A Paper Crafting Mistake Turned Opportunity for Creativity...
Today I found myself a bit frustrated when in an effort to better adhere the inside of a card, I created a rather obvious fold in the journaling square! Agh! Such a perfect card for the perfect occasion. But then I messed it up. Or, so I thought. I grabbed my scallop edge punch and some Pumpkin Pie card stock (which happens to be one of my favorite colors of Stampin' Up! products) and went to work. I made a scallop border on both sides of a thin strip of Pumpkin Pie card stock, placed it over top the misplaced fold I'd created, and (Voila) the result was a nicer interior card than the original! Hmmm...I might make this another one of my "trade marks" on my cards! My result wasn't exactly a rickrack look, but I must say it was quite nice! I'd planned on showing you the end result, but I forgot to snap a picture before I wrote the greeting to the recipient! Too late...I'll try to remember to take the picture first the next time around!
