The first card is very masculine but could be changed to a more feminine card with a different color choice.\u00a0 Is uses Crumb Cake and Whisper White with a Basic Black dragonfly.<\/p>\n
Let’s talk about that dragonfly for a minute.\u00a0 Something happened when I was cutting them out and the cut did not go through the whole way.\u00a0 It was a happy mistake because I really love the way it turned out.\u00a0 So, I was able to recreate it by using my old Big Shot platform and old acrylic plates.\u00a0 I did not use the Precision Plate.\u00a0 These dies don’t work well with this configuration, so it will make it so the peices aren’t cut through the whole way.\u00a0 You may have to play with it a bit.\u00a0 ALSO…\u00a0 I added texture with clear Wink of Stella on the wings (which turned out gold-ish, so that is an option too!) and Fine Tip Glue for the body.\u00a0 It adds the shininess.<\/p>\n

The second card was just a basic stamping job and a hair of fussy cutting (cutting out the piece) for the banner.\u00a0 I didn’t feel like getting out the framelit that goes with the set just for one simple little piece…\u00a0 It’s the Black Baker’s Twine and Enamel Shapes that add just the right kind of bling to dress it up!<\/p>\n
How do you keep simplicity in your cards?<\/p>\n
Until next time…\u00a0 keep it simple, Stampers!<\/p>\n

Everyone once in a while, I have to take a step back and remember that life is all about simplicity. It struck me this morning when watching one of those retirement fund commercials.\u00a0 I couldn’t tell you who the advertiser is, but it’s all about having the money to do what you want to do […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2279","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"\n
