• Punch 3 ovals out of the DSP
• Fold all 3 in half
• Cut a dovetail in the first one, you'll end up with 2 dovetail pieces. Set aside.
• On the other 2 folded ovals, put a dab of adhesive on the curved part and press together.
• Put the 2 units together with a dab of adhesive
• Adhere the 2 dovetail pieces to your bow piece, arranging them so they go past the folded ovals.
• Turn your piece and voilà!
• Cover the center area with an embellishment like a button, or a 1/2" circle punched out of cardstock.

Ink: Crushed Curry

Ribbon: Coastal Cabana 3/8" Ruffle Stretch Ribbon

Button: Faceted Designer Buttons

Tips!!

• Stamp the greeting first, just in case you make a mistake stamping later on, you won't waste all the DSP and your time :-)
• To make triangles out of DSP: cut strips of 4" x 1 1/2" and then cut them diagonally
• To make custom colored twine: use a dauber to hold the twine over your ink pad, and pull to die the twine. Continue until the whole piece is colored. It takes a few minutes to dry!  
• Use Sticky Strip to hold the ribbon

Sunburst Photo Tutorial:

Before you start: 

• Cut strips of DSP 4" x 1 1/2" and cut them in half diagonally. You'll need about 8 or 9.
• Cut a the base panel 5" x 3 3/4"
• Stamp your greeting first (see note above)
• Center it on your grid paper and place a extra wide Post It note across, hiding 1 1/2" from the bottom of the panel.

• Put Two Way glue or Snail adhesive all over the uncovered portion of the panel
• Starting on each side, line the first 2 pieces of DSP along the Post It note.
• Continue with the other strips. I did not overlap my triangles

• The last triangle may need to overlap the two next to it. If so, use a little Snail adhesive on each side. 

•  Turn the panel over and trim the excess DSP on all 3 sides.

• Voilà! 

• Put a strip of Sticky Tape along the edge and place the Ruffle Ribbon.
• Add a button and twine with glue dots.
• Use dimensionals to place the panel on your card.

I hope this will help. Email me if you have questions.

or more details about any of the projects, email me or call me.

Ink: Stazon Black, Old Olive, Watercolor Crayons
Big Shot: Framed Tulips Embossing folder
Accessories: Stampamajig, Blender Pens, Snail adhesive, Dimensionals

I used mostly Subtles watercolor crayons on my card, but Lynn made hers with the Brights crayons and it looked very good. Wish I had taken a photo...

Here's the card with the envelope stamped with another stamp from the Everybunny stamp set.

"Your choice" card and DSP Envelope

I had several stamps available for the greeting.

Note: I used Whisper White on my sample, but when I was looking through the DSP stack, it has Very Vanilla in it so I provided Very Vanilla cardstock for my stampers, and it works much better (see Dianne's card below)...

Stamp Set: Apothecary Art
Cardstock: Wisteria Wonder, Whisper White (but Very Vanilla works better!), Soft Suede
DSP: Everyday Enchantment (Sale-A-Bration)
Ink: Early Espresso ink pad, Markers: Pool Party - Calypso Coral - Lucky Limeade
Punch: Eyelet border
Big Shot:  Labels Collection Framelits
Accessories: Basic Pearls Jewels, Stampamajig, Snail adhesive, Dimensionals

This is the front of the envelope made with the Simply Scored Diagonal Plate.

I love this new addition to the Simply Scored Scoring Tool. 

I like how by using DSP, which is double-sided, you can make nice envelopes very quickly.  

Inside the envelope.

Dianne was very happy with her card, and she should be! It turned out beautiful. 

She used the Calypso Coral and the Wisteria Wonder markers on her flowers.

Here's a closer look.... very nice!!

(the greeting is from Delightful Dozen)

Ink: Melon Mambo, Elegant Eggplant

Cardstock: Whisper White
