Thank you so much for the videos and the instruction sheet for this card.
You are very generous.
Don’t know if you know or not, there are some demonstrators who seem to want to
get paid for everything they offer
Thanks for getting the word out about these fabulous DSP’s. I ordered them right away and plan on using them for my next card class. I know my senior students will love them. Quick and easy for them.
And there are already a couple of ideas out there about them. Oh yeah, one more thing. I’m also super happy SU is FINALLY matching up the die cuts names with the name of the stamp set.
Oh yeah, almost forgot… I do have a question for you Connie. I’ve been signed up to get all the great emails for years. But for some time now, I’m getting a pop up message (in green) asking me to sign up. It always shows up right in the middle of me checking out your emails. And sometimes, if I’ve been on your site for a few minutes, it shows up again. Any ideas how to stop this?
Thanks for all you do.
Lynda White, SU demonstrator
Unfortunately I don’t have any control over it even if you have already signed up.
Connie, I look forward to your videos. Beautiful cards, easy directions and a pdf to boot!
Thanks, Connie. I love this beautiful DSP and I’m grateful for the tutorial on how to make them. I like card designs where the DSP is the focal point. Enjoy your day!
I used your corner fold template to make a graduation card for my neighbors son and loved how it turned out. Thanks so much for sharing your cards.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Connie, Connie, Connie! I absolutely love this tutorial! I made 8 cards today, 4 of the first style and 4 of the second. I’m so glad I watched the video first as I might not have thought about using dimensionals (many, many dimensionals!) on the center piece. This gives such a great look and this is now my favorite layout! I bought one package of this designer series paper and had forgotten I had it…so I immediately bought it – again. I now have plenty of this beautiful paper to make many more of this style card. Thank you so much!
