FALLING FOR YOU MAKE-YOUR-OWN DSP CARD...

This is a card I began at a shoebox swap I went to last weekend.  It was my last card, and I was very pressed for time, so I just quickly made the card front (WAY too quickly), which was basically a "make-your-own-DSP" design.  It sat on my desk until today when I used it to come up with my own card since I didn't remember the designed one.

I started by adding some of the leaves from the Beautiful Branches Framelits from the Thoughtful Branches Bundle.  I cut them from the GORGEOUS Copper Foil that is coming out in the Holiday Catalog - SNEAK PEEK!!!  It is positively yummy!  I loved the contrast of the Burlap Ribbon with the Copper Foil and the Copper Metallic Thread (another SNEAK PEEK!) for a kind of country elegance!

THOUGHTFUL HYDRANGEA IN WISTERIA...

I am totally in love with the Thoughtful Branches bundle.  Especially the Hydrangeas!  I wanted to use a lot of depth for this card (three of the layers have Stampin' Dimensionals), so it is not practical for mailing.  However, it is a perfect card to hand deliver to a loved one!!!

For this card, I stamped and cut out the "flowers" three times.  I used the Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush over the entire surface of two of the flower layers.  The first one (no Wink of Stella) is directly adhered to the card front.  The second one is popped up on Stampin' Dimensionals (mostly cut into 4 pieces to fit).  And the third one, I trimmed away some of the flowers/petals (keep the pieces you trim off) and popped it up with Stampin' Dimensionals and adhered to the second layer.  Then I took a few of the flowers I trimmed away and used Stampin' Dimensionals to add a fourth layer in a couple of spots.  Finally, I added a few of the smallest Pearl Jewels. 

Not as difficult as it looks and such a pretty effect!  Wish you could see the shimmer from the Wink of Stella.
