Get Inspired

I admit it - I have tons of paper and book shelves full of stamps!  I love NEW products and tend to use them for a month or two and then they get lost in my mind.

I search Pinterest for inspiration and I pick out pattern paper that I have forgotten about and I go to the COLOR LAB to find the right colors to match.

Please enjoy this FREE card instructions.  Please consider using me as your Stampin' Up! Demonstrator by shopping HERE.

Using A1 Envelopes

I have purchased and received A1 envelopes that I seldom use.  The envelopes measure 5 1/8" X 3 5/8" and are typically used for response or notecard envelopes.

Using your 12" x 12" cardstock you are able to cut out three cards (directions below).   With an 8 1/2" x 11" piece of cardstock you will  only get you two cards.  My cards measure 7" x 4 7/8" (unfolded)

Frugal Tips

• Don't forget, make use of the unused space inside the Kiwi Kiss card layer.  Cut out some elements with your punches.
• When cutting 12" x 12" paper, instead of cutting a piece 3 3/4" wide
• First cut it at 4" inches
• Cut of the length you need (Example for this card, I would have cut a piece to 4" x 3 1/4")
• Trim the piece so it measures 3 1/4" x 3 3/4"
• The remaining strip of paper is now at a width more commonly used is 4"  Instead of cutting the 12 x 12 at 3 3/4" your leftover piece is a commonly used width.
• Clear as mud?  Hopefully this picture illustrates this better.
