May Club- DSP

May club was lots of fun.  We focused on the Designer Series Paper promotion that is going on this month.  The deal is buy 3 get on free on any of our Designer Series Paper, Designer Prints Paper and Textured Card-stock.  I love our DSP so I’m really excited about this promotion.  It ends May 31st so there is still time for you to get in on this great  promotion.

May '09 ButerflyThe paper that I chose to showcase is the the Walk in the Park from the Occasions Mini Catalog.  I used the layout design from page 6 of the mini catalog as my inspiration.  Because I was making a two page layout I actually split the design across the two pages.  I wanted to use the Textured card-stock so I used it as the pieces that were punched.  It adds a nice texture to the page.  Both the large butterfly and the forever card-stock were cut out with the big shot.

May '09 Buterfly FriendI also created a card that matched the theme from the pages.  Remember that when you are using DSPyou can use it as just an accent on your page or card.  You don’t need to make the entire project out of it.  One of my favorite parts is how fun the butterfly looks under the ribbon.  You may have noticed the words in the oval.  The original saying is thank you.  We used the markers to color just the edge and the butterfly.  Then we used “Friend” from Fundamental Phrases to add the word.  This technique is great to make a variety of different cards with any saying that you want.

 

 

May '09 Buterfly Die CutThis last card was a design that I cased from a card we made at Amy’s meeting last month.  I loved the layout and thought it would work great with the DSP.  As you can see I’ve only used the DSP for the butterfly and the small background pieces behind it.  Because the DSP is thin you can actually corner round all three of the small strips at the same time.

Technique Tuesday 3-3-09

Let me introduce you to a fun friend of my that most people forget about.  I have to admit I forget about him all the time to.  Then I saw a post on a blog that reminded me of this great friend and tool.  His name is Mr. Crimper and he really does a wonderful job.  He is so easy to use and can sometimes add just the right touch to a project.  All you do is put the paper in squeeze the handle and turn the knob.  If you want just the center then put the paper part way through and only turn a few turns then release.  It’s that easy.  If you would like to try out this fun tool just give me a call and we can set up a workshop for you and your friends 435-245-5321.

I picked these two cards because I love how they used the crimper to crimp just a part of the card. 

happiness-butterfiles-cardThis card was created by my awesome up-line Janice Barlow.  We made it at Brandi’s Meeting.  I think it’s fun how we crimped just a part of the bottom when it ties into the slit not punch.  If you want an easy way to line up the butterflies be sure to try the Stamp-a-ma-jig®.

Products Used:
111564 Flight of the Butterfly $31.95
111372 Kiwi Kiss 5/8″ Striped Grosgrain Ribbon $9.95
101618 Crimper $19.95
104388 Slit Punch $5.95
106958 Cutter Kit $16.95
111644 Heard from the Heart $22.95

Colors- Apricote Appeal, Kiwi Kiss, Regal Rose, Tangerine Tango, Whisper White

honey-crimped-cardThis card was created by my new Leadership friend “B” Schreiber from Oregon.  I really love how she crimped in the middle of the paper to add just that extra touch.  I saw a card where they used this same set and crimped the beehive after stamping it.  It was very effective and cute.   I was created by Melanine Williams in our group.

Products Used:

101618 Crimper $19.95
113228 Just Buzzin’ By $27.95
109070 Whisper White Taffeta $6.95
104832 Black Gingham $7.50

Colors- Pumpkin Pie, Summer Sun, Whisper White, Basic Black, Creamy Caramel, More Mustard, Close to Cocoa

big-shot-basketAnother fun way to use the crimper is to crimp a sheet and then cut it up to use as filling in a basket or box.  You can use a paper cutter or I just bought a really cheep paper shredder from Walmart.  You want the kind that just does long cuts and now double cutting.  Then I just crumple them all up before I put them in the basket so that the go every which way.  I love this quick and easy technique.
