We had a crazy Memorial Day weekend at the cottage.  All our neighbors came with their kids, grandkids and lots of dogs.  The weather was gorgeous and there was lots of good food and beverages all weekend long.  One of the best parts was I managed to get down the shore wall, sit in a chair and put my feet in the water.  I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to do that with my foot but I had lots of helpers and it made the weekend great!  It’s the little things!

Stampin’ Up!® makes the most beautiful Designer Series Paper that sometimes you just have to let it do the talking.  There are eleven different 12″ x 12″ papers to choose from and four different 6″ x 6″ papers.  Each one is very different from the rest yet so beautiful.  I decided to use the Sun Prints 12″ x 12″ DSP for my card.

To make this card I took a 3.5″ x 4.5″ piece of the Sun Prints Designer Series Paper and cut it at a diagonal using my Paper Trimmer.  To make things easier I cut a 3.75″ x 5″ piece of Basic White card stock and adhered the strips of DSP to it.  That way I was able to line it up much quicker than trying to figure it out on a 4.25″ x 5.5″ card base.  Then I adhered that to the card base.

Next I cut out the words “thanks” and “you” twice from the die set called Amazing Thanks.  I like cutting them out twice and gluing them together.  It gives it a little more depth.  Next I cut off the “s” on thanks and adhered both words to the DSP.  It was a super quick card to make but the Designer Series Paper background makes it look more complicated.
