1. Use Trimmer and 4-1/4 x 11 card stock for card base. You want to cut one inch from each side. To do this: place your cardstock in the trimmer lengthwise, with the 4-1/4 side across the top; the left edge of the card should be lined up at 3-1/4. Use the measurements on the cutting arm, cut from 4-1/2 to 10. Then with the left side on 1 inch, use measurements on the cutting arm, cut from 4-1/2 to 10 again.

2. Use the diagram below and score along the dotted lines – on the center strip at 5 1/2″ and along the two outer strips at 1,″ 2,″ and 6 1/2.”

3. For the large stamped section cut desired color cardstock to 1-7/8 x 4 1/4 then stamp

4. Adhere the two strips of 3/4 x 4-1/2 Designer Series Paper to the outer sides of the card base

Tiptoe Through the Tulips

Are you old enough to remember Tiny Tim singing Tiptoe Through the Tulips? I adore flowers and I never think of that song as it was not one of my favorites by any means, but it just came to me as I began writing. Rather than a long haired hippy, I prefer to think of a small child dancing in the tulips. The Flowering Fields Designer Paper just makes me happy! Every single time I look at it, I smile:)
