Scallop Square Notes

I pulled out the bigshot and decided to do a few different things for hostess gifts this time around. I made some card sets with the Springtime Vintage DSP. The base is a piece of Very Vanilla, but it is only the base, but a square cut with the clear large scallop square die. There is a piece of Baja Breeze layered, but the final piece is the DSP, cut 4x8, scored at 4, folded and that's the card. If you use a layer as in the picture below, your DSP will need to be trimmed a bit so it's a tad smaller than 4in. To make the most of your DSP, cut your 12x12 sheet in one 4 x 12 piece, trim it to 4x8, then go back to the rest of your 12x12 sheet and turn it a quarter turn, you will have three more 4x8 strips in what is remaining. Make sense? Keep in mind that with the DSP since it's patterned on both sides, you may need to stamp your sentiment on a piece of vanilla, punch it out and adhere it to the inside. The DSP in this case is a little to wild in that you can't stamp the sentiment directly on the DSP, you won't be able to read it. This is a little too much explaining for these simple cards, but with my left over piece of 4x4, I trimmed it down and made a quick and cute 3x3 as well! A fun set of cards! Sera
