SHARING THE ART OF HANDCRAFTED CARDS...BY LORI PINTO
I was inspired to make my own border for this card project after seeing this great print from the Unbounded Beauty DSP. I decided to use my Stampin’ Up! Masking Paper and trimmed a sheet into (4) 1/4″ strips. This made for easy removal of the strips once I was done with adding color to …
When I first saw the Poised Peony Stamp Set, I was immediately drawn to the large single Peony image! I can imagine many different ways to make this image pop and decided my first project would be a design with a watercolor effect. To do this, I pulled out my Stampin’ Spritzer. POISED PEONY STAMP …
I was feeling a little ‘colorful’ when I designed this card, but I really love the new In Color – Petunia Pop and decided to go for it! I matched the Petunia Pop with Daffodil Delight and think it turned out well! I am using the Country Flowers bundle – perfect for simple line stamping …

This quick panel card took about 15 minutes to create! I haven’t gotten into my Wildflower Designs bundle yet, but I just had to get into this beautiful DSP. It is called Wildly Flowering DSP and I am in love with each of these prints. I used two coordinating prints of the designer series paper. …
In this sketch to finished project, we are showcasing the Take To The Sky designer series paper and the (carried over) Perennial Postage Dies! This DSP is great for any occasion, but as soon as I saw it, I was thinking of all the fabulous masculine projects it would be perfect for. Take To The …
