Linda and I got together to do some stamping on Saturday and I decided to recreate a card that was featured in Stampin Success, a magazine that we as demonstrators get every two months. It had a lot of steps, some embossing and was fun to make. However, when I thought about using this card in a class, it seemed too complicated so I decided to make a simpler version using the same ideas.
Can you see the changes I made?
1. It was hard to get the Vine Street embossing folder to line up straight to emboss just one strip of the vine, so I embossed the entire card.
2. For a group of people to use the stamp a majig to place the stamp in a line 8 times it would take too long, so,I found that the Sycamore Designer paper had a similar design which I cut to size.
3. Instead of stamping and embossing a design on the colored card stock before punching it out, I just punched out plain card stock using the a punch from the Itty Bitty Punch pack.
The card has the same design feel with the simple changes I made, but will help all of my customers have a successful experience. Which card do you like best?
Does this card look a bit familiar to you? Well, I used the basic design to create one of my Leadership swaps. See if you can see the similarities.
I really like yours better- think it has more "pop." You're a creative thinker!
