Stampin' Up! Stamping Basic Series #4 - Measuring & Cutting

One of the areas of papercrafting that seems to be the most intimidating for new papercrafters is how to measure and cut cardstock and designer series paper.  My mantra is "It's only paper!".  In this video tutorial, I share the most common scoring and cutting measurements.  Once you are comfortable with these, start experimenting with different measurements.  Before long, measuring, cutting and scoring any size will become second nature!  Happy Stamping!

Stampin' Up! Last card in the Oh So Eclectic class

This is the last card in the Oh So Eclectic Sweet Suite Class.  The die cut image reminds me of a garden trellis.  To add some more texture to the flowers, I colored the faceted gems with the Dark Razzleberry Stampin' Blends.  I can almost smell the flowers!

Stampin' Up! Animal Outing

I should have named this post "A Purple Rhino For Anna".  This was the card I sent Anna for her birthday using the Animal Outing stamp set.  I didn't think I was going to like this stamp set.  It was an all attendee give-a-way at Stampin' Up!s On Stage last month.  I have used it a couple of times and it is definitely growing on me! So I will order the coordinating framelits and designer series paper when the catalog goes live in June...sigh....

Stampin' Up! Oh So Eclectic Lemon Lime Twist

Another card from my Oh So Eclectic Sweet Suite card class.  I pulled the greeting from the Climbing Orchid Stamp Set and the Glimmer Paper is from the Myths and Magic Suite from the Occasions Catalog.  I confess that I wasn't so sure about the Lemon Lime Twist color.  It's so bright!  But it is one of my go to colors and I will be sad to see it retire in 21019.  It just brightens up this card!
