Hang on to your expired Stampin' Up! Catalogs! They are packed full of ideas and always a wonderful source of inspiration. The layout for today's card evolved from a card featured in the Stampin' Up! 2008 Spring/Summer Idea Book and Catalog (p. 18, to be exact). Thank goodness for sticky notes to identify my old favorites!
Today's 1 Minute to "WOW" Video Tutorial shows you how quick and easy it is to create a wide scallop border using the Stampin' Up! Fancy Flower Punch.
STAMPIN' PRETTY TIPS:
-
The Petal Card Extra Large Double Punch cuts and scores the mini envelope. Tr?s Cool. It's 1" x 1" when folded. So sweet with a little note tucked inside. - A touch of paper piecing gives new life to my snowman's scarf and hat. Cute Christmas is a versatile and charming stamp set from the Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini Catalog.
- Black Flourish Designer Jewels stand in as little buttons and add just a touch of glamour to the heart on the envelope.
