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.

Sorry I haven't been around much, this is what holidays do lol.  Coming up this Saturday is my Christmas in July Mega Class, I have 10 coming to it, and it should be so much fun I'm really looking forward to it, we're making 20 Christmas cards. I'll show you a little snippet...  Anyway that's not what I'm here for today, I'm here to show you how to put together your "tag" card, the tag is what I send you/ give you on your bag when you receive your order, then I pop in some other bits to make it into a card. So..... here is the tag you'll be receiving: And here is the end card The tag is cut out of the card to begin with, and the Stitched Rectangle Dies are fabulous in that they give you the stitched look on the outside and the inside (gotta love that) and there's heaps of them in the pack - well 13 seems like heaps! lol Anyway moving on... I have then stuck in another sheet of white behind the ...
