Quick card with the Violet Dreams DSP

July 14, 2026

Here’s the second card I made featuring the Violet Dreams suite. I shared it during last week’s video.

It showcases the pretty Violet Dreams DSP seen here. There are 3 pieces from the DSP on this card: the violets die-cut, the striped frame and the green DSP strip. This DSP has 2 sheets of die-cut ephemera included in the package. I love that; it opens up so many options when creating.

Besides the DSP I added the White layer behind the frame, the Hydrangea Hue ribbon and rhinestones. So quick!

Here’s the free project sheet for this card; click here.

Look closely at the coordinating colors on this card. Stampin’ Up! makes it so easy to create with perfectly matching colors. It’s my very favorite thing about SU.
I used the violets as the starting point and simply repeated each color once or twice on my project for a wonderfully cohesive look.

Tip: If you struggle with color coordination pick two colors and repeat them at least once if not twice on your project. This works!

Check out the video below where I shared on more pretty card featuring DSP strips.

The kit includes these Stampin' Up! products – a share of each – Everyday Happiness DSP, the Iridescent gems & Lost Lagoon cording. You'll want to have the Pretty Peacock ink and greeting images. I used the With You in Mind and Layering Leaves sets but you can substitute others easily. *Add on $40 in product to your kit order and choose a free SAB item!

The pre-cut kit includes all card bases, layers and punched or die-cut pieces. You will need a paper trimmer for your new DSP.

Beautiful DSP Diamond Gatefold card with video & free project sheet

February 11, 2025

I shared this pretty fun fold card on last week's Live video. You can see it here or scroll down a bit.

Save

It features the Spring Corners bundle seen here and the Bloom Impressions DSP from our Sale-a-Bration promotion. This DSP can be seen here. It's free with any $60 purchase! Unfortunately it's in low inventory status and may be gone soon. I love it and thought it was one of our best offerings.

Save

The Spring Corners set is one of my new favorites; I love the unusual corner style greetings and other images but the dies are special too! As you can see in the front panel I die-cut the coneflower image and then replaced the flower centers with Melon Mambo pieces. So easy and a fun trick!

Save

Here's how it looks when it's opened below. Notice the greeting is in two lines horizontally. I cut the 'corner' shaped stamp set at the corner point so I could have a normal inside greeting. When I want to use it as a corner stamp it easily fits back together on my block again.

Bright Borders fun fold with Bloom Impressions DSP

February 10, 2025

We made these pretty cards at my Clubs in January. I featured the Bright Borders stamp set with the To the Point punch and the Sale-a-Bration Bloom Impressions DSP.

Save

Unfortunately the To the Point punch is out of stock and isn't expected to be back until April! I was worried about this when I saw it was in low inventory.

The gorgeous Bloom Impressions DSP is a free choice during Sale-a-Bration and is also in low inventory. If it does run out it's possible they'll turn off the item number if they cannot get more in stock before the end of February. So grab yours here now!

This is a fun fold card – sometimes called a 'back-fold'. The far right inside is scored so it can bend backwards. The greeting layers are adhered to that side and hold the card closed. It's a great way to show off our coordinating colors in our beautiful designer papers.
