#DOswts329 - Bright Timeless Tulip Get Well


Welcome crafty friends to our Sketch Inspiration Hop.  The sketch we are using today is one of my go to sketches for card making.  I have used it often and it is a great way to use up those long scraps of DSP.  This card is all about being bright and cheery.  I used as many of colors from the Brights palate as I possible.

    • Brights 6x6 DSP 5/8" x 6" (3 strips)
  • Ink
    • Poppy Parade sentiment
    • Flirty Flamingo flowers

TIP:  The new Timeless Tulips Bundle was used to make this card.  It is part of the new Mini Catalog that launches on 3 January 2020.  It has sentiments for Easter, birthdays, hello, Mother's Day and loss.  It is perfect for spring and anyone that loves tulips.  If you would like a copy of the new Mini Catalog and Sale-A-Bration brochure, contact me for your free catalogs.

Customer Thank-you Card and Weekly Updates!!

Hey crafty friends!! Today's project is my customer Thank-you card for December.  At then end of each month I send a thank you card to my customers that have made a purchase during the month.  Finally, after several attempts I have found my go to design for my monthly card, it focuses on the DSP.  Today it is Christmastime is Here DSP, a lovely paper that is timeless.  The colors give is a Christmas vibe, but the patterns are suitable for many occasions.


Card Measurements:
Mossy Meadow 4 1/4" x 11", score and fold at 5 1/2", plus 4" x 4"
Merry Merlot 4 1/8 x 5 3/8"
Whisper White 
Christmastime is Hers DSP 4" x 5 1/4"
Dies: 
Thank-You Dies


Tip:  For this type of die, I like to stack it and make it stand out.  Usually I do that by die cutting two of the same color and gluing them together.  Because this DSP background is a bit busy I die cut one in Whisper White and off-set die-cuts a bit when I glued them together.  A Wink of Stella also helps make the sentiment stand out a bit.
