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.

Thoughtful Journey Suite showcased by Judith; our Artist of the Month

June 6, 2024
Each month one of my Flowerbug's Team is featured as an Artist of the Month. This month Judith chose the Thoughtful Journey suite to showcase.

Today I'm sharing a few of her pretty cards.

This card has is a fancy fold card that has two folds. The Pretty in Pink card base is cut off at an angle and DSP is added. The White front layer is actually a folded piece that folds down over the front diagonal layer. Very cool and not difficult either.

Save

Measurements:
- Card base – 11" X 4 1/4" scored at 5 1/2". Then trim off the front half on the diagonal from bottom left to upper right.
- White 8 1/2" X 3" scored at 4 1/4"
- DSP 5 3/8" X 4 1/8" cut in half on the diagonal
You can see the Thoughtful Wishes bundle here. It's on sale now – 20% off in June!

The pretty Thoughtful Journey designer paper is unavailable right now but should be back around June 24th.

Next is a unique fun fold card I haven't seen before.

She used two pieces of the same DSP and fussy cut the top layer to add it over the lower with Stampin' Dimensionals. The right side flap folds in towards the center.

Save

She used the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set on the inside. So pretty!!

Measurements:
- Petunia Pop card base 7 3/8" X 5 1/2" scored at 1" and 4 1/4".
- DSP – front is4 1`/4" X 5 1/2" and left side is 3 1/8" X 5 1/2"
- White inside 3" X 5 1/4"
Lastly today is a neat idea with scenic designer paper – add a frame to highlight the scene.

Save

Judith added a frame made from the Perennial Postage dies seen here.

A simple greeting an an extra die-cut and you're card is done. Letting the pretty designer paper work for you is so smart!

Under the Moon scenic card with free project sheet & video

June 4, 2024

Today I'm sharing the second project I made on last week's video – both feature the beautiful Under the Moon stamp set. It's a scene builder which can be so fun to create with.

Save

My colors include Night of Navy, Azure Afternoon, Peach Pie & Pool Party.

You might wonder what die the Navy shape is around the greeting. It's from the Unbounded Love dies – it's a small greeting shape that I cut in half and added to each side.

The large white die is from the Deckled Rectangle dies. The greeting die and the fun Navy shaped die are both from the Unbounded Love bundle seen here. It's one of my new favorites.

Save

Here's the video of the inside of these two cards. One birthday and one sympathy – these stamp sets are both so versatile!

Here's the free project sheet you can download &/or print: Download May '24 Under the Moon Club

Below is the video for this card tutorial and the other shown above. I hope you watch it to see how easy it is to create with this beautiful stamp set.
