Another sample using DSP strips; the pretty Velvet Meadow DSP

July 16, 2026

I shared a card using a strips technique a few days ago and wanted to share the card that inspired it today.

Here are the products I used: Velvet Meadow DSP, Bubble Bath, Berry Burst & Peaceful Pine CS. The greeting is from the Flowering Meadow stamp set and the scalloped tags are from the Scalloped Blooms dies seen here.

When using up your strips you can adhere them diagonally across your card stock, leaving a small space between each. Once this CS is filled in, trim off the excess on the edges.

The Velvet Meadow specialty paper has a fuzzy, flocked feel to the flowers and some leaves. It’s luxurious! Check it out here.
I fussy cut the flower and leaves to add to the greeting.

Artist of the Month projects with the Bag of Bones suite!

October 13, 2023

Our Artist of the Month for September was Candy who chose the Bag of Bones bundle. She did an incredible job on her projects!

Save

The suite is no longer available because the Glow in the Dark bats & ghosts have been discontinued. This means you can still get everything else individually.

First is a card showing off both the Bag of Bones bundle and the Them Bones designer paper.

Save

She tore her paper and pieces it on her card base. Then she stamped the skeleton using Versmark onto Black card stock heat embossing it with White embossing powder. Love the boots and hat on him! The circles are die-cuts from the new Deckled Circle dies in the 2023 Holiday catalog.

Here's the Them Bones designer paper:

Save

Next is a neat monochromatic card in Basic Gray and Gray Granite. She stamped the background with the skeleton bones!

Save

The tombstone, fence, bats, cat and dog are all die-cuts from the Bag of Bones bundle. The dog and cat are stamped on our Glow in the Dark specialty paper. You must use Stazon in for this or it may run. She sponged on gray ink onto the tombstone and fence for a 'spooky' look.

Next is a cute treat holder made with that same tombstone die-cut. She simply added a few strips of card stock inside the two die-cuts to create a pouch.

This card is so fun; she featured a panel from the Them Bones designer paper to show off the dancing skeleton. Love his suspenders, hat and bow tie!!

Save

These skeletons are all heat embossed with White embossing powder onto Black card stock. You can see a few of the glow in the dark bats and ghosts here. Unfortunately they are sold out now and will not return.

Here's a slimline card showing off more of the Them Bones designer paper. Her colors are Basic Gray, Pumpkin Pie and Cajun Craze.

Save

Isn't it cute how the skeleton on the bottom has his dog on a leash?!

This next card shows off a neat background effect. She used the Deckled Circle dies

Save

The background is made by sponging on the houndstooth mask (Abundant Beauty decorative masks) then debossed it with the Distressed Tile embossing folder. She then dragged the Blackberry Bliss ink pad across it. Cool!

Didn't she create a fabulous group of projects. She truly showcased this Halloween suite wonderfully! Fantastic job Candy!!!

Pick of the Patch Diamond Flap fun fold card.

October 12, 2023

I created this super fun card on a video a few weeks ago. It features the Pick of the Patch stamp & punch bundle and Them Bones designer series paper.

Save

I was inspired by a card my friend Susie Wood made and sent to me. She is fabulous at designing fun fold cards and an amazing designer. Check out her blog here.

She used the same designer paper and the Leaf Fall embossing folder but her stamp set is Cheers to the Season seen here.

Save

Here's the inside view. You can see the Leaf Fall embossing folder here.

This card starts out at 10 1/2" X 4 1/4" and with a few score lines and a trim of the end points, you'll achieve this neat fun fold.
