Make your own DSP

I used the Painted Seasons Stamp Set to make some "Janice Designed Paper" to use on cards because as of the end of this month the DSP that you could get for FREE during Sale-A-Bration will be no longer and I just LOVE LOVE LOVE this stamp set and of course the matching Four Seasons framelits.

To make your own....decide which stamp set or sets you want to use and colors, depending on season or maybe you need a certain subject, then think about what colors would compliment the cardstock, stamps etc. 

Once you are done stamping your 8-1/2" X 11" or 12" X 12" Sheets of cardstock here's a few other ideas...

1.  You can turn over on the back and draw the pattern to cut it and make it an actual one sheet wonder (search my Blog for One Sheet Wonder in the search box)

This was a daisy One Sheet Wonder. (Sorry I can't find the photo)When I cut this one I also cut the cardstock for the backing to the size needed and punched out the flowers and small strips of cardstock etc and put each yet unmade card into an envelope and then all in a zip lock baggie so as not to mix them up...It's like a little "kit" that you can take with you anywhere and complete if you wanted. Just add ink spots, adhesive your normal go to crafting staples and there ya go.

This one I used the Petal Promenade Stamp Set.

This one I used with the Painted Harvest Stamp Set (March 13, 2018)

Do a search in my blog for those if you'd like to get some ideas for cards.

2. Pick a stamp to use on top of your already stamped sheet and stamp with VERSAMARK, add ANY color embossing powder on top of your stamped images and heat. I love a little gold (like the first photo of the ones from the video)or silver especially in holiday cards.

3. Use Embossing Folders when you are making your cards with your own designed Paper, I just love the look, i think it looks elegant with pretty flowers for example.

I will post some sample photo's below the video.
