Chevron Technique with DSP

Hey there Bloggers! It's Hump Day! It has been so cold here in the last week and I am so happy that we are seeing just a little bit of relief. This winter seems to be have been dragging on forever and I know that everyone is experiencing severe weather for the last few months. What's been happening in your neck of the woods? I would love to know.

Today's post is a card that we made at my last Stamper's Club meeting. It is a Chevron Technique using DSP. Depending on the Designer Series Paper you use, you can get a different effect and a definitely a different look.  

Cut 5 pieces of DSP to  2" x 1".  Fold three of the strips by taking the right corner and folding it over to the left side forming a 45 degree angle. The other two strips will be folded in the opposite direction.  Turn the strip and repeat the same thing on the other end.  Make sure that you are just turning the strip and not flipping it over.  Both folds are on the same side.  Once all the strip corners have been folded take them and create your chevron on your card front. It is easy to see how it will look if you use Dotto repositionable tape, that way you can move them around as needed then once it is perfect then you can adhere permanently.

Hey there Bloggers! I hope that you enjoyed your weekend and are all ready for the beginning of a new week. 

It's been another busy week for me. My kids participated in a fundraising event at their school called Ride of the Mustangs. The fundraiser was a 48 hour stationary bike ride to raise money for the Children's Hospital Oncology unit. This was the third annual event and it was as successful as past years... this year the kids raised an amazing $132,000. As a parent I am very proud of all the kids. I have to say the kids were exhausted. 

Saturday we went to the Airdrie Home & Garden Show (which I was not a participant in this year), went to the Roughnecks game, and saw some of Blair's relatives that we hadn't seen in 6 years. Sunday everyone went to Comic Con and I stayed home and did some creating. I will be showing you the projects that I made using April's Paper Pumpkin kit later on in the week.

So today's project is a card that I made because I finally wanted to try out Delicate Details Lace Tape. Another one of those things that I buy but just never seem to get around to using. There are a lot of uses for this product including as a mask for inking or spritzing. I decided to use it as is. I also used some Pink Paislee butterflies that I had on hand and Tea For Two DSP. 

Enjoy!
