Daffodil Afternoon DSP - A Whole New Way!

How fun is this - we are in the last couple days of Sale-a-Bration (ends 2/28/2022); and I want to share a really cool way to use your DSP in more creative ways.  I was inspired by a post made by fellow demonstrator Janet Wakeland using the Daffodil Afternoon DSP (free during SAB with a $50 merchandise purchase). 

It is really lovey and I have used on several cards - but then take our new Naturals blends and add some neutral tones and you can get an entirely new look for your cards -

Adding the natural blends over the colors on the DSP give you an entirely different look - a bit vintagey  

Here is the card I made in today's facebook live - if you are on facebook you can watch my video here on how I placed colors - www.facebook.com/CrazyStampingLady/videos/1116160165865555   You an compare below the before on the left and the after on the card.

Prior to the video - I also made these two cards in a similar way - 

I really love they way they turned out.  But then I thought why not try to brighten the DSP - I used some of my brighter blends - Pumpkin Pie, Bermuda Bay, etc. and colored some of the flowers.  On the left was the original and on the right a colored piece - really changes the look.

I hope you liked this coloring tip - and use it to change up your DSP to make it more to your liking for whatever project you may want to do.  It's a game-changer.  Be sure to let me know if you try it, and what you think! ~Maureen

Instructions:

Adhere the Early Espresso layer to the Crumb Cake card base

2. Use a die from Horizon Dies to cut the ‘sand’ from So Saffron cardstock and adhere – use the grass die and Granny Apple Green cardstock to create the dune grass and adhere in place.

3. Use the sand die again to cut out a piece of Daffodil Delight cardstock – trim to size and adhere onto the grass with Stampin’ Dimensionals

4. Die cut the fence out of Crumb Cake cardstock, add a bow and adhere in place

5. Stamp the sailboat using Early Espresso Ink and the sails using Coastal Cabana Ink – use the Sailboat Punch to cut out the pieces – glue the boat in place and add the sails with Stampin’ Dimensionals

6. Stamp the seagulls at the left top and stamp the sentiment onto a scrap piece of white cardstock using Early Espresso Ink– cut out using a die from Tasteful Labels Dies and add to the card with Dimensionals

Paper Crafting Blog Hop February 2022 - Sale-a-bration and Anything But a Card Theme

 

Welcome to our Paper Crafting Blog Hop for February 2022 - featuring talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from all over the globe including the USA, United Kingdom and Australia. We have a wide array of fun projects and design styles to share with you this month - all spotlighting

projects that are Sale-a-bration Anything But a Card!

~*~*~*~*~

For my project I decided to use the Sale-a-bration free offering with a $50 purchase - Sunshine & Rainbows. This is such fun and whimsical paper - and can be used in so many ways.

I chose to made an adorable little treat package - perfect to hold many different offerings.

The Sun and Sentiment are from Kite Delight - a favorite out of the J-J Mini Catalog

This is such a simple little treat holder - here is a picture of my sketch from my notebook -

Just start with a 4" x 6" piece of DSP and score as indicated. Cut in on the two side score lines to the vertical score lines - then fold up and secure with adhesive.

This leaves you a cute, simple little box open on top, that you can fill. But I chose to add some candy and close mine up with a cute little clip I had - here are the components I used -

And here it is all finished and put together.

You can see how I pinched the sides in to made the little bag. I just love it and it is so easily reproduced with whatever you might have on hand.
