Hi Everyone! Welcome to the Scientist’s Art. Today we will be making 6 simple cards just using paper and few embellishments. There are many templates around what is called “One Sheet Wonder” that makes the most out of a sheet of designer series paper (A.K.A. DSP). In this example we are using the Tropical Chic DSP (available until May 31 st ) and the coordinating card stock (Blushing Bride, Granny Apple Green, and Shaded Spruce). If you are watching my video I call Shaded Spruce – Tranquil Tide…mmm I wonder if I am becoming color blind.
When making these cards I embossed many of the mats in the Subtle Embossing Folder. I used stickers and ribbon I had in my stash and tried to keep the cards a simple and low cost as possible. If you would like directions to these 6 cards please send me an email at cbradleybecker@gmail.com. Hope you have a great weekend and make it a tropical escape even if its in your craft room
