Life is Beautiful and Whale Done

 

Every week Stampin’ Up! has a newsletter for demonstrators which gives samples for us to use to inspire our customers.  This past week’s samples were based on using limited supplies.  Each card uses the same supplies and measurements.  The supplies are as follows:

 

Cardstock:  Two pieces (a color that coordinates with the Designer Series Paper use); one cut to 8 1/2 “ x 5 ½” and scored at 4 ¼” and one cut to ¾” x 4”
Whisper White - one piece cut to 3 ¾” x 4”
Designer Series Paper: one piece cut to 2” x 5 ½”
 
Listed below each photo are the supplies I used along with any inks, accessories, etc.
