Late Glow of Harvest DSP

 Hey friends!  Running late as usual. Yesterday was the final day for getting the Glow of Harvest Designer Series Paper as the Product of the Month.  I was hurrying to get some samples made to share with you and I just ran out of time.  So, for those of you who own this lovely pearlized paper, I'm just sharing a few more ideas for using it.  Because I've got a good size collection, I'm not going into a lot of detail on each card.  Just a quick blurb will have to suffice, but it will give you a starting place if you're interested.

As you can see, this is a fun fold card.  The measurements are 8 1/2" x 5 1/2".  It's scored at 1 7/8", and 3" from both ends.

The center panels measure 2 1/4" x 5 1/4".  One is DSP and the one on back is Basic White.

The DSP on the side panels both front and back measure 1 5/8" x 5 1/4".

This gives you a cute card that stands up very nicely on its own.

Whew!  That was a lot to take in.  Hope you use this as a resource for using your own DSP.  Pay attention to all the different ways to lay out the elements.  Layers really do stand out in this batch of cards.  Of course, if you like these ideas, you can always change DSP and cardstock colors to match any season at all.  Have fun doing the mix-and-match game to see what prints you like together and what colors really set them apart.

Can you believe it's finally September 1st today?  Seems like I've been waiting forever for it to get here.  But that means all those holidays are coming up one after another, and we better get started on them.  If you have any questions about these cards, I'll be happy to answer them.  Just get in touch with me at sharoncarr50@gmail.com  and I'll get back with you as soon as possible.

Happy stamping and creating,

Sharon
