant Borders Die Set.

The video below shows how to assemble this card step by step. I’ve also included in this blog post the directions for an metric A6 size card (a common size here in Australia) and directions in Imperial measurements for making it as a USA A2 size card, which is similar. There is also complete supply list with links to my Stampin’ Up! Store.

Assembly

1. Affix DSP to cardbase.
2. Die cut the edge from the small white cardstock piece (the 38mm x 143mm piece).
3. Emboss your sentiment (and frame if you’re using the Handmade Hugs stamp set) on the scrap piece of cardstock with VersaMark. Cover with embossing powder, shake off excess, and set with heat tool. Set aside to cool down.
4. If attaching ribbon through ribbon slots (like in the examples here), then punch the ribbon slots using the Very Best Trio Punch (see video for some tips!). Attach ribbon to the edge cut piece of white cardstock from step 2. Affix the bow with a Mini Glue Dot.
5. Affix the front white cardstock (from steps 2 and 4) to the DSP, aligning the top, bottom and left edges.
6. Punch out the sentiment tag using the Handmade Tag Punch (alternatively cut whatever shape/size you want with scissors or a die).
7. Affix sentiment to card front to the right of the white edge piece. You can affix it flat or raised. I decided to affix it with Dimensionals so th raised profile would add some dimension to the card.
8. Affix the last piece of white cardstock to the inside of the card. Optional: punch fancy corners on the cardstock before affixing it. I used the Very Best Trio Punch for this.
9. Optional: affix some embellishments on the cardfront. For one of the examples in the photos above, I used some flat backed sequins and some glue to scatter a few around the card. The DSP is so beautiful that it really doesn’t need embellishment but the sequins added a nice touch without ‘competing’ with the background.
10. Finished!!!
