A Long Birthday Card

I LOVE creating long cards (the larger canvas, perhaps?)


~so I made another.

Truth be told, I used the tag to cover up a crooked sentiment
(I was aiming for a one layer).

But, that tag needed love...I'm just glad that the ink didn't smear after I stamped the sentiment.

I didn't even "touch it" to make sure...LOL...I gave it enough time to set on the glossy tag.


That. was. SO. HARD. FOR. ME.



I'm one of those "let me see if this is still wet/hot" kind of gal...

I'm WAY TOO IMPULSIVE!!!


When I use a glue gun... I wear gloves...because I WILL BURN my fingers~I JUST KNOW I will be tempted to wipe that excess hot glue.

It's just best for me to be prepared for my shortcomings.


I learn to work around them. ;)


So, I after stamping the sentiment, I set that tag down and tried to forget about it while it dried.


Then I adhered it (after running my finger across it, of course). ;)



If you love long cards too...now's the time to create and submit to

CAS-ual Fridays CFC86

CFC86: Create a CAS card that has one long side and one short side.

3 x 6, 4 x 8, etc. No standard A2's for this week.

I had fun JUST STAMPING AWAY for the

Make Your Own Background Paper Challenge in the Moxie Fab World.


Perfect timing too, because I just read a tutorial at Simplicity about random stamping.


I usually just "go with it"...but I tried to be more purposeful with my triangulations.

The colors at

Inspired By #58

motivated me.
