Miss Monday Cards- Beautiful Friendship & Forever Greenery Paper

 

Miss Monday Cards using the retiring Beautiful Friendship stamp set and the Forever Greenery Paper! I had ordered this paper months ago (when it went on sale) and just barely opened it up today! It is soooo pretty! I don't have the matching stamp set to this paper (just not my style) so I paired it with another soon to be retiring stamp set, Beautiful Friendship. I made 4 cards this time using 4 pieces of DSP cut at 4 x 5 1/4. You could get away with just using 2 pieces of DSP and just flip the paper and only make 2 cards. But I love all the different ways these turned out! Scroll through and see how one is different from the others and decide which you like best! 

These ones I used the Soft Seafoam for my card bases.

I kept this one very basic and have it the vertical card layout. 

This one I added a bow and turned it so it became a horizontal card. 

These ones I changed the card base to the Shaded Spruce.

This one I attached the DSP to a piece of 4 x 5 1/4 cardstock first and then added the ribbon. 

This one I embellished with light blue rhinestones from the Holiday Rhinestone pack. 

Here are the similar designs, just different card bases and arrangement of the DSP. 

These ones were both horizontal and have Just Jade Gingham ribbon (just placed differently) and have different cardbases. 

Here are the measurements of the DSP and how to cut them. You can change the DSP arrangement by switching spots from the top the bottom pieces (see Soft Seafoam card above). 

These cards all look different but all started the same! Use the measurements and steps below to help create you own DSP cards too!
