Bright & Beautiful DSP Archives

Last week’s Card & Cuppa project used items from the Bright & Beautiful Suite Collection.

This discounted Suite Collection contains the Bright & Beautiful Stamp Set and Dies Bundle, plus the Bright & Beautiful 6×6 DSP Stack. These items are used in my design. There is also some Specialty DSP in the Suite too that I haven’t used here.

The colours in the DSP stack helped me to choose my colours for the layer and stamping. I chose Blueberry Bushel and Lemon Lime Twist, along with Basic White.

This project is one of my angles designs and they are great for men, teenagers and anyone who is normally difficult to make for. They are also really quick and simple to make too.

To begin, a background is stamped in Lemon Lime Twist using one of the images from the Beautiful Balloons Stamp Set.

Three strips of DSP are then cut at the same width, but two different lengths. They are stuck to the stamped background at various angles.

Offcuts from the DSP strips are used to cut out the stars and balloon shapes.

A sentiment, also from the Stamp Set is stamped and cut out using the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch from the Online Exclusives.

Another item from the Online Exclusives is the length of ribbon from the Gold & Silver Trim Combo Pack, which is made into a swoosh.

The sentiment sits on top with Dimensionals with the die cut shapes positioned and stuck down.

Finally, some coordinating Neutrals Adhesive-Backed Sequins in silver are added. These sequins have more of a matte finish, so provide less of a ‘blingy’ effect.

Today I’m sharing my first Christmas Card Club project of 2023.

Christmas Card Club is where those who have signed up make 2 of a pre-designed card using the class kit and instruction from a YouTube video tutorial. The projects are made in their own time with a new video released on the 25th of each month (July-November).

For July’s project, I chose to make some Christmas baubles.

Using the Bright & Beautiful 6×6 DSP for the baubles meant that I had many colours to choose from. As I wanted a green shade, I chose Pretty Peacock for my basecard and stamping layer.

First a splat design from the Quiet Meadow Stamp Set was stamped tone-on-tone on the background piece.

Next the lengths of Parakeet Party Metallic Woven Ribbon were added.

Then, punched circle shapes were covered with strips of the Bright & Beautiful 6×6 DSP, with the overhang carefully trimmed away. This leaves lots of scrap pieces to make some more baubles.

These were then stuck over the lengths of ribbon, with the central bauble raised up on Dimensionals.

Finally, a bunny ears bow was added to the top of the central bauble.

The process is then repeated for the second card.
