Oppsy Daisy!

We thought we’d better update anyone who tried to place an order in the last day or two – We used Square process for credit cards and they suddenly quit working. We disconnected and tried to reconnect (Go Daddy told us too!) and now it doesn’t recognize our passwords. We tried calling square only to be told there is an “uncommon outage” whatever that means! We have reconnected credit cards to Go Daddy so the website is again accepting credit cards! Thanks to Lynn who called me to let me know she was having trouble! So a few quick cards I made for my son – hard to stay away from flowers!

All using the same stamp and random cutting dies I found in my stash – really old ones!

So I did take Kevin’s advice yesterday and didn’t “over due it” and stamped pretty much all day! I love this layout! I started with several sheets of 8.5×12 card stock and cut at 5.5” on the 11 inch side; then cut two pieces 4×5.25” and 3.75×5”. I discovered that you can’t score the paper under the circles to just cover the circles to save paper. You have to use a full 3.75×5 piece. Well, I guess you don’t have to but if you want your card to look good you need to! What I like about cutting several cards is then I can just make cards and not have to get up and cut every time. I did take two circle die cuts and cut out of the 4×5.35” paper- they did go on random – in other words I didn’t measure to get them in an exact spot. I scored the 3.75×5 all the way across- again it makes the cards even across.

Normally I would not tape these pieces together and stamp but because of the curl on the scored paper and I wanted a photo- I had to.

Will let this be all for now- but more to come!

Happy Saturday!

Aloe plant – wishing you… card

Dull Glossy Paper, Thinking of You

Happy Saturday and wishing you a song in your heart! The background paper on this card is white felt and I used glue to assemble all the pieces except the aloe plant in a pot. For the aloe plant, a 3D foam square was used to pop it up (tip below!) and it was colored with alcohol ink markers. The white swatch with the words and squares is dull glossy paper.
