* A pet peeve of mine is the different in Stampin' Up!'s Basic White and the white cardstock used in their Paper Pumpkin kits. I always line the inside of my cards with Whisper White (Basic White). The gray contrast of the inside of the card kit is too noticeable. I decided to make this an easel card so that the "white" is not seen from the inside.   Fellow Paper Pumpkin Kit Lovers - write to Paper Pumpkin/Stampin' Up!.

I was inspired to make this card after watch Julie, a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator's video. The quadrilaterial card was not her original idea. Check out her video HERE. I added an additional layer and changed one of her measurements.

I use liquid glue on 90% of my cards now. It is economical and I believe it holds layers together better. I glued the DSP down first, stamped the sentiment and then I applied to glue to the WW layer and placed down the embossed layer.
