I have to admit, I was very excited when Stampin’Up! released this in their most recent Online Exclusives, but I had a more difficult time than expected creating with it. Truthfully, The images and sentiments are awesome, but i just was having a hard time creating something different from what I had seen other demos create in my other groups.
Couple the struggle to think outside the box and the crazy week I had had, it caused me to pause for a few days. Thus, the card were created live on Thursday and Friday (2 cards each day). Once I broke the mold, I actually found working with this set and dies so much fun.
Below are the ingredients and measurements for all four cards. While I am blogging about each card, if you would like the kits for these projects, you can place a minimum $40 order (prior to shipping and taxes) using the host code HB6DEZH2 by Monday, November 25th to receive 8 cards kits, 2 of each card created for FREE! If you spend $50 using the host code (prior to shipping and taxes) and I will also send you an embellishment too!
