How to use up those DSP strips! Video & free project sheet

July 13, 2026

I shared this pretty card on last week’s Live video. It’s a great way (and easy too) to use up those scraps of DSP you’re saving.

Here I used the Violet Dreams DSP along with the Framed Violets bundle & Highland Heather ink.

I started out with 1/2″ thick strips of DSP and adhered the first to a Peaceful Pine CS layer at an angle. Then simply continue to add more strips leaving a space between each. Trim off the excess on all edges and adhere to a larger Peaceful Pine CS layer.

Adhere to your card base, add a greeting and die-cut accents and you’re done!

I created a free project sheet with photo, measurements and directions. Click here to print it or download it.

And below is the video tutorial for this card and one more using the Violet Dreams suite seen here.

Gorgeous Leaves paired with the Timber embossing folder

October 1, 2021
Today I get to share two cards made by my talented Team members who used the beautiful Gorgeous Leaves bundle seen here. I shared a bunch earlier this week as well. Click here to see them.

First is a beautiful card made by Marilyn. Her colors include Crumb Cake, Cajun Craze, Old Olive & Crushed Curry.

Save

It's hard to see in this photo but after she stamped the background she ran it through the die-cutting machine with the Timber embossing folder.

Her die-cut leaves are darker than the normal hues since she sponged the corresponding color over each one. Neat effect!

Measurements:
- Crumb Cake 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
- Cajun Craze 3 3/4" X 5" & Stitched So Sweetly die-cut 2 1/2" X 3 5/8"
- Vanilla 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" & 2 1/8" X 3 1/4"

Next is a lovely card made by Deloris. She also used the Timber embossing folder seen here.

She also added a strip of the Cork specialty paper. This paper can be found in the Holiday catalog on page 55. It sure adds a neat touch to autumn or men's cards!

Save

Her colors include Early Espresso, Cajun Craze & Bumblebee.

Measurements:
- Early Espresso card 5 1/2" x 8 1/2"
- Cajun Craze 3 3/4" X 5"
- White 3 1/4" X 4 1/2"
- Cork 1" X 4 1/2"
- Bumblebee 1/4" X 4 1/2" strip
