Double Vision Meets Waterside Retreat - Perfect Father's Day Card

 So, I have had fun with the double vision card.  I used the technique for my demonstration at our team gathering this past weekend with the Scenic Coast DSP, and wow..it worked so beautifully.  I decided to try it with the fish paper as my husband is an avid fisherman, and fathers day will be here before I know it.

What do you think?

There are two ways you can do this.  One, take one 5 1/4 X 4 DSP, cut it into 1/2 strips and raise every second strip with dimensionals.  Or, you can cut two pieces of DSP that are exactly the same to 5 1/4 X 4.  Keep one as your base and cut the other into 1/2 inch strips, using every second strip.  That is what I did as I like the look better than seeing cardstock peeking through but it is a lot of DSP used and wasted!

I cut the chair out of Peaceful Pine with the dies and used a blending brush to add some dimension to it.  The book I stamped on Basic White with memento and coloured with my blends (Crumb Cake and Mossy Meadow).  I used the textured notes dies and run it through twice to get a smaller rectangle for the sentiment.  With the Basic Essentials Twine, I wrapped it around the sentiment and attached a trinket.

For the inside, I kept it simple and just cut out a fish from the designer series paper.

Here is the card I made for our team event.  Same technique, just a different suite.

Bloom Boutique Pleated Card

 We had our team spring escape a few weeks ago and Sherry demonstrated this super cute card and I just knew I had to do it with some new product.  So we re-created her card with the Bloom Boutique gorgeous DSP.  What do you think?

This card is featuring the new Hydrangea Hue.  I am in love!!!  The second card has Hydrangea Hue and Barely Blush.  Which is your favourite?

For the inside of the card, I kept it pretty simple.  Just put a strip of DSP and a sentiment

To make this card you want a piece of DSP that measures 4 X 7.  With the 7 along the top score at 1/2, 1, 2, 2 1/2, 3 1/2, 4, 5, 5 1/2 and 6 1/2.  Fold these starting at the left alternating between a mountain and a valley fold.  See the differences between the top and the bottom card.  The bottom card I popped the pleats up with dimensionals, the top card I glued it down.  Totally different look, one would need more postage to mail LOL.

I adhered this a piece of cardstock measures 2 1/2X 4 and then mounted this on a piece of coordinating cardstock  measuring 2 3/4 X 4 1/4.  You can do more than one layer if you wish.  The second design of DSP is 4 X 5 1/4 and that is adhered to a standard card base measuring 81/2 X 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4.

A complete list of supplies is provided below.  If you want to see me make this card, watch me on my You Tube channel here
