There is a new hybrid blog post (http://sweetshoppedesigns.com/blog/) today with a tutorial on how to make this card

Gorgeous card! Love it.

Wonderful inspiration, last night I created these cards in response to the tutorial. Some use printed digital papers, others are scrap papers from my paper stash. Details in the gallery. (The first one is linked)

Wonderful Laurie!!! You are going to make Andrea's month when she sees what you've made, all inspired by her post :)

Thanks,

You can see lots more of them here (http://www.acherryontop.com/gallery_viewer/,,,a,3,,127090") and here (http://www.acherryontop.com/gallery_viewer/,,,a,1,,127159). This weekend I made 27 in all.


A lot of them use digital printouts, in some cases I even used some of the papers from my May flower challenge.

[Andrea Gourley]

Oh wow! They look fabulous and for such a great cause too :)

Andrea, I have one question about Nestabilities - how does one proceed when using them? I gather they don't work alone, but need a die cut machine with them. Am I right or am I wrong?

[letumom]

Yes, you have to use one of the Die cutters like Sixxix or Wizard to use the nestabilities. I've heard that you can also use the Cuttlebug with some of the other brands as well.

[Andrea Gourley]

Yes you are right, you would need a die cutting machine. I have the Big Shot but they work in all the mainstream cutting machines - sizzix, bigshot, cuttlebug etc. In some of them you need to buy an extra cutting plate. It's quite an investment to make but if you are thinking of expanding your paperfrafting then I would really recommend a die cutting machine and would go for one of the more versatile types - some will only accept the thin dies, some will accept thin and thick.

[adrianka]

Thanks. I will probably ask some more questions later on. Recently I've bought the Making Memories Slice Cutter and A4 Xyron, so I will have to wait before another investment, also I will have to "deserve" it by some crafts work. But it's a defnitite inspiration.

Andrea, your card inspired me to do one as well! In the end it isn't too similar (Madam Muse has her whims), but yours was the one that I wanted to "scraplift" originally.

It's lovely, the row of pearls look really pretty
