I can't believe where summer has gone. One day it was July the next it was September. Kinda like the weather. We are finally having summer here in Manitoba.
I have had so much fun with my grandkids since they moved here. I have also been busy fixing up my class stamping space.
I have not been doing much stamping till today, Beate Johns shared a card today and I fell in love with the lacy flower she had on her card. She had used a Nestabilitie die cut plate but I do not have that and thought I could improvise by using the Lacy Border SU punch. I punched a 1 1/4" by 11" piece of white card stock, then I put it through the crimper so that I could shape it into a circle. I punched a 1 3/4" circle out of some scraps to adhere this lacy circle to. The card itself is a Gate Fold card.
This is the inside of the card.
Recipe:
