Thank you so much, Connie! You make the GREATEST cards!!
Outstanding cards. I love the Wow and the Holy Cow versions. I love the polar bear punch, and this will really show it off. The instructions will adapt to several different stamps and themes. Thank you!!!
Connie, your directions are always good. However, not all of us have the Stampin Up basic dies — circle, rectangle, etc.. nor the deckle versions. I wish you would give the measurements of those dies. It would be easy in the directions to add 3” circle or 2 1/2” rectangle, etc… So what size circles are you using for Holy Cow card?
(I am a long time subscriber of your emails, so I am not enabling the email categories below.)
Jane, there’s no right or wrong on the size of the dies. Simply hold your dies on the card to find one that will fit in the space. On my card I used a circle that was 3 ¼”.
