How To Fix a Blunder

Wednesday, August 24, 2022

What do you do when you make a stamping blunder like this?

We were making this card at a Tuesday class and then the blunder happens. I gave my customer a new piece of Cardstock to start over, but kept the blunder piece.

Well, I guess you could just discard it, but you know me, I like to fussy cut - so that's just what I did.
Stamp Set: BAMBOO BEAUTY (item #155478), WILD & SWEET (item #158775)

I added a circle cut from VELLUM CARD STOCK (item #157764), but our largest circle just wasn't quite as big as I wanted it to be so I pulled out my retired Circles Collection Dies.

The sentiment is from BACK ON YOUR FEET (*retired)

The banner die is from STYLISH SHAPES DIES (item #159183) and I used some RUSTIC METALLIC ADHESIVE BACKED DOTS (ITEM #159082) as an accent.

This card is not totally my own, I did see one on Pinterest by Stesha Bloodhart, but I made some changes to make it my own.

What did I change up?

I used a Crumb Cake Base 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" scored at 4-1/4" then a layer of Basic Black 5-1/8"x3-7/8" and the stamped layer on Basic White is 5" x 3-3/4". (Stesha's card is all white on white and only 1 layer on top of the base)

I changed up the sentiment too because I just am not fond of that bamboo saying that comes in the stamp set.

Looks like we will have two posts for today

These are the cards that Sue shared with us at the team meeting last week.

A sweet Panda card using the Wild & Sweet stamp set (item #158775) as well as the Bamboo Beauty stamp set (item #155478)

This second card shows how easy it is to make a beautiful card using the amazing designer papers. This one uses the Awash With Beauty 12x12 designer paper pack

Super simple, super sweet & soft - Sue punched out the flowers from the Wonderful World FREE designer paper using the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch (item #152709)

Genius! The "trees" on this Christmas card are stamped and cut out with the Wisteria Wishes bundle (item #158860)

Another Wonderful World Card - this paper is gorgeous, stampers!!

Another of the designer papers that I think is probably a best seller called Hues of Happiness (item #158820)

Paradise Palms & the Palm Dies must be Sue's favorite as she loves anything tropical. (item #157716) & (item #157718)

Sue combined Sending Smiles Bundle (item #158707) with the dies from Seasonal Chic (item #158815)

A super cute and fun card using the Hippest Hippos (free during SAB with a $50 order) The hippos dies are also free with another $50 order. The Palm tree from the Palm Dies and the stones from Oceanfront Stamp Set (item #157862)

And another card using the Wild & Sweet Stamp Set.

And then this next card is Sue's swap card

Sue used the Soft Seedlings stamp set (item #159905) and the Baby Wipe Technique. - I love it!!

On the vacation front: yesterday we visited the Creation Museum. It is so nice having our friends with us.

This almost reminds me of the elephant that is in the entrance to the Smithsonian Museum in DC and at the museum in the Night At The Museum Movie. (except that this one is just the skeleton

These are two of the pictures that I took depicting when God brought the animals to Adam to name.

We saw a couple movies and a planetarium show. Our God sure is amazing, isn't He??
