Getting more from Designer Series Paper

In looking for a way to use the Delightful Wishes suite of products that a customer requested to use, I came across Lisa Curcio's technique to create four cards from one 6" X 6" sheet of Designer Series Paper (DSP). This idea can be used with any paper, theme, or suite of products. I will share the basic idea with another variation that can be used.

Along with the Delightful Wishes suite, I have used some retired stamps and embossing folders because they are what I had on hand. The second set uses the Bokeh DSP with some retired butterfly dies and folder and a retired sentiment stamp sets. The idea is that you can use what you already have, or you can use this technique with any new products that you like. 

Current Products: Delightful Wishes bundle, Tiny Bee trinkets, Floral & Gingham Vellum, Floral Delight 12" X 12" DSP, Beautiful Bokeh 6" X 6" DSP, Antique Pearls,  and you could use: Fern 3D embossing folder, Beautiful Butterflies bundle, Sketched Butterflies bundle, 2024-2026 In Color  Shimmer gems, Tinsel Gems Four-Pack, and Itty Bitty Bokeh Mix.

Retired Products that could be used: Butterflies dies, Butterfly Beauty dies, Butterfly Brilliance stamps, Beauty Abounds stamps, Fluttering embossing folder, Layered leaves dynamic folder, Meadow Moments embossing folders, Colorful Seasons stamps, Seasonal Layers dies, Forever Blossoms stamps, and Cherry blossom dies.

Embellishments

Emboss the smaller coordinating color cardstock/vellum or just use a coordinating piece of DSP/vellum to go next to the piece of DSP.
