To My Friend

Today's card is a sneak peek from my Stamp-a-Stack classes this month.  I love the simplicity of this card - cardstock, stamps, ink and dimensionals.  Sometimes it's nice to remember that you don't necessarily need a bunch of accessories to make a super cute card :-)


Thanks for stopping by!

Scored for Texture

I had a class over the weekend to showcase Stampin' Up!'s Simply Scored scoring tool (item #122334, $29.95). This card features just a little bit of texture around the image panel. Scoring 1/4" and 1/2" in from each side creates a simple border - perfect for masculine cards.


This second card uses the Simply Scored Diagonal Plate (item #125586, $11.95). Scoring every inch from the top and bottom creates a nice crosshatch pattern that reminded me a baby quilt.

Stitched Blossom

Hi stampers! I'm back with another card to share. I love using the Lattice embossing folder - it makes everything look like fabric. I stamped and colored this floral image and then ran the panel through the Big Shot. The end result is something that looks a bit like cross-stitch! Fun, huh?
