DSP Display Card

I created this card using the instructions and video by Rachel at Stamp Your Art Out - Click HERE.  Please, please, please no one comments here; but please at least leave a comment on Rachel's video and give her a thumbs up. All bloggers spend a great amount of time (including me) to share what they love.

Rather than duplicate the information, I have listed the materials I used.

Stampin' Up! Products

• Early Espresso cardstock - see below
• Card base measures 6 1/4" x 5 1/2"
• Score at 1" and 5 1/4"*
• Very Vanilla cardstock
• Dandelion Wishes and Layering Leaves stamp sets
• Early Espresso ink
• Banner Triple punch
• Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies & Birds

I made a slight adjustment to Rachel's scoring of the card base. Instead of scoring the card base at 1" from both ends, I scored it at 1" and 5 1/4". This insures the folded card will be closer to the closed card base of 4 1/4"

Happy Thanksgiving - Seven Panel Card

This design is my blog followers all-time favorite tutorial. I've created tutorials for years now and when I released this layout, so many supported my work by purchasing this unique layout that uses the DSP to create a continuous layout. Check out other cards I have posted with this layout HERE.
