Playing with Thoughtful Journey DSP


Hopefully you have received your new 2024-25 Annual Catalog by now--if not please email me at stampwithdrrobin@gmail.com and let me send you one if you don't have a demonstrator. I am making a card today using the gorgeous 6" by 6" Thoughtful Journey DSP as each page is more beautiful than the last. These pages are stand alone amazing--all they really need is a sentiment added to make a card, but I thought I'd fancy them up today with some other new products. I am loving the In Color Glimmer Paper as well as the Unbounded Love bundle that I used for the sentiment. If you have trouble following along with these directions, please watch my Facebook live below. 

 Let's make this card. Gather your supplies: 

1. Mossy Meadow cardstock --Card base 5 1/2" by 8 1/2" scored on the long side at  4 1/4" and folded along the score line. A second piece 3 3/4" by 2 3/8"
2. Basic White cardstock-- 3 3/4" by 5" piece for the inside and a scrap for the sentiment
3. Thoughtful Journey DSP
4. 2024-26 In Color Glimmer Specialty Paper in Petunia Pop
5. Stamp Sets--Unbounded Beauty, Flowers of Beauty
6. Ink--Mossy Meadow and Petunia Pop
7. Dies--Unbounded Beauty, Deckled Rectangles (an On-Line Exclusive)
8. Petunia Pop Bordered Ribbon
9. Basic supplies--Bone folder, Paper Snips, adhesive (I like Multipurpose Glue and Seal+), Paper Trimmer, Regular Dimensionals, Cut and Emboss Machine  

Lay the largest Deckled Rectangle die on your Thoughtful Journey DSP where you thing it will look best on the card. Lay the 5th largest rectangle in the center of this rectangle and tape them down (old washi tape or painter's tape or a post it note work well). Run them through your Cut and Emboss machine together. Adhere the smaller rectangle to the smaller piece of Mossy Meadow and set aside.

Using the Unbounded Beauty die below, cut out from both Basic White and the Petunia Pop Glimmer Paper. Stamp your sentiment on the Basic White central part (save the outside part for another card) using Mossy Meadow ink. 

Stamp your inside sentiment using Mossy Meadow ink and also the leafy stamp from Flowers of Beauty. Stamp the larger flower blobs with stamped off Petunia Pop--that means stamp it first on scratch paper and then on the card. Make sure the part with the 3 smaller blobs is on top. Then stamp with the more detailed flowers in full strength Petunia Pop ink. Attach this to the inside of your card.


Let's put the card together. Before attaching the bigger piece of Thoughtful Journey DSP to the card, first tie a piece of Petunia Pop ribbon around the whole thing and tie a knot. After attaching that to the card, attach the smaller piece with the Mossy Meadow backing to the card using Dimensionals. I attached the sentiment with the border piece using Dimensionals on the left side--I placed the Dimensionals strategically holding both the outline piece to the sentiment part--and glue to the right bottom side that overlaps the inside rectangle. 


Here's another version of this card using another piece of the Thoughtful Journey DSP.

  Floating Christmas Tree So if you make a lot of holiday cards like I do, it is time to start working on them! I know, I know, we haven't had Halloween yet, but if you want to send them out before the holiday it is time to get working. And this lovely card was inspired by someone else (sorry I just took a picture of it but there was no name on it so I can't thank you) who used her scraps to make the tree. I took it one step further and made a floating scraps tree. I've been wanting to make a card with this technique for a while and I knew this tree would look fabulous like this. And the second bonus is that I got to use up a ton of Lights Aglow scraps, even the small ones. All you need to do is cut your scraps into 1/2" pieces, attach them to a piece of window sheet and then cut out whatever shape you like. What an amazing way to use up something you might have otherwise thrown out. Win! Win! If you get lost making this card, or you are just a visual learner, please w...

  Pick of the Patch Joy Fold Card This fun joy fold card just makes me smile. I'm loving the Pick of the Patch bundle lately for its versatility--it can make beautiful fall cards, great Thanksgiving cards, and today a Halloween card. And all from a relatively inexpensive punch bundle. Now are you wondering where the Pumpkin Pie Designer Series Paper in the background is from? It's not DSP--I made it with the Sketched Plaid background stamp. Another versatile stamp set that I'm sure will be making an appearance on some holiday cards later this year. For some hints and tips on using this large sized stamp, and making this card, please watch my Facebook Live down below. Better yet, join me every Monday at 1 pm PST on my Stamp with Dr Robin Facebook group to make another fun card.  Time to make this card! Gather your supplies: 1. Basic Black cardstock --Card base 4 1/4" by 8 1/2"" scored on the long side at  3" and folded along the score line. Second piece 3...
