Best dressed dsp meets Stitched labels

Good morning to you all,

 It's tuesday again and here is my tuesday make for you all, hope you like it. I'm using a stampset and dies that are about to retire at the beginning of June, so I thought I'd better make use of them while I can. I just love this set and I'm sad to see it go, but it's making room for some new stunning products, so well worth it. The good news is that the dies which are called Stitched labels are actually reduced by 25% while stocks last, so it's well worth having a look if you fancy getting them, as they will sell out fast.

The card that I'm making is being CASE'd on a card fold that a very good friend  Anne made and her blog is  ashinkyspot.blogspot.com she has made some wonderful cards and it would be great if you went and gave her a look.

Materials needed:

1pc  12.5cm 29cm score @ 12.5cm base card

Instructions:

On the petal pink base card fold and burnish on your score line.
Now on your side that measures 12.5cm x 12.5cm you need to measure and draw (leave these pencil marks on until you've marked your paper ), on all 4 sides 2cm in as shown in picture above. In the picture it shows you where you need to cut and where you need to score.
On the score line that you've done from corner to corner you can fold and burnish, then you need to fold back flat for the next step.
Lay your piece of dsp onto the front of your card (not glued as in the picture ), making sure you have an even border all the way round, mark on your dsp where your pencil marks are on your card, remove the dsp and now you can cut your square apperture out , I used my Stampin' Up! trimmer to do this (remember you only cut 2 sides ) and then glue into place on the front of your card. The square that you cut out of the middle of your dsp you need to cut in half corner to corner making sure you cut it the right corner to corner or your pattern will be wrong if you use directional dsp, the dsp I've used for this card I don't think it would matter.
Now you need to cut  0.5cm off each right angle side of your triangle that is going to be used so that you get a smaller triangle to glue onto your triangle on front of your card, that is now folded back on itself, dsp on top and then 3 x stampin dimensionals on the back to secure it down.
You can now assemble all of your pieces that you've cut out and stamped onto the side of your card.

Stamp your sentiment on your whisper white card and glue into the inside of your card.
When I stamped the Best wishes it was a bit too big for the die shape that I wanted to use, so I used my stampin' write marker pen to ink 1 word at a time, which enabled it to fit.
I glued the daisies onto the whisper white circle die cut shape, having stamped the daffodil delight ones with the daisy stampset, then tucked the leaves underneath, and placed my Designer element in place. I then put dimensionals on the back and stuck it to my lovely lipstick die cut piece. When sticking this to the front of your card, make sure you only place dimensionals in one corner as you don't want to stick the card shut through the apperture. Put glue onto the front of your sentiment piece and stick to the underside of the whisper white circle.
Hope you like the card and try it out yourself.

Bye for now, take care stay safe and keep crafting.
Big crafty hugs
