Hey, sorry all to do two posts on top of each other. But I shared this simple card yesterday on my Sunflower Stamper Facebook page and it's gone crazy! So, I'm sharing here as well, with more details!
Strips of DSP with a large image flower. So simple and sweet! This one is just two-tones with white, but so many colors would work! Night of Navy and Balmy Blue with Basic White.
Strips are from the True Blue Floral DSP, the January Product of the Month, which I'm just discovering iS now sold out. But I'm sure you ALL have a stash of DSP. Find one with a small print and colors you love and go for it! The strips are 1/2" wide. Which sounds tricky, but not if you use the Stampin' Up! Paper Trimmer. Keep your paper square and up against the top and use the line on the outside of the cutting line to measure your 1/2". I would also suggest leaving them longer than your base layer and trimming after applying them.
So, this is a standard size card. Navy base is 8-1/2 x 5-1/2, scored and folded to be 4-1/2 by 5-1/2. I added a Balmy Blue accent layer of 4x5-1/4. The Basic White is 1/8 smaller than that! I like a tight layer when it's just for accent!
I totally eyeball getting the strips straight and for all my layers. In this case, take the white and the strips. Leave a bit of white on the long edge and line up the top to adhere. Repeat with the other two. I did stamp my flower first but if I was doing it again, I'd do the strips first, then stamp the flower so you can get better placement. Once you have all 3 strips you can trim them off at the bottom with your scissors. Stamp your flower then adhere your layers together.
I embellished with a coordinating ribbon and bling. Saying is from the same set as the flower, Inked and Tiled. retired. Oval stamps also retired. Bling added to the saying and flowers.
