I know that you have used this technique before ~ successfully I am sure. But, I wanted to be sure that you knew about MASKING PAPER in Stampin' Up!'s annual catalog. You can find it on page 151 (order number 155480, 12 adhesive-backed sheets for $7). The masking paper is easy to use and will not shift while you are creating your card. The stamp set used for this card is BOTTLED HAPPINESS and you can also find it in the annual catalog on page 98. This card was created by Dawn Duval who is on my team of STARS! Thanks Dawn!

Oh no! I am so tired of the masks BUT not these! You can find the ABUNDANT BEAUTY DECORATIVE MASKS on page 47 in the mini catalog.
The 4 in 1 card is stamped on a full sheet of card stock, using just the center for images. When stamped as you desire, cut the card stock 4-1/4” x 5-1/2” or 4" x 5 1/4" to add to your base card with a small margin all around. Decide what you want the layout to be for each card. Stamp the desired greeting on the blank area of each and then adhere to the card base. A very quick and easy technique for 4 cards. The cards above are created with the stamp set, GO TO GREETINGS, for the sentiments and CHEERFUL DAISIES (page 111 AC) for the flowers. This technique makes four easy-peasy cards! Please show me what YOU create with this technique! I'll be happy to post your creations right here!

You know that I love the ZOO CREW SUITE on pages 46 & 47 in the annual catalog. Obviously, Linda does too! She created this darling card (yes, it does fit in our regular envelopes) using the darling dancers from the Zoo Crew dancing designer series paper (161304, $12.50). She describes this as a HEXAGON POP-UP CARD and found a video on YouTube to learn how to make it. Here is the same card ~ from the top!
Thanks so much for sharing Linda! And, if you like this and want to make your own ~ google it!
