Today is the last day of Sale-a-Bration! Here are four card layouts to help you use that DSP! NOTE: I swapped out Daffodil Delight for Lemon Lolly.

CARD 1 MEASUREMENTS (Get Well WIshes)

• Card Base: 4-1/4 x 11" Score: 5-12" (Lemon Lolly Cardstock)
• Inside Layer: 4 x 5-1/2" (Basic White Cardstock)
• DSP Layer for Card Front: 4 x 5-1/4" (Flight & Airy DSP)
• (1) Die Cut 1: Bird on a Branch DSP (Thoughtful Expressions Dies)
• (1) Die Cut 2: Layering Die Cut (Thoughtful Expressions Dies)
• (1) Die Cut for Sentiment (The Love of Spring Dies)
• (1) Ribbon: 6" (Garden Green)
• (3) Tinsel Gems

INSTRUCTIONS

Stamp "Get Well Wishes" with the Seasonal Branches Stamp Set in Pecan Pie ink on the Sentiment Die Cut piece but stamp on the right side of the die cut. The left side will be glued to the next piece.

Glue the bird on a branch die cut to the coordinating layer die cut in Lemon Lolly. Glue the left side of sentiment piece to the back of this one. See photo.

Glue DSP to card front. Glue the die cut panel to the lower third of the card front.

Tie a small bow and place under bird on a branch die cut with a glue dot. Finish with dimensionals.

NOTE: Don't forget to glue the inside panel. 

TIP: Take some leftover scrap DSP and use a piece to decorate the inside of your card. (Optional)

CARD 2 MEASUREMENTS (Thinking of You)

• Card Base: 4-1/4 x 11" Score: 5-12" (Calypso Coral Cardstock)
• Inside Layer: 4 x 5-1/2" (Basic White Cardstock)
• DSP Layer 1: 2-1/8 x 4" (Flight & Airy DSP)
• DSP Layer 2: 2-1/8 x 4" (Flight & Airy DSP)
• DSP Layer 3: 1 x 4" (Flight & Airy DSP)
• (1) Die Cut Bird (Seasonal Branches Dies) Basic White Cardstock
• (1) Die Cut Small Branch DSP (Seasonal Branches Dies) Pecan Pie Cardstock
• (1) Die Cut for Sentiment (Thoughtful Expressions Dies Size: 1-1/2 x 2-3/4")
• (1) Ribbon: 4-5" (Garden Green)
• (3) Tinsel Gems

INSTRUCTIONS

Stamp "Thinking of You" in Garden Green ink from the Excellent Eggs Stamp Set on the sentiment die cut. 

Glue DSP panels to card front. Bird Pattern top, the 1" panel center and the Pecan Pie panel on the bottom. Trim edges on ribbon and glue to the center DSP strip.

Place sentiment die cut on dimensionals and add to card.

Glue the Pecan Pie branch to top right of the sentiment.

OPTIONAL: Stamp and color bird from Seasonal Branches Stamp Set and color with Stampin' Blends (Bronze, Boho Blue and Sweet Sorbet colors on bird)

I liked the branch on top of the bird's feet but you can glue the bird on top of branch too.

Finish with Tinsel Gems in Green

CARD 3 - BACK FOLD - MEASUREMENTS (Thanks)

• Card Base: 5-1/2 x 7-1/2" Score: 3-1/4 and 6-1/2" (Lemon Lolly Cardstock)
• Inside Layer: 3 x 5-1/4" (Basic White Cardstock)
• DSP Layer 1: 3 x 5-1/4" (Flight & Airy DSP)
• DSP Layer 2: 7/8 x 5-1/4" (Flight & Airy DSP)
• DSP Layer 3: 2-5/8" Size Thoughtful Expressions Die Cut (Flight & Airy DSP)
• (1) Layering Die Cut (Thoughtful Expressions Dies Size: 3") Boho Blue Cardstock
• (3) Tinsel Gems

INSTRUCTIONS

Stamp "Thanks" from the Seasonal Branches Stamp Set in Pecan Pie ink directly onto the Die Cut DSP piece with the bird and branch. Stamp greeting by the bird or wherever your white space is depending on the piece you die cut.

Glue this piece to the coordinating Die Cut in Boho Blue. Set aside.

Glue the DSP panels and insert for the inside of card. Bend the score line (the 1 inch part of card) back. Add adhesive only to the right side of the die cut and glue to that back fold panel only. This becomes the fun fold and will keep the card closed until you bend back panel to open the card.

Finish with Tinsel Gems.

CARD 4 MEASUREMENTS (Hello Spring)

• Card Base: 4-1/4 x 11" Score: 5-12" (Pecan Pie Cardstock) - Cut 1-1/2" piece and 2-1/2" piece off of one side of card to create fun fold pieces
• Inside Layer: 4 x 5-1/2" (Basic White Cardstock)
• (2) DSP Layer: 1-1/4 x 4" (Flight & Airy DSP)
• DSP Layer: 2-1/4 x 4" (Flight & Airy DSP)
• (2) Die Cut Eggs (Excellent Eggs Dies) Very Vanilla Cardstock - create the half shell by using the chevron die to cut egg in half (use two half pieces per card)
• (2) Fussy Cut Birds (Flight & Airy DSP) Largest Bird Pattern 
• (4) Iridescent Pearls

INSTRUCTIONS

Take the Pecan Pie pieces to create the fun fold card front. Take the 1-1/4 strip and line up with the edge of the card base. Take the 2-1/2" piece and glue the DSP panel to it then place a thin strip of glue on either edge ONLY and leave center without glue. Place over the two 1-1/2 inch strips on the card fronts to create the fun fold panel. Then glue the 1-1/4" DSP pieces to the sides.

Glue the inside panel in Basic White. Stamp "Hello Spring" in Fresh Freesia ink in the area where you can see the white behind the fun fold panel. Hello Spring is from the Excellent Eggs Stamp Set. Place fussy cut birds on dimensionals and add to the center front panel. Place the egg shell halves over the birds also with dimensionals. This makes them look like they just hatched. Finish with Iridescent Pearls.
