Well….here you go – basically just (2) subtle changes! This card just makes me smile and you know what else this card would make…a super gift – You could make a dozen of these and make (3) different sentiments in (4) different color combinations and WOW – you will have a super special gift that anyone would love.
I am sure that you can hardly see the changes but when you hold them in your hand you can see that the little "stepped up" touches are just seconds to do but do "dress it up"!
One thing that I forgot to mention yesterday was that when you "double up" on the flowers like I did…it does make a difference to stamp one on the card and then layer the other one with the glue dot over it. This makes it look great when you curl up the flower petals!
One the above photo you can see that I added the little pearl – this makes it a bit more special but if you did not have a pearl, you could also use the white gel pen and that would do the trick as well! Do you see the little "trio dots" – you know me, this is something that I love to do and it does add depth to your stamped image!
The other trick I did was (2) simple scored lines on both the top and the bottom of the stamped image piece. I liked to turn the stamped image down so the scoring lines are up! This takes simply seconds and makes a huge difference with add no additional product.
One cute card! Have fun with color…have fun with different sentiments…just have fun! That IS the name of the game as without fun we will be stressed and grumpy and that's not fun!
I am having SUPER FUN with Hannah and she had a great day yesterday.The whole barn had a great day. It is just wonderful to be with my barn friends and seeing beautiful horses show their athletic beauty. Jack has spring from the Vets and is happy to be home with his buddies!
Tomorrow is a personal challenge for you from me…I think that you will like it = I am going to give you a hint…it uses (3) pieces of paper and shapes that you all can do!
Thanks for popping in, feel free to email me and until tomorrow….stampin' hugs!
p.s. – I forgot something….on today's card I did pop it up with stampin' dimensionals = we all know that this simple touch always makes a huge difference. On Saturday's card, I simply kept it a flat card.
Hello Susan: I didn’t have a chance to comment yesterday but here I am to tell you that your stepped up version is beautiful. I love the addition of the pearls and the scored border, very lovely details on your stepped up version.
Thank you for sharing.
I do like the addition of the pearls! Both version are nice!
Hope the rest of the horse show went well. Is Jack feeling better, yet?
Cyberhugs!
Love the stepped up version too! Those few changes made it pop!!
What a difference small changes make…..love this! The score lines and pearls are perfect! So glad Jack is better too!
It’s amazing what a difference some score lines can make. The stepped up version is even prettier! Did you use a marker to make the dot trios? They add a great touch too.
What a great idea to share one card Sat. and step it up on Sunday. It just makes me think differently about my card making. I do like simple cards. Love your designs. Thanks for sharing them.
the whole barn was hsppy ~ I like that!
SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL! Those simple little additions really make this already lovely design pop. This is one of my favorite stamp sets and you showcase it wonderfully. You and your cards are such an inspiration to me. You brighten my days!
Nice additions to yesterday’s card. Simple and clean, just the way we like it!
Love both but the stepped up version’s score lines just really stepped up more than a notch for me. The pearls don’t always mail well so maybe I would try the gel pen trick. I need to do more scoring! Heck, what am I saying – I need to make something first!
Yeah!I am so glad that you liked the cards. I think this is the sweetest set and one that is often overlooked in the catalog!
Jack is home and happy to be home – he must have had some nasty virus! Thanks for thinking of him – I was very worried!
Isn’t it funny how a simple change can make a difference?
The changes literally took seconds!
Yes, I just used our Stampin’ Up! markers….I love my trio of dots!
Thanks for the comment…I have been trying this on the weekends and people seem to enjoy it! I hope you pop back again next weekend!
I love my barn friends!
Thanks for making me smile! I am totally with you – I love this stamp set!
You’re the best….and of course your sister too!
What can I say but you make me laugh and keep me on my toes!Score away my friend….score away!
