Hey there! Happy Friday! I'm definitely still under the weather health-wise, but reading your sweet, well-wishing comments definitely made me feel better. So thank you for that!
Today I'm sharing a springy little card because I like to try and pretend that it's not winter. :) Whatever works, right?
Cardstock: Bazzill Basics Paper
Patterned paper, stickers: BasicGrey
Ribbon: Papertrey Ink
It's not often I add a scalloped border sticker to the edge of a card, but when I do, I usually mess it up. Let me explain. I always start with an 8.5" x 5.5" piece of cardstock and then I fold it in half so it creates a stanard sized card. Well, if you want to add a border sticker to hang off the edge of your card (the edge it will sit upon when standing upright), you should trim the amount of excess cardstock off the one edge so the card will still sit evenly after the sticker is affixed. It's simple, really. I just somehow get over excited and forget to do it and end up peeling back the sticker and desperately trying not to ruin the card. Now, I'm sure you wouldn't make this same silly mistake (affixing the sticker first and creating a very lop-sided card), but friends don't let friends craft wrecklessly. And I'm just trying to be the responsible one. :)
Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a fantastic weekend! Don't get sick!
LOVE this Kalyn! So so bright and fun!

Paper crafters don't make mistakes...we just make opportunities for creative expression! :) It's all good.
Love your pretty flowery card. Sparkle is a good thing! :)

Ha ha! I've done that so many times, I couldn't even count! For me, I also mess up trying to even-up a card and taking a little off, and a little off, and sometimes I over-cut my card. Love the springy colors (although it looks like you're getting a big storm that we just got). One can hope for spring, right?
