So Sentimental for Best Dressed DSP

I may have some separation anxiety when the Best Dressed Designer Series Paper retires.  I absolutely love every pattern in this collection and feel like I haven’t even put a dent in it.  I have been using it, however with it being a 6 x 6 package, that’s quite a bit of pretty paper.

For today’s card share, I cased the layout from a sweet get well card I received earlier this year (pre-virus) from my good friend, Jeanie Stark at juststampin.com.  This card also came with the cutest jar of honey candy.  Jeanie is such a thoughtful friend and always has the best gift ideas.  I really liked the card layout and it’s been sitting front and center on my desk for months, as I knew I’d like to give it a go. Here’s Jeanie’s card…

This layout is very versatile and leaves a lot of room for interpretation.  I decided to try it both horizontally and vertically.

Materials & Measurements

• Colored card stock card base:  5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″
• Whisper White: 4″ x 5 1/4″
• Best Dressed DSP: 3 7/8″ x 3 1/2″
• 6 x 6 Color Family DSP: 3 7/8″ x 1 5/8″ (Petal Pink & Purple Posy)
• Petal Pink card stock: 4″ x 5 1/4″ (inside)
• Whisper White card stock: 3 3/4″ x 5″ (inside)

Details

The details are much the same for both orientations.  I’ve listed the colors and products in the Product List at the end of the post.  The Thank You card above is horizontal.

• Adhere Whisper White card stock to the colored card stock base.
• Glue both DSP patterns onto Whisper White panel leaving a 1/8″ border around
• Using a die from the Ornate Borders Dies, glue the scalloped border on the seam where the DSP meet.
• Trim the border with thin strips of colored card stock.
• Stamped the sentiments from the So Sentimental stamp set and crop with  coordinating dies from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.
• Pop each sentiment with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• I added a few sequins for a little shine.

• The DSP patterns are from the Subtles 6 x 6 DSP in Petal Pink and the Best Dressed Designer Series Paper.
• Card stock colors are Lovely Lipstick, Petal Pink, Whisper White and Old Olive.
• The sentiment is stamped in Lovely Lipstick ink.

• I trimmed the inside with strips of DSP, card stock and another scalloped border.  I love that we can embellish both the inside and envelopes for a totally coordinated card.  I think it’s also a nice surprise to open the card and see this.
• I left this card blank to write a personal note.

• The Get Well card is the exact same layout and measurements just turned vertically.
• The DSP patterns are 2019-2021 6 x 6 DSP in Purple Posy and Best Dressed Designer Series Paper.
• Card stock colors are Purple Posy, Petal Pink and Whisper White.
• The sentiment is stamped in Highland Heather ink.

• Again, I trimmed the inside with strips of DSP, card stock and another scalloped border die.
• The sentiment is from the Dandelion Wishes stamp set and is stamped in black ink.

As I said, I think this is a great card layout and I’m glad I finally put my “spin” on it.  Thanks Jeanie for the inspiration, thoughtful card and most of all wonderful friendship!

The So Sentimental stamp set and Stitched So Sweetly Dies are available now as a bundle for a 10% discount until June 2.  However, they’ll be sold separately in the new annual catalog on June 3.  Sadly, the Best Dressed Designer Series Paper will be retiring and is only available until June 2 or while supplies last.   HERE to see some pretty gift card holders I created using this DSP.
