This is a fun way to make something that looks complicated when it's really very simple.
I started with a piece of DSP cut to 5" x 3 3/4", then placed the sentiment in the center.
Cut four strips whatever width you like. I think narrower strips look better. These are a little on the wider side.
Place the strips one at a time around the sentiment (they will overhang your DSP), and then trim the overhang flush with the DSP.
Finally, place the DSP onto a cardstock mat, then place that onto the card.

For this card I used:
Inked Botanicals DSP
Stylish Shapes dies
Crafting with You sentiment
Calypso Coral/VV cardstock
Crushed Curry, Pretty Peacock, and Calypso Coral ink
