Hello and Happy Sunday! This week over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing projects made with our favorite DSP from the Spring mini catalog or Sale-a-Bration. I am definitely a HUGE fan of the Dainty Flowers DSP that is an SAB selection with a qualifying $50 order. You may remember the set of cards and matching notebook that I shared last month (see that post here). For today's project I decided to use a Diagonal Z-Fold that my new stamping friend Rita shared with me recently (see that blog post by Peggy Noe here). I did change up the dimensions on my card a teeny bit... I'll share those down below. This is a 4-1/4" square card that fits in an A2 envelope so won't cost more in postage. I love the designs in this DSP so much I had to make two different cards. This way you can see four of the patterns in this pack. Which is your favorite?
Above are images and links to the products that I used for today's project. Don't forget that now through February 28th you can earn exclusive Sale-a-Bration items with a qualifying $50 or $100 merchandise order.

This card wasn't that difficult to put together once I had everything cut. Please see the dimensions below. I did change up the smaller card to be square rather than rectangular, so the dimensions are different than in Peggy's post. This picture shows how the card closes. The diagonal was cut from the fold down to a corner, super easy to do with our stampin' trimmer.
Dimensions:
Base card - 8-1/2" x 4-1/4", scored at 4-1/4" and cut on an angle from the fold to a corner
DSP - 3-3/4" square, cut in half on the diagonal
Inside panel - 4" x 4" basic white CS
Mini card - 7" x 3-1/2", scored at 3-1/2"
DSP mini card panel - 3-1/4" x 3-1/4"
Inside panel of mini card - 3-1/4" x 3-1/4" basic white CS
Embellish as desired!
For this first card I used Rich Razzleberry card stock for my base and mats. The fun little flower was created using the Petal Park builder punch. Check out this blog post here from last month where I showed steps to create one. I used Fresh Freesia and Evening Evergreen card stock from the 2021-2023 In Color collection to create it. The center of the flower is from the Adhesive Backed Milky Dots jewels in the Spring mini catalog.
For this card I went with Old Olive for the card base and mats. I also paired it with Starry Sky card stock to mat the stamped piece and strip across the front to anchor it. I stamped the little flower on the piece cut with the Lasting Label punch knowing it would not fully fit on the piece. I then stamped the flower again on a piece of scrap basic white card stock, colored it with the solid image stamps, and then fussy cut it to mount on top. Easy-peasey!
And lastly, here is one more view of my card set. Which one is your favorite? For even more DSP card ideas and inspiration, be sure to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what Karla and Rachel created this week. Happy stamping!!
