More Amore DSP | The Maui Stamper

Love the colors in the More Amore Designer Series paper. I have a hard time loving a lot of pink and red, although I like each color on its own well enough. Add in some Pool Party and I am a happy stamper!

Love Single Stamp (retired)
Pool Party, Whisper White and Real Red card stock
More Amore DSP
Real Red FFIP
Full Heart Punch
Petal Cone Bigz die and Big Shot
Sticky Strip
Pool Party Ruffled Ribbon
Valentine Candy 🙂

Of course you could substitute something else for the Valentine candy, but why would you want to do that??

This is just one section of the Petal Cone die, folded in half and secured with Sticky Strip. When you NEED it to stay put, Sticky Strip is your adhesive! The scallop half circle is cut from More Amore and attached to the top of the Petal, and another Petal is cut from the same More Amore sheet but used in reverse below the opening. Super fast – you could make a classroom full of these in no time!

My first run through the Spring catalog was not exactly inspiring. I’m not sure what I was looking for or expecting, but whatever it was I didn’t see it. All my other demo friends were excited as can be and I was just kinda meh.

But of course I placed a pre-order and hoped for the best. The box arrived and I opened it and something happened. The things in the box were so much better than their pictures!! I take it all back!!! I am an Official Spring Catalog Fan. And as such, I have been busy creating:

Delightful Dozen stamp set (annual catalog)
Pool Party card stock
Primrose Pink Core’dinations card stock (Spring catalog)
More Amore DSP (Spring catalog)
Primrose Pink FFIP
Finishing Touches Edgelit
Hearts Collection Framelits
Needlepoint Border TIEF (Spring catalog)
Big Shot (well, duh!)
Stampin’ Sanding System

Those little peek-a-boo hearts are easy to achieve – just place a couple of Heart Framelits on your card front and run it through the Big Shot. Cut a piece of DSP – I used More Amore from the Spring Catalog – to 4 x 5 1/4 inches – just a hair smaller than your card front. Adhere it to the inside of the card and the DSP shows through the openings. Even better, you’ve got the reverse of the DSP as relief on the inside of the card.

The DSP also covers up the line where that strip of Embossed and trimmed Core’dinations is attached to the front of the card on the inside edge. I trimmed off 3/8 inch from the front of the card to make space for that trimmed piece.

We made these last week at Hostess Club. There’s a sweet little favor that matches, so tune in later this week to see it. There’s also a very special event coming soon in my family, and I’ll have some fun things to share from that too. I can’t wait to show you!!
