In all honesty, I made card #9 first. I ran the card front through the embossing machine using the Lovely Floral 3D embossing folder. I felt it was rather plain, so I added color to the embossing folder and created Card #8. It is definitely louder than its predecessor. 

I stamped the sentiment on a tag.

Then I adhered a strip of DSP to the bottom of the card front, attached the sentiment using dimensionals, and embellished each card. The other Very Vanilla panel was added to the inside of the card.

Here is the template I used to cut my 12 x 12 sheet of DSP:

The circled pink number refers to the card number where the piece of DSP was used. This entry is for cards 8 and 9.
