Border size makes a difference!

These four cards are the same except for the size of the borders. 
They sure have a different look though, don't they? 
Which one do you like the best? 


They all use the Sweet Taffy DSP along with a Daffodile Delight card base and Tangelo Twist layer except the one on the lower left that doesn't have the Tangelo Twist layer. 
The Flower Shop set and Pansy punch along with Petite Petals set and the Petite Petal punch were used for the flowers. The Artisan Label punch was used for the saying. 
Please leave a comment telling me which one you think will show up at the Stamp Along.
I have another little journal to give away to the winner of the drawing this month. 

If you need some stamping supplies and can't make it to the Stamp Along please use the hostess code

This links your order to the Stamp Along order to increase the total. That helps me get more goodies. If you don't link it the "goodie" potential is lost.  :-(
Thanks!

Here are the directions for the sponged card from the last post. Scroll down it is there also. 



First, cut a shape from a piece of card stock with a framelit (I used the Ovals collection) on the Big Shot.
Use the Multi Purpose glue to put a very light line around the shape and let it dry completely. This makes it work like a post it.


While that glue is drying, put the card front in the Framed Tulips folder and through the Big Shot.



When the glue is totally dry, place the mask on the card front and sponge in the opening.




While the mask is still in place, stamp your greeting from Sassy Salutations and the flower from Flower Shop in the opening.  
Tips:
***If the sponging looks blotchy, don't worry, it smoothes out as it drys.
***There will be a space along the edge of the opening. 
***Remove the mask as soon as you have it stamped.


Remove the mask.


Stamp the flower from Flower Shop on a piece of Whisper White. 
Tip:
***Mark your stamp so the Pansy punch will match up with it. See the x on the stamp? See the mess? The first time I didn't have it lined up correctly so the punch would reach in from the bottom of the image and line up. I remarked the stamp. Still not right! NOW, it is lined up properly. I remounted the stamp. If you have the clear mount it is easier to mark it. 


Punch the flower with the Pansy Punch. See how nice it lines up! 



Attach the flower with a dimensional.
Did you notice that this one is on the top right and not the bottom left where the other one was placed?
Remember, I said to remove the mask as soon as the stamping was finished? Well, I didn't because of the photo thing so there was a place that the glue grabbed hold and wouldn't let go. There is also a little mark in the upper left that can be removed with the adhesive remover. 

OK, go make some of these very easy, mailable cards.
