Happy Pi Day!
Outside of my stamping life, I am a math instructional aide for a local middle school. I work with a fantastic group of teachers. In a very short amount of time, I believe I have become a math geek (so late in life too!).
Well, today is like a cherry pie bubbling over in math geekiness. It is Pi Day. March 14 or better known as 3.14……
With those fabulous new Large Number Framelits, it was easy to make a card to celebrate the occasion. Actually I call it my Pi in the Sky card! Love that new Global Places Designer Series Paper Stack! A few quick punches, some pearls, and Stampin’ Dimensionals, and you have a fun card to claim your piece of the math geekiness pi(e).

One of the difficulties when I design a card is my tendency to layer. I love layers of card stock on cards, and I guess I am a bit of a traditionalist. Sometimes, however, it is time to break out of a pattern and try something new. When creating cards for my All About Men Stamp Camp, I wanted to focus on less layers and different styles. Well, this is one I came up with that was a big hit with my stampers.
You fold a base piece of card stock in half and then cut off about 3/4″ -1″ of the front piece. You then layer a 1″ strip of DSP on the back piece. The new Going Places DSP is filled with interesting and masculine designs, which made it a perfect back liner for this card. Stamps I used included the pine tree from Lovely as a Tree and the background from You’ve Got This. Colors were Hello Honey and Mossy Meadow. The card was finished off with a button and thread.
Simple, classy, masculine, and economical!
