Small, But Sincere!

I like to tuck a little something into my customers' bags when they place an order, as a token of my appreciation for their business. It might be a ribbon sample, or some buttons, or a card. Some cards are full size, and some are little 3 x 3 "love note" size. This is one of the little cards, and I'm so excited because I made that little matching envelope in the background!

Yep, I received the Diagonal Insert for my Simply Scored scoring tool today, and I whipped out a bunch of little envelopes in no time! It is SO EASY to make envelopes in a variety of sizes. The score lines are precise, so the envelope folds together perfectly. (Unlike my previous attempts at envelope construction.)

Anyhoo, I can see me and my Diagonal Insert are in for a long, happy, and fruitful relationship.

Happy Birth Day, Baby Boy!

This card was CASEd from a swap I received (Hi, Patty!), and was so much fun to make, because it meant my sweet friend, Dawna, just became a grandma for the first time! Ooooo, she's in for so much joy and fun with her new grandson, Toby!!!  I swear, grandchildren truly are the reward for not killing your kids when they're teenagers. :-)

The Stitched Stockings set was used, but after the stockings were stamped and punched, the "cuff" was cut off and moved down to make booties.  It's the same principle used for the Baby Shower Invite, only done on a much smaller scale with the Stocking Builder Punch instead of the Holiday Stocking Bigz Die.  And see those nifty diagonal score lines? They were scored with the new Simply Scored Scoring Tool. Oh. Em. Gee. It's fab!
