Our challenge was to create a CAS design with DSP and Ribbon.
Inchies (1"x1") (and the recently released Twinchies (2"x2"), and other 'subsets of the inch'- smiles) really satisfy my passion for miniature art!
In these designs I made both small (3x3) and large (4 1/4 x 4 1/4) versions. The ribbon is a golden lace that I found in a consignment shop. I like to wrap the ribbon around to the front on CAS cards, securing the ends with sticky tape under the focal piece. The Petite Pairs sentiments work so wonderfully with any design, and they fit into any and all styles of card design!
P.S. Don't hesitate to create envelops using DSP! Just open any envelop you already have and trace it on the DSP, cut it out, score the folded edges (use the original envelop as your guide) and seal for a perfect match to your card design. To bring it all together I outlined my handmade envelope's edges (shown under the card) with a Gold Leafing pen just like I did on the focal point! What fun!
Enjoy!

What a stunning card! The Santa is gorgeous, and the consignment trim was a real find. You pulled everything together, envelope and card, to make this a greeting people can't help but ooh and aah at. Thank you for sharing your tips. I never thought of using DP to make custom envelopes. Thanks for sharing your creativity!
