 This is part 1 of a 4 part series featuring the Curvy Dies and Quite Curvy Stamp Set from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. They were part of the Quite Curvy Bundle. These 7 cards are pretty basic, feature various DSP, and are quick and easy to make.  Don't feel you have to use the same patterned DSP - pick from something you have on hand and coordinate it with matching CS.


-The standard size bottom mat for this first card was cut from a piece of Come Sail Away DSP.
-I used the dotted Curvy Die to cut a piece from Mossy Meadow CS. These pieces can be cut to any width desired.
-The lighthouse and sentiment are from the Sailing Home Stamp Set.  
-I stamped the lighthouse image with Versamark Ink and heat embossed it with White Embossing Powder.
-The sentiment was stamped using Mossy Meadow Ink on Whisper White CS and cut out using one of the Ornate Frames Dies. It was popped up with dimensionals.





-The bottom mat was cut from Night of Navy CS.
-The top mat was cut from Misty Moonlight CS.
-I cut a 1-1/4" strip of Misty Moonlight DSP (you can use the pattern of your choice). And attached it to the Misty Moonlight Mat (about 3/4" from the bottom) with Tape Runner.
-I used the dotted Curvy Die to cut a coordinating piece of DSP from the Dandy Garden DSP
pack.  I attached it as shown with Tape Runner.
-The dragonfly was cut with the Dragonfly Punch from a piece of the Dandy Garden DSP and colored with Wink of Stella. It was popped up with Dimensionals.
-The sentiment is from the featured Quite Curvy Stamp Set and was stamped on a scrap piece of Whisper White CS using Misty Moonlight Ink, and popped up with Dimensionals as shown.  (I love this sentiment.)
Lastly I added 3 of the Iridescent Pearls.
-This card was CASED from one I saw on Pinterest by Kim Arlene.


-The bottom mat was cut from Garden Green CS.
-The top mat was cut from Garden Lane DSP.
-I used the dotted Curvy Die to cut a piece from Whisper White CS.  I attached a thin strip of Garden Green under the left edge to add a little contrast between the top mat and the Curvy Piece..
-The flower was stamped in Garden Green Ink and is from the Dragonfly Garden Stamp Set.
-The sentiment is from the featured set and embossed with White Embossing powder. It was attached with Tape Runner.
-Lastly I added a few coordinating Enamel Shapes and a White Twine Bow.
-This card was inspired by one I saw on Pinterest by Ann Alexander.


-The bottom mat was cut from Rich Razzleberry CS.
-The standard size top mat was cut from Always Artichole CS and attached to the bottom mat with Tape Runner.
-Next a cut 3rd mat from a Piece of Dandy Garden DSP (1/4") smaller at 4-3/4x3-1/2" and attached with Tape Runner.
-I again used the Dotted Curvy Die to cut a piece from Blackberry Bliss CS and attached it as shown with Tape Runner.
-The Dragonfly was cut from a piece of Dany Garden DSP as in the second card above, I applied Wink of Stella and popped it up with Dimensionals.
- I used the same sentiment as on the above two cards - it was embossed with White Embossing powder onto the Blackberry Bliss Piece.
-Lastly I added 2 coordinating Enamel Hearts, as shown.
-This was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest by Rene Purvine.
