Sunny Sentiments card set in a box #2

Using a sentiment only stamp set allows you to let the DSP to be the star of the show. 

I created a set using The Sweet Symmetry DSP as part of display for my last class, you can find that post here.

This is the same idea using the Bloom Where You're Planted DSP- it's so easy to use. Here you can see the box lying on its side containing the envelopes and 2 of the cards.


For the thinking of you card I stamped the Sunny sentiments on the inside.
Each sentiment is used once in the set, the only other stamping is on the envelopes. All other plants are fussy cut from the DSP. Minimal supplies, maximum effect.



The Cello bags are the perfect size, it's a snug fit so you don't want any height in your embellishments on the front of the box, Seal the base with some washi tape and use mini glue dots to hold the top corner "ears" folded down onto the side of the pack- just like wrapping a present. And this is the perfect gift all ready to go!

Envelope Dies perfect for an Acetate Tent card and some new DSP

After creating yesterday's cards I was on a roll and created this one using the beautiful Gilded Autumn DSP and the Fancy Phrases stamp set.  I really love the sentiments in this set.  It is such a simple design and easy to create. You can find all the directions on yesterday's post for Just Add Ink (JAI#518)  I watercoloured the white leaf after I had adhered the gold veins just to soften it, and I added a strip of mint DSP to the front of one of the tent stands as the white was a bit stark. That's the cool thing about this design, you can change it up plenty of ways. I'm sure we can all send these type of cards at the moment. I hope you are safe and well, and staying connected, wherever you are.
