Hello and welcome to my blog. We’re CASEing our favourite DSP this week. You may have hopped over from Julia’s blog, make sure you visit all the Design Team’s Blogs by clicking on the “next” button at the bottom of the post.
I really liked the Florals In Bloom DSP, on page 67 of the Annual Catalogue, however I hadn’t used very much of it. So my challenge was to use this DSP that I really liked but hadn’t used (does this sound familiar haha).
I’ve CASEd the above card from page 89 of the Annual Catalogue which uses the Regals 6″ x 6″ DSP. In the sample card they’ve fussy cut along the flowers in the DSP to create the edge.
My card base is Peach Pie followed by a layer of Secret Sea. I chose a lovely pattern of Florals In Bloom DSP and fussy cut around the flowers. The flowers didn’t look quite right when “hanging” from the top of the card so I changed it up and added the DSP to the bottom of the card. I thought this left a lot of boring white space so I added some interest with some Wood Textured Specialty Paper.
I’ve die cut a couple of leaves in Summer Splash using the Pretty Florals Dies. The sentiment is from The Right Words stamp set and is die cut using the Nested Essentials Dies. To finish off my card I’ve added a Tiny Bee Trinket.
Marvi was relaxing in his favourite basket. He’s had this basket since he was a kitten and he still squishes himself into it although he’s way too big now.
It’s time to hop over and see Monique’s wonderful creation. Just click on the next button below.

I’ve cased the card with the blue dsp and loved it. Funny how it never occurred to me to cut other floral paper that way. So, thanks for the great design idea!
My love to Marvy. You are the only blogger i know who has a pet friend to display the card. It’s a very good, fun technique.
