Mail Chimp and Me

I am trying to navigate using another email subscription company for my blog posts. Hopefully you will receive this email twice. You do not need to let me know if you received two, I'll already know because I subscribe to my own blog.

Please be patient with me as I don't know how a new blog post will be generated.

Have a great Monday!

Flower & Field Tri Fold Shutter Card

I was inspired to create this card after viewing THIS YouTube video.  I have listed my measurements below.  I did find an error in one measurement stated in the video.

This card is not for the faint at heart.  I, preferring continuity of the pattern paper, made this difficult to make.  At least it was a free Sale-A-Bration Designer Series Paper because of my mistakes that ended up in File #13.  You DEFINITELY need to make up a sample before attempting this.

The Nature's Harvest Tutorial is now available. Create nine beautiful cards using the Nature's Harvest stamp set and Harvest dies.  There are two fun fold cards and a card that has a removable bookmark. 

Each updated post will have what Designer Series Paper I used on each card detail. I used Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper that I had on hand. I choose background patterns so you could easily adapt any card to the DSP you have.

Please a $60 order at Stampin' Up! using my Hostess Code (top right hand corner - desktop version) and receive the tutorial for FREE.  The tutorial is also available for purchase for $9.95.
