THIS OR THAT-- WHICH DO YOU PREFER? (Play along, for a chance to win one of these 2 cards)......

 

 I absolutely LOVE the Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper!!
Wanted to play the "This or That" game, so switched
up colors/patterns of the paper a bit and made 2 similar cards.

Both have the "thanks" on front coming from the Artistically Inked stamp set.
The Misty Moonlight & Cinnamon Cider ribbons are retired, but wanted to use
a ribbon on the skinnier side, and of course had to match the cards!!  (I could have
"colored" the white seam binding that is current-- but was in too much of a hurry).

 

You can see at this angle how the card has a right side opening, and the left fold part is actually glued shut.  I made a score line at 4 1/4 and then the normal score line is at 5 1/2 which folds the card in half.  Make sure to cut your white card stock long ways or a "Hotdog" cut.



 

THIS features the 2 colors Misty Moonlight and Blushing Bride with a white card base of course.  I did NOT use the Thick White card stock though like I normally would.  The scored and glued together smaller section worked out better with the thinner white paper. (just an FYI)

THAT features the 2 colors of Cinnamon Cider and Mint Macaron, but otherwise identical hand stamped creations today!


Please email me at:
stampinfool2006@yahoo.com
with your vote of "This or That" for a chance to
get one of these cards in the mail!!

YOU CAN ALSO LEAVE A COMMENT ON MY BLOG IF YOU WOULD LIKE


Thank you in advance for playing along, now go stamp something!!  (smile)

Maui 2021 Incentive Trip Card Swaps Made by other SU Demos......

 

This beautiful card was made by Jini Merck.

 It's a fun fold card with Pale Papaya as the base.  2 different patterns of the You're A Peach designer paper were used here.  The Sweet As A Peach stamp set was used & also 3 of the Champagne Rhinestones.  I really LOVE this card and all the products used!

 

The simple dragonfly card shown here was made by Sandy Adas.

She used the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder along with the Dragonfly Punch.  The Meadow dies were used as well.

Free As A Bird Stamp Set by StampinUP Makes A Lovely Thank You Card......

This class project was a big hit last month (or prior- can't remember!)  Anyway, in addition to the Free As A Bird set, I used the following StampinUP products:

--Layering Ovals Dies (now retired)

--Linen Thread

--Birch Background Stamp

--Greenery Embossing Folders

--Stampin' Blends


The card base is thick vanilla & I used another vanilla layer for the birch BG stamp.  Crumb Cake was used as well as Misty Moonlight.  If you have any questions about my creation, please contact me.  I would be glad to help. 

If you do not already have a StampinUP Demo that you use, I would LOVE to be your "go-to" gal for all your paper crafting needs.  Just let me know!  Thanks for the blog visit.....LORI

--Scalloped Contours Dies

--Polished Pink Open Weaved Ribbon

--In Color Markers (Polished Pink & Soft Succulent)
