Crazy Crafters Blog Hop | Special Guest Dena Rekow

Welcome to the Crazy Crafters Blog Hop, this month we have Dena Rekow joining us as special guest.  If you have never visited Dena's blog - The Creativity Cave, be sure to make you way over and you will find so many inspiring projects and tutorials.

I love Dena's touch of quirky humour in her tutorials, there is always something that puts a smile on my face. As I was scrolling through the Creativity Cave to decide what project to CASE (Copy And selectively Edit), I decided when she nailed me with her below creations - I'll admit it, I'm a DSP hoarder,.... I have every intention and so many ideas in my head, but it's just so pretty I don't want to cut into those lovely sheets!

What caught my attention with these cards was how Dena used thinlets to showcase the DSP.  Here is my take on this technique:

 

I faced my usual fear as I cut my It's My Party DSP! I layered onto Basic Black and Crushed Curry, the small stars are cut using one of the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits, and the larger ones from Stars Framelit Dies.  I added some shimmer with Wink of Stella, and the sentiment from Party with Cake. I also decorated the inside of the card (and used even more DSP!)

I would love it if you could pin my cards! Thank you so much Dena for your time and inspiration - I am one step closer to using DSP instead of just looking at how lovely it is! Make sure you hop all the way around our Crazy Crafters hop and see all the incredible ideas and creations, and if you have a chance please leave a comment, we love receiving comments!
