OH, that's why.....

…. now I understand!

Ready for a shocker, Stampin' Up!'s paper may not always be exactly 8 1/2" x 11".  This picture shows the sliver of cardstock left when cutting both card bases exactly at 5 1/2".  For this very reason, I make sure that each of the card bases (or card layers) are exactly 5 1/2" wide.  The same holds true for the 11" measurement.

Forever Greenery Series

I just love the new Stampin' Up! Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper.  The greens are gorgeous.  I will be offering a PDF with pictures and measurements for at least ten cards and it will be available for purchase or free with a $50 Stampin' Up! purchase using my current Hostess Code.  I will post more information in the coming days.

Below are sneak peeks for the first four.

Helpful Tip

Place a Silicone Craft Sheet on top of the Garden Green layer to prevent Dimensionals from being placed crooked on your card.  Move the craft sheet as you slowly attach the card layer
