Happy Krafty Chicks Thursday to you!
Welcome to another great challenge week from the Krafty Chicks Challenge Blog. All Occasions is the theme, so pretty much anything goes. Here's my card:
I also created this card as a Throwback Thursday and used some retired but still loved products. As we near the end of the Annual Catalogue season at Stampin' Up!, we look for ways of using up our Designer Series Paper (DSP), unless you're like me and hoard it. I've been a demonstrator for over 13 years, and I can probably tell you that I have DSP that old too. I'd like to change that!
As I was scrolling through Facebook one day, I saw Jackie, from Stampin' With Jackie/Klompen Stampers, show three ways of using your DSP as card bases. Say what??? I'm all over that. I did the first fun fold example on my Tuesday Night Live @7pm on March 22 and will have a blog post tomorrow on that. This is the second fold she demonstrates. You can get 3 cards from one full 12x12 sheet of DSP, no waste. Gotta love that!
The thing about scoring DSP though, you have to be gentle and push your scoring blade (if using your trimmer) or stylus (if using the Simply Scored Scoring Tool) to lightly mark the paper. The tear above happened when I pressed a little hard with my Bone Folder to get a nice crisp edge. Don't be doing that! I did fix it with some card stock (see card two, left edge). I got lucky!

- Balloon Adventures stamp set: retired
- Coastal Cabana ink pad:147097
