Card 10 - My favorite

The Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper Tutorial is now available and can be yours for FREE with your $60 Stampin' Up! order using my Hostess Code which is located in the upper right hand corner of my blog in "web version".  Can't find the code, EMAIL me. The tutorial is also available for purchase for $12.95.

Check out my Sneak Peek for the twelve cards I created.  Each post shows what products I used. In this tutorial, I focused on making the most of your DSP using widths of 3". By using this width you increase the number of cards from SIX to EIGHT! That is a bargain. There were two patterns that I used a larger width. They happened to be the two patterns that I did not like - Pale Papaya, reverse side, gold stripes.

Sneak Peeks can be found HERE.
