Something Saturday - DSP & Blends

Image
 Hi There Creators Today I thought I'd show off an idea that Claire our Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Development Manager showed us in a workshop the other day, I took it a bit further in one of my cards, let me know which card is your favourite! If you'd like to see all the goodies I used on these cards click here:  DSP & Blends Turtles Cards Here are the cards I ended up creating The first 2 I've just used the blends to go round each of the images on the designer paper, I really love the way the images get highlighted from it, almost a "stained glass effect" This first card I also used the blend on the white card base under the Designer Paper to give a border This second card I used the Blend around the edge of the Designer paper to draw a line  (I did use a ruler to do this!) again to create a border. Then this last one I've gone round the edges again with the darker Pool Party blend, but then blended in the lighter one in all the gaps. I actually did g...

But Wait there's more Bigshot creations.....

Hi Everyone,
At the end of the last post I did say I'd be adding another one using up some of the bits that we created the other day (admittedly a couple of these are ones I'd created before the class, but as they Oooh'd and Ahhh'd over them appropriately, I thought I'd best share with the wider world too 😁
First up using the Butterflies Thinlits dies. All these cards use the partial cutting technique.

and this one uses theStarBlast Edgelits 



 I did take another photo closeup of the die cut bit, here it is!
It's made up as an Easel Card, so the die cut pops out of the top (might need to create a stamp for this one too, as I did think it would look pretty cool with the die cut stamped into the gap on the card!).... thinking on that one......!

Moving onto this last card to show you today, again using the Butterflies thinlit die, as a partial cut I've added silver foil cardstock behind it and I'm not sure the photos really do it justice, but wow, it's amazing! the foil reflects back the colours, like a mirror, behind the Designer Series Paper (which of course are the colours that are on the edge of the card - having folded the edges back to show them), I've taken a couple more photos to see if I can show you it a bit better:

What do you think?  I'd love to hear your comments, or if you've tried anything like this before.
There's still 2 more dates left in May for my Making the Most of your Bigshot class, where I'll be teaching this technique, do let me know if you're interested!
And I hope this has inspired you to Create!
God Bless love
