Now please do not click me off….I know that there are no “Bells & Whistles” to this post BUT.….it is jazzed up a bit and sometimes you have a bit of extra time to why not?
I have a confession when I was making this…..“type A Susan” did not like the way that the dots were lined up so I decided to make lemonade and make it work! By adding the additional dots and making the overlay 1/4″ smaller….made it stepped up…a bit!
You can see that adding the extra row and overlapping the dots gave instant dimension, so fast yet so fun! I know that I have blogged a bunch about how I like to use fun foam when lifting a rather large image like this and yep, I did it today!
Trust me, dimensionals work great but again, type “A” me does not like saggy cards and using the fun foam eliminates that – I purchase it from Amazon and here is the link. I am sure that you can find it in craft stores but I like the thickness of this and using Fast Fuse or tear – n- tape works great!
I just adore this stamp and on June 1st when the new catalog rolls out, I will have a FUN challenge for you to see how well you know me and one person will win a stamp set from me….it is a keeper like this! 🙂
I have not made a bunch of posts using the below stamp set…but watch out, I am going to do so – with my son being a teacher, I thought that I could make some fun cards for him…this stamp set is so on trend and as I have said before the ideas are creative and endless
Here is your fun picture that you can save foe reference for the future, Yep, I used the envelope liner framelits and if you do not have it, you need it. So fast and easy!
The hour glass has turned over to get June 1st here – are you excited??? I am just excited to be able to share some ting that I want to teach – educate on….like the new framelits for squares, hearts etc….I was 1st thinking – wow, the ones that we have will be obsolete? Well…truth be told yes, they are walking the plank but “I GET IT” and I am excited to share with you the in’s and out’s of why Stampin’ Up! did this!
Enjoy the day,,,make some memories and make sure you laugh….the best medicine one could have!
I like how you stepped it up today. The offset of the dots work so well and the lift gives it that special “zous.” Nice job! Enjoy your day!
I like today’s card best also. I hope you’re having a blast on your trip!
A good tip for making lemonade from lemons!!!! Something to remember! ? The extra dots really do make this card work.
I, too, like today’s card with the extra dots and white edge showing. I everything is going very smoothly and you are having a wonderful time.
I’m surprised at the difference adding the extra row of dots and off-setting them makes. You are so clever–not sure I would ever have thought of that! I tend to avoid those big stamps bc I don’t know what to do with them but this is a cute idea. TFS.
i MUST BE TIRED, I CAN’T SEE THE DIFFERENCE EXCEPT THAT IT IS POPPED UP. I WILL HAVE TO LOOK AT YESTERDAY’S AGAIN. HOPING YOU AREN’T TIRED AND HAVING THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE AS WELL AS JOHN!
