By utilizing only 3" widths from your 12"x 12" DSP, you can create layers for 8 cards instead of 6. 

Before you cut the 3" wide strips, depending on what cards you are making you may want to cut a few 1/2" strips off horizontally before for you cut your 3" vertical strips; these are for the inside of the cards. Careful planning and you get many more cards from you DSP/

I used Berry Burst and Pretty in Pink because I had some, the coordinating color for this DSP would be Magenta Madness and Polished Pink

Blogging and Email

I know I get tired of receiving emails everyday from a company wanting my business. I blog not because I receive monetary value. I receive on occasion, an order every few months. The hours I take creating a card, taking pictures and writing a blog equates to literally no income. I have to purchase the products I use.

There is a new change coming to my blog posts. I will be posting up to two blog posts every day but you will receive only one email every other day.  So...if you don't like the picture of the first card in an email, don't forget to scroll down, you might miss a card that you are excited about recreating.

Happy Stampin'!
