Step 1: Glue the DSP 3 3/4" x 5" to the GS 3 7/8" x 5 1/8", make sure the center of the layers are glued together

Step 2: Place the 2 1/8" square die in the center towards the top and die cut through both layers.

Step 3: Take the die cut created in Step 2 and die cut using the 2" square die.

Step 4: Glue together the CC 2 1/4" x 2 1/4" and the GS 2 1/4" x 2 1/4". Die cut this using the square 2 1/8" die.

Step 5: Attach Dimensionals to the 2" square created in Step 3 and attach it to the square completed in Step 4

Step 6: Glue the card layers created in Step 1 and attach to card base and as it is drying, glue in the square completed in Step 5

Step 5: Embellish

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"
