This card making technique is an ultra easy way to use DSP and make simple stamped cards quickly! The Gingham Cottage DSP pack is a huge pack of delightful gingham patterned 12 x 12 paper in shades of Real Red, Blushing Bride, Pumpkin Pie, Garden Green, Mint Macaron, and Basic Black.
Measurements:
Base: Basic White CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
Basic Black CS: 5 1/4″ x 3 1/4″
DSP: 5″ x 3″
Cut multiple pieces of DSP on the 3″ side to two pieces one strip measuring 1″ x 5″ and another 2″ x 5″.
Turn the 2″ strip 90 degrees and cut the 5″ side into two pieces measuring 2″ square and 2″ x 3″.
Then mix and match the DSP so you have different colors and patterns in each of the three sections.
The card above uses the larger flower from the Color and Contour stamp set and the sentiments are all die cut from the Contour Scallops die set that coordinates with the Color and Contour set.
The sample above switches the 1″ piece to the right side of the card – just this simple switch makes the cards look different! These are accented with the Black Matte Dots and the Black and white Gingham ribbon!
Different colored Gingham DSP and switched the Sentiment piece to the top!
Used two flowers one popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals and no ribbon but a background stamp on the cards edge.
The two sided Gingham Cottage DSP gives this card design so many options!
Hope these simple stamping cards give you ideas to go and create!
It is easy to go and make some art of your own – one stamp at a time!
