The dsp used on these cards once again is from the "Hello, Irresistable" 6 x 6collection.  The card base is 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 and scored at 4 1/4".  Cuts are made on each side of the front 1 1/4" from the sides an then glued down leaving the front flap free to open.  This first card was made using a light weight white card base and lacked stability so I made as second card below.

Since I was making a second card, I decided to mat the dsp layer on Flirty Flamingo card stock  I like the look much better.

Moving on to another retired dsp, this card was made using dsp from the 6 x 6 Hello, Irresistable dsp.  I orderd the pack when it was introduced because of a single card I had seen.  Then when I got it, I had a hard time using some of the designs.  I found this general idea from Rachel Tessman on YouTube here . 

One of the designs is a sheet of flowers that can be die cut with the coordinating dies  The picture actually shows that I gently curled the petals of the top flower which was added with dimensionals.  A second design has a sheet of leaves but I decided to stamp and die cut the ones I used.

The final card using some of the Simply Marbleous dsp.......at least for now.   I added a scrap of the piece to a Coastal Cabana card base.  The image from retired SU Flowing Flowers was stamped with a Misti.  I had to stamp it several times because my ink pad was needing reinked.  I was just happy that I still had the retired ink pad and some of the card stock to go with the dsp.

Instead of using die cuts as the silhouette design, I stamped the image from the Stampin' UP! Fabulous Florets retired stamp set.  I did the stamping with my MISTI because I knew I would have to stamp it several times to get the bold black look I wanted.  Below are two more cards using two different colors. of the dsp.  For all three of these I blended the appropriate ink to show behind the die cut circles.

Going back to the layout that originally inspired me to make these cards, I used Costal Cabana card stock for the mat and the ink for blending around the area where I would be adding the die cut circle.  The die cut I used for this one is from  Penny Black's Playful II.  The actual die cut is larger, but I cut it apart to use this portion.  (It also has a coordinating stamp.)

Come back tomorrow for three more cards using the same but different idea.  Thank you for coming by today!

The die cut for this card meant using a different layout.  The Blooming Rose design is from Poppy Stamps.

I still have some of the Stampin' UP! Simply Marbleous 6 x 6 dsp and saw this idea on Pinterest.  The card on the right is actually the first one I made.  I cut a 3" circle from the gray piece of dsp.  The sample I saw had blended the coordinating ink around the area before adding the circle to the card mat.  The samples I saw had all used black silhouette die cuts to add to the circles so I pulled out several from my "collection".

After completing that card, I felt like the dsp got lost so I cut another circle and matted it with the Basic Grey card stock but didn't do any blending with the ink.  I like it much better.

I will be posting more cards using some of the other colors of this dsp and other design added to them.
