<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then turn your cardstock so that the 5.5" side is laying along the top of your scoring tool. Score at 1" and 4.5".</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On the 5.5" sides cut along the score lines only until you get to the 1" score lines that run perpendicular.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now fold your cardstock on all the score lines and assemble using Sticky Strip.</span><br />

The Bear die that I used is unfortunately discontinued but he was just too perfect to not use! My inspiration came from a fellow stamper, Jana Yoder.Bri Shirleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09548543544197089916noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7980169970501679762.post-40062144242667282652012-06-27T14:08:00.000-05:002012-06-27T14:09:40.587-05:00Happy 3rd Anniversary!!Well, yesterday the hubby and I celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary!! 3 years has gone by so quick and we've lived in 3 different states within that time!! What a journey we've been on.. can't wait to see what else the future holds for us!! <br />
We celebrated by going to dinner at Longhorn Steakhouse and we purchased tickets to go see Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan in October!! I can not wait for that... I'm a HUGE Luke Bryan fan!!! :)<br />
<br />
This is the card that I made for Brandon. I used the Inspired by Nature stamp set which is sadly retired :( I used VersaMark along with white and brown embossing powder to emboss the grass image.<br />

This card is 4"x4" in size, I used Basic Grey, Whisper White, Tangerine Tango, Pacific Point, Old Olive, and Daffodil Delight cardstock. The circles were made using the <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=114526&dbwsdemoid=2103055" target="_blank">Circles #2 Originals die</a> and the smallest circles were made with the <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=118074&dbwsdemoid=2103055" target="_blank">Owl Builder Punch</a>. The orange label was made using the <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=120907&dbwsdemoid=2103055" target="_blank">Decorative Label Punch</a>... only I punched it twice to make it smaller. Want to learn how? Check out this <a href="http://www.stampinpretty.com/2011/03/birthday-card-basics-new-wow-video-tutorial.html" target="_blank">video tutorial</a>. The sentiment came from the <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=116948&dbwsdemoid=2103055" target="_blank">Just Believe</a> stamp set. Lastly, I also used the <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=119976&dbwsdemoid=2103055" target="_blank">Square Lattice embossing folder</a> after I glued down my circles, this gives it the effect of being one piece of cardstock!Bri Shirleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09548543544197089916noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7980169970501679762.post-1403967752351776002012-04-25T19:36:00.000-05:002012-04-25T19:36:57.129-05:00Stampin' Up!

It features the <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=122909&dbwsdemoid=2103055" target="_blank">Triple Treat Flower stamp</a>. One thing I love about this stamp is its versatility.. you can do a layered look like I've done here or you can leave it as one layer, either way it's fantastic! I absolutely love the color combination of Basic Grey, Pool Party, and Crumb Cake! I'll work on my photo taking abilities!Thanks for looking! :)<br />

Her photo is much better than mine and she included some of our <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=124005&dbwsdemoid=2103055" target="_blank">Silver Glimmer Paper</a> which I did not use on my card.

Of coarse, by furry children I do mean our dogs... Jo, Rusty, and Harlee. Jo is an almost 6 year old yellow lab, Rusty is a 2 year old lab/hound mix, and Harlee is an 8 month old yorkie! <br />

</div>We just moved to San Antonio at the beginning of February, and so far we absolutely love it here! We are both originally from Topeka, Kansas which is also where our families are. We lived in Tulsa, Oklahoma for a year while Brandon went back to school. Once he graduated, he got a job in San Antonio so we packed up and moved again! (I'm becoming a pro at packing!) The toughest thing about the move is being so far away from our friends and family.. thankfully someone out there created Skype!! :)<br />
<br />
While I have a full-time job, I am also a Stampin' Up! demonstrator. I love that my "job" is to stamp and paper craft, even if it is only part-time! Not very many people get to do something they love and make a little extra $$ doing so! If you want to learn more about what I do please feel free to contact me!<br />
