Silvery Simply Elegant Thanks

The pretty DSP does all the hard work for me on this project.

This is a piece of the Simply Elegant Specialty DSP. It has gold, silver and copper foil running through it.

As Smoky Slate is quite close to silver, I chose to use that for my accent pieces, along with Basic White.

Using the Hippo & Friends Dies, I used the Spotlight Technique to cut out a piece from the DSP, plus a layer piece from Smoky Slate.

A length of the coordinating Simply Elegant Trim in Silver sits across the project. This then has a triple loop bow attached with a Glue Dot.

Check out yesterday’s Top Tips, Tricks & Techniques video for a demonstration on tying multiple loop bows.

The Ornate Thanks Stamp Set provides the stamp set. This has ends shaped to mirror the die-cut pieces.

Finally, the sentiment is raised up using Mini Dimensionals.

Last Week’s Card & (Your) Cuppa – Simply Elegant Specialty DSP

For last week’s Card & (Your) Cuppa project, I did something slightly different.

As you can see, the base card is black, something I don’t do very often. However, it was the perfect colour to coordinate with the beautiful Simply Elegant Specialty DSP in the background.

The DSP is black with copper and silver foiling. These pictures don’t do it justice, it’s stunning in the flesh. It truly is the star of this project.

A bow sits to the side. This is quickly made by wrapping a length of Basic Black from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack around some looped Metallic Mesh. The combination of black and silver coordinate with the DSP.

Simply Elegant Specialty DSP

I couldn’t resist making one of my stripe designs to show off some of the patterns in this Simply Elegant Specialty DSP.

The packs of DSP in the new Annual catalogue are simply stunning.

As this is a Specialty DSP, it means that there are special elements running through it. In this case, some of the sheets have either gold foiling, silver foiling, or both.

I chose to use the sheets with Basic Gray elements for my stripe pattern and have combined these with Very Vanilla for a monochrome-type design.

The sentiment is from the Biggest Wish Stamp Set and this is set on top of some coordinating twine from the Well Suited Twine Combo Pack.

This Combo Pack is from the January-June Mini Catalogue. Items are only available until the end of June so make sure you don’t miss out!
