Time to use your DSP - or buy more while it's on SALE

As we near the end of the current Annual Catalogue period, I look for ways to use up products that will retire to make room for all the new ones coming!
I always seem to have a growing supply of DSP, so really wanted to get into it and use some up.

Okay, so who doesn't yet know what DSP stands for??
It's understandable if you don't.
There are times we use acronyms without realising that not everyone knows what they stand for or mean.
And if you are new to Stampin' Up! you will not always know what the SU (Stampin' Up!) term is for certain products, to then realise what the acronym would be.
So, what is DSP? This is Designer Series Paper which is SU's own double sided specialty printed paper in colours that coordinate to SU's own colour range.

I would think that any paper crafter would have a good "stash" (some may say "hoard') of DSP or similar, and never really use "enough".

There are some great "sketches" or "crops" that can be found on the many places crafters will look on the internet (Pinterest, YouTube etc) which can help you chop that paper up to use.

I've always wanted to do one of these, but never committed to any of them, and thus still have a good stockpile of paper to use.

But last weekend, I finally got stuck into one.

After seeing a number of other demonstrators use a One Sheet Double Wonder layout by Stampin' Up!'s own Shannon West (from the Home Office) and then a full layout and instructions from US demonstrator Julie Davison, I picked out some DSP, and I CHOPPED IT UP!!!!

Here are some of the resulting cards.





I did make some adjustments as our card size in Australia differs to the US card size. So I did add a layer where I thought it could use a little extra.

So who is ready to use up some DSP?
I will be holding an online/virtual class using this layout and I would love you to join in.
So get your DSP out, find some coordinating card stock and let me know if you're ready!
There is no cost for the class, just make sure you have all your supplies. Of course, if you don't have supplies, I can held you order some! Or I may even have a "kit" of supplies I can sell you.
Just let me know how I can help.

Thanks for looking
Natasha
