The DSP is the Star of the Show

 Continuing on with my scrappy strip techniques, I've got a Star Quilt pattern for you. It looks much more complex and involved than it actually is. The secret lies in four small squares!


Cardstock and DSP Measurements

  • Thick Basic White card base (5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored and folded in half at 4-1/4")
  • Basic White cardstock (3" x 3", four 3/4" x 3/4" squares)
  • Night of Navy cardstock (3-1/4" x 3-1/4")
  • Mediterranean Blooms DSP 
    • Pattern 1 (oranges): 2-1/2" x 4", 1/2" x 5"
    • Pattern 2 (lemons/blossoms): 1/2" x 5"
    • Pattern 3 (Navy with white flowers): 1/2"x 5"
    • Pattern 4 (Navy with white diamonds): 1/2" x 5"
    • Additional strip of choice: 1/2" x either 4" or 5-1/4" (for inside)

Directions
  1. Apply small amount of adhesive near the end of one of the 1/2" strips and adhere to Basic White 3" square so that one edge runs along a diagonal of the square.
  2. Apply small amount of adhesive near the end of a second 1/2" strip and adhere adjacent to the first strip (on the other side of the diagonal).
  3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 with the remaining strips, working on the opposite diagonal.
  4. Weave the strips, then adhere the whole of each strip to the Basic White square. Trim the parts that hang over the edge.
  5. Adhere one of the 3/4" squares to each corner.
  6. Emboss the Basic White 3" square using the Metallic Plate embossing folder (or other folder of choice).
  7. Adhere Basic White square to the Night of Navy square.
  8. Adhere large DSP layer to the left side of the card front, then attach star layer with Dimensionals.
  9. Stamp "thanks" in Night of Navy ink in bottom right corner.
  10. Add yellow dot from the Glossy Dots Assortment to the center of the star.
  11. Adhere additional card strip to decorate inside, if desired.
