I am an Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.
This blog is a place to share my creations to make you smile and sometimes laugh.
I love card making and scrap booking plus a WHOLE lot more! I am definitely a child of the 70's and 80's too! I LOVE Pinterest too!!
Inspired by Patty Bennett, first I embossed some Daffodil Delight Two Toned cardstock. It's two colors, one on each side. Look at the difference of the two tones, a dark and a light version of the cardstock.
Then, I inked the cardstock with Peach Pie, Timid Tiger, Calypso Coral. The first time, I was pressing too hard and you could see lines.
I figured I had "another chance," so I flipped them over and tried again on the back. Doesn't that look better?
I used Woven Textures DSP as the background to the Embossed Sunflowers. These cards are ready for a sentiment.
Inspired by Lynn Starzl and her card, I created the Triple Arch card. Scroll to the bottom for a full video tutorial including measurements.
I used the Kintsugi Inspirations DSP and the Everyday Arches dies. I used the 4th die. This is the card closed.
I cut out 2 colored cardstock (Misty Moonlight) 2 Basic White, and 2 out of the Kintsugi Inspirations DSP.
To connect them I used 2 pieces of Basic White measuring 1-1/2" X 2" scored at 1" and used them as connectors on the "back" of the die cuts. I flipped the trio over and added the DSP.
This is the card opened showing the front where I decorated it with some of the die cuts from the DSP.
This is the back of the card where there is room for your writing.

2. If you have been a customer of mine this past year, you will be receiving the new Sept.-Dec. mini catalog in the mail. I'm excited to see the new items!
Here is today's quote. The next few quotes are from a calendar I had and I saved the pages and post them around my office and room.
This quote reminds me to not strive for perfection, instead celebrate the progress or the journey!! Anyone else find it hard NOT to make things "perfect" before you share it?
I really like the Beautiful Gallery DSP and love this fun fold. Scroll down for a full video tutorial to make this special fun fold, including measurements and how to make a template to use.
Which DSP do you prefer? The landscape or the flowers?
