Paradise Garden - 2 cards with 1 template

Hello Stampers,

Happy St. Patrick's Day & I don't even have a green card ready to go, shame on me! I really love this template, it's so simple & depending on if you use 2 or 3 pieces of DSP you can get the same amount of cards.

For this card, I chose to use the Paradise Garden Stamp Set with the Garden Poetry DSP along with Blackberry Bliss & Berry Burst Cardstock bases. For the focal image, I used the single flower stamp stamped with Berry Burst Ink first, then used a Sponge Dauber to go around the outline of the flower with Blackberry Bliss Ink, then stamped the smaller flower full color using the ink pads to match the base of the card before using the Nested Essentials Dies to die-cut. For the sentiments, I used the Beautiful Motifs & the Lovely Arrangements Stamp Sets stamping in the color of the bases as well, these were then popped up using Stampin' Dimensionals before adding them to each card. Lastly, I added a few Rhinestone Basic Jewels & retire Sequins Trio to finish the cards.

Here is a diagram of how I cut the DSP. From the top, go down 1 1/4" from the left & 2" on the right. From the bottom, go up 1 1/4" from the left & 2" on the right. Then attach to a 5 1/4"x4" base.

~Thanks for stopping by!
