Please let me hear from you!

This blog is for sharing a love of paper crafting. I love paper crafting -
and Stampin' Up! products in particular -
so much so, that I became an independent Stampin' Up!®™ demonstrator earlier this year!
Full disclosure: I get a small commission on purchases made using links from this website - but this in no way affects your price. It just serves to help support this blog. Thank you in advance for that support!

Enjoy browsing my blog, and I'd love to hear from you.
It is what helps make the time I put into this blog feel worthwhile, and always brightens my day.

Another Red, White & Black


It always amazes me how little paper it takes to make a card.  I recently participated in a couple of swaps where I got some 6" x 6" papers and some 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" papers.  The smaller ones are great for focals or matting focals.  The larger pieces work great for backgrounds for my cards, with enough left over to use on the inside of the card.  I've made several cards using them, and hardly made a dent.  Here's another one.

This focal was stamped and embossed with fine black powder (HOTP stamps). Though you can't see it in the picture, the white card mat is embossed.  The white stripe is grosgrain ribbon; the three little vinyl pieces in the upper right corner came from a Scrapbooking Dazzles set.
