Wetlands

I was inspired by a card made by Sandy M., a Stampin' Up! demonstrator.  I loved her card and I am CASEing it for you.  I have included the dimensions I figured out.

Stampin' Up! Products

Don't forget to stamp the inside of your card and the envelope!

I challenge you to follow my interpretation with my card map.

Dear Blog Followers

Dear Blog Followers,

On Sunday, April 20 I received a wonderful email from one of you.  My heart was so touched. 

Hello Beth,

I wanted to virtually introduce myself.  I am Debbie B.  I live in North Carolina.
I am a hobby demonstrator.  So, unfortunately, I will not be placing orders with you (as I have a very difficult time meeting my minimums).  But I hope you receive lots of orders from others!

Thank you so very much for your blog.  I am still fairly inexperienced and learning. I appreciate how you share the measurements and details for your cards/projects with us - very helpful!   Also, I have retired items, including DSP, and new items.  Seeing you use retired items, combined with some new items or colors is helpful and inspiring!

May you enjoy a blessed Easter,
Debbie

Thank you Debbie for taking the time to email me.  I am thrilled that my blog postings inspire you.

Altered Mini Composition Book

I stepped up how I normally alter mini composition books, I added a flap that wraps to the front of the book.  These books were available at Walmart the beginning of the school year for only $.88 for three.  They now are close to $2.00 for three.



 Stampin' Up! Products (unless noted otherwise)
  • Kiwi Kiss cardstock
  • Rose Red cardstock
  • Whisper White cardstock
  • Raspberry Tart Designer Series Paper
  • Flower Shop stamp set
  • Rose Red ink
  • Blossom Builder and Pansy hand punches
  • Basic Pearl Jewels
  • Mini Glue Dots
  • Magnets* (not SU)
Normally I include measurements in my blog post.  The mini composition books vary in the width (where the black tape folds over) and sometimes even in the length.  I had to modify the design for each mini composition book.

I purchased my magnets from DX (dealextreme.com)  
8x 1mm NdFeB Neodymium Magnet Circular Cylinder DIY Puzzle Set - Silver (100 PCS)
Item # 219204 - I paid $5.49 (free shipping)

Stampin' Up! Demonstrator

My craft studio is now full to its capacity.  Yep....I have reached a point where I can no longer squeeze another piece of cardstock in my room.  Oh, the dilemma!

As of today, I am no longer a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.  I am not losing too many customers, just my sister and myself.  But fear not....I will continue to blog. 

I have been busy, doing absolutely nothing.  Well it feels that way.  Our United Methodist Women's (UMW) circle group is keeping me busy.  Our group meets every month and I create a newsletter  that is distributed to our fifty plus members.  I have a fabulous co-leader, Luster M. and together we do our best to encourage our women in so many ways. 

Our UMW main focus is missions.  Each December we donate approximately $3,000 to local missions.  We are having our first Boston Butt fundraiser and hope to put a dent in our mission giving this year.  I have been pestering our members about their butt money.  No, I don't just say butt in my emails - I just laugh to myself (as I often do)!

I hope to post a picture soon.  Don't worry, I am not leaving you. 

In the meantime, I  challenge each and every one of you who reads this posts.  Tomorrow enrich the lives of others; "Pay it Forward".  Bring a smile into a stranger's heart, that stranger may need to be uplifted today.  A simple Random Act of Kindness can go a long way.  Need ideas?  Click here!

Jesus hugs to all my blog followers!

Spice Cake Series IV

I call this design a Sunrise Card.  This card is constructed like the card in this post.  Please DO NOT use the measurements given in that posting, this card is smaller.

Stampin' Up! Products (unless noted otherwise)
  • More Mustard cardstock
    • Card base measures 4 7/8" x 3 1/2" (cut 4 7/8" x 7", score at 3 1/2")
    • Card layer measures 4 5/8" x 1/4"
  • Very Vanilla cardstock
    • Card layer measures 4 5/8" x 3 1/4"
  • Spice Cake Designer Series Paper (retired)
    • Four or five pieces*, each measuring 4" x 1 1/2"

    • Card layer measures 4 5/8" x 2 1/2"
  • Flower Shop and Thank You Kindly stamp sets
  • Soft Suede ink
  • Pansy Punch
  • Dimensionals

*Depending on where you start laying down your strips, you may be shy of a sliver.  First cut off the paper that hangover the backside, if the strips are too small, you will need to use a fifth strip.  (Shhh...don't tell anyone, but I have a bare spot behind the pansy.)

Spice Cake III (correction)

I had misidentified a letter in the detailed layout of yesterday's card.  This is the correct detail.  My post HERE has been updated to reflect the correct layout.
