Splendid Day Specialty DSP

Finishing Up Friday – Splendid Day Suite

~ Karen Young

This week’s Finishing Up Friday uses leftover items from this recent Card & (Your) Cuppa project.

Today’s card is inspired by the project on Page 64 of the July-December Mini Catalogue.

It uses Petal Pink, Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake and Basic White.

Both the Stamp Set and Die Bundle, and the Splendid Day Specialty DSP are from the Splendid Day Suite.

I have stamped leaf images in my usual diagonal pattern across the project using Petal Pink and second generation stamping.

Then the sentiment is stamped and cut out using the Splendid Stems Dies.

A length of coordinating Petal Pink Soft Polyester Ribbon is stuck to the project.

Next, the pre-cut leaves, also from the Splendid Stems Dies are attached. The sentiment is then raised up on Dimensionals.

Finally a tiny bee, cut out from the DSP is added. This provides the project with a touch of sparkle.

July Customer Thank You Cards

~ Karen Young

As these have all been received, I can share my Customer Thank You Cards for those who shopped with me during July.

The basecard is a FREE SAB item. This is the Pool Party card from the Cards & Envelopes pack. Don’t forget that SAB items are only available until the end of this month (while stocks last).

Using the Splendid Thoughts Stamp Set and Splendid Stems Dies Bundle from the July-December Mini Catalogue, the leaves and shapes were stamped and cut. My leaves use Mint Macaron Cardstock and Ink.

Then, very gentle use of a Blender Pen on the stamped leaves just soften the white every so slightly.

Coordinating Splendid Day Specialty DSP provides the strip that sits in the background. This DSP really lives up to the splendid name. It needs to be seen in person to appreciate the full beauty.

A sentiment from the Sweet Songbirds Stamp Set sits on the semi-circle shape that creates the pot.

Using Dimensionals, the pot and a few of the leaves are raised up to give some depth to the project.

Finally, Brushed Brass Butterflies are added, two small and one large.

Last Week’s Card & (Your) Cuppa – Splendid Day Suite Collection

~ Karen Young

Last week’s Card & (Your) Cuppa project used items from the Splendid Day Suite Collection.

This fabulous new collection is in the July-December Mini Catalogue and contains a Stamp Set and Die Bundle, Specialty DSP, Ribbon and Embellishments.

For this project, I’ve used all of the items in the Suite, except the embellishments.

My colour combination of Soft Sea Foam, Fresh Freesia and Basic White is taken from the DSP.

This DSP is really difficult to photograph, so you’ll have to trust me when I say that it is simply gorgeous in the flesh.

Strips of the Specialty DSP create the background, with the foil side of some sheets and the non-shiny side for the others.

In the class packs there were strips from three sheets of the DSP. Even with this small number of sides to choose from, it was difficult to decide which pieces to use and where!

The strips were then joined by shapes cut using the coordinating Splendid Stems Dies from the Suite.

A length of the gorgeous Seam Binding Ribbon sits behind the sentiment.

The sentiment is from the Splendid Thoughts Stamp Set and cut out using the Lasting Label Punch. This punch is not part of the set!

Using Dimensionals, the sentiment is raised up to give some extra depth.
