Happy Birthday Flora & Flutter

My inspiration came from Pinterest

Why on earth does my brain take the longest path to create a card.  I created a card last night and it took over one hour and plenty of trashed cardstock.  This morning I knew there had to be an easier way. Ummmm…..Rectangle Stitched Dies!!

Time to say goodbye......

I am leaving my cherished United Methodist Women sisters next month.  My husband and I purchased a home near our son, daughter-in-law and granddaughters.  It's time to me to be a full-time grandma.

I leave behind many friends and as a thank you for their friendship, I created a bookmark for all of them.

Storage Tip for Stitched Rectangle Framelits

I am loving Stampin' Up!'s newest die set - Stitched Rectangle Framelits.  I decided to share how I store these dies.

• Rectangle Stitched Framelits #148551
• I numbered them with a fine tip Sharpie
• Number 1 is the largest
• Full Wide Stamp Case #127551
• I use this larger size case to also hold my Large Letter Framelits
• Magnetic Sheet
• Home Depot vent covers
• Cut to 7" x 5"
• One small strip for the back
• Cardboard backing 7" x 5"
• Cardstock in various sizes
• Small binder clips
• Printed details on paper and cut size *

* I only measured the finished dies to the closest eighths.  Sixteenth inches are harder to count.

Please consider me when you select your Stampin' Up! demonstrator.  I provide measurements on all my projects for free.  If you enter the hostess code at the top right-hand side of my blog, my name comes up in your Shopping Cart.  The PDF file is free HERE.  If you download this, please consider placing a Stampin' Up! order with me using my Hostess Code.
