and sentiment layer combo.

I added some ribbon that was colored with a Stampin' Blend.

Color Combo includes:
Sahara Sand, Vanilla, Gray Granite, Flirty Flamingo

Here are a few StampinUP products used:
--Woven Heirlooms Stamp Set

--Wink of Stella
--Crinkled Seam Binding

 Please watch the video below and if you have questions on
my "switcharoo" video just let me know.

****Side Note****  I wish now I would have used
a gray Stampin' Write marker to color dark areas BEFORE
I stamped the image instead of using a Stampin' Blend
AFTER I stamped the image.  Just an FYI.....

Thanks very much in advance for tuning into

Lovely You Stamp Set and Old World Paper Emboss Folder by StampinUP

This would be a very simple card layout to duplicate
if you like it?  Any embossing folder & circle punches/dies
would work!

Here is a list of StampinUP products I used:
--Retired Glitter Dots
--Rectangle Stitched Dies
--3 Different size Circle Punches
--Old World Paper 3D Emboss Folder
--Stampin Write Markers
--Lovely You Stamp Set

Color Combo Includes:
Just Jade, Flirty Flamingo, Daffodil Delight,
Vanilla, Soft Sea Foam and Sahara Sand (words)

I inked up the embossing folder with Just Jade
BEFORE running the paper & folder thru the Big Shot.
Those crinkle lines really are defined with the ink on there
like that-- don't you think?


If you have any questions about this card or the
technique I used, please let me know.
Thank you very much for blogging by......LORI

Another Card Sample w/ the Playful Pets Suite-- LOVE the Designer Paper!!


I did a little "Mystery Stamping" tonight via ZOOM
with the Stampin' Stray Ducklings group  : )

Cut one pc. of designer paper into 4 pcs. (your choice)
Start out with a  4 x 5 1/4 size for this.
The vertical line behind the ovals should be your first cut
at 2 1/2 inches in.
Then on the left side, you would cut a pc. 3 inches & also have 
one more pc.
On the right side you would cut a pc. at 2 inches &
also have a remaining pc. from that side.

Put the 4 pcs. together like a puzzle on the front of your card base.
Then simply turn 2 pcs. over on opposite sides to show the 2 
different patterns of the designer paper.

Very easy card layout & then just finish off with whatever image,
punches, dies, ribbon etc. that you want to use!!

If you have any questions with the cutting directions, please
let me know!!  I would be happy to help.
Thanks for the blog visit........LORI

Fun StampinUP Items in the Boho Indigo Product Medley make this card......

I just have to say......I LOVE VANILLA & NAVY
together!!  Night of Navy has always been in my top
5 of all the StampinUP colors!!  What about you?

Anyway, you can find the Boho Indigo products on pg. 9
in the Annual Catalog.

A couple other StampinUP items used include:
--Stitched Rectangle Dies
--Tasteful Labels Dies

I used just one pc. of the designer paper
from this product medley.  (just cut a thin strip off & turn 
over to use back side for contrasting pattern)  Make sense?

The set of dies with this medley cut out the vanilla vines AND
the vase.  Let me know if you have questions other than
my info above.

Thanks very much for blogging by......HAPPY 4TH OF JULY WEEKEND!!
