Shocking before and after cards.


Can you see the difference?  I made this card twice, once with my Perfect Layers rulers and again without.  (I did not have the heart to permanently glue down the before).  I made some larger borders this time, I usually use the 1/16th but there are so many different sizes to choose from now and I love the dramatic effect it gives!  The other thing I love about these tools is how I can conserve on paper and mailing weight.  The 3 layers of deep pink were all cut from the same 1/2 sheet of 8.5x11.  I took some pics so you can see what I mean. 
Recognize the gorgeous paper?  Lindsay's Stamp Stuff Bold Black and White printed in grey ink on pink card stock.  I love how versatile that paper set is!  The balloon is from Lindsay's Steampunk Stamp set.

    Shocking, indeed! I rarely get things square, but have learned to work around this particular deficiency . . .

    Thanks so much for your kind suggestion! This evening while I was stamping with my little one I used a mouse pad... and have bought myself an embossing pad And will try and see how that works... what would one do without this crafting sisterhood? Feel so blessed!
    Many thanks,
    Monica
