BSS MONDY IDEA - BLOCK IT OFF

WELCOME TO THE BUFFALO STAMPS AND STUFF MONDAY IDEA.

Happy Labor Day!

Today's idea is to make a card using the blocking technique.

Witch Marci - La La Land Crafts

Made this card using a blocking technique. Just use the space on the card by

cutting different sized squares and lining them up to fill the card.

This is the inside insert front.

This is the inside insert when opened up.

Card Recipe:

Stamps - Witch Marci - La La Land Crafts (5018)
Broom Sentiment - CC Designs
Inside sentiment and witchy on front - Just for Fun
Paper - Cloud 9 and Cosmo Cricket Matilda
Green Glitter Paper
Orange text weight insert

Witches shoes and ghost were cut from designer papers
Colored with Copics.

I made a Halloween card, but this technique would work for any occasion.

Thanks for stopping by today.
Hope those of you that have the day off enjoy the holiday.

I have set up a temporary blog until I get the final word

from Google if they can retrieve the last 5 years of my life!!

my posts will be at www.suesstamping.blogspot.com
