Love It Chop It – LICI-A-001

I came across this video by Kylie Bertucci in March 2019 called Love It Chop It.  What a fabulous idea if you are a cardmaker!  So many of us stampers fall in love with Designer Series Paper (DSP), buy it, oooh and ahhh over it, smell it, stroke it a time or two, and then put it back, thinking you will save it for something special or like me, are afraid I will cut it wrong so, never use it.  Kylie tells us that it's ok to use it.  Simply Chop It! 

So I grabbed a package of DSP from my stash called Love Me from 2007!  I chopped it in 5-1/4” strips then cut the strips into 4” pieces.  Kept the leftover strips too. 

I cut the cardboard backing from the package to fit in the front of a stamp case so I could remember the name of it.  There were no coordinating colors mentioned on the packaging, so I just guessed.  Lucky for me, I still had the ink pads, re-inkers and cardstock that matched as all the colors from this pack are long gone!  It took no time at all to create these cards, once I got started.  I just had to CHOP the paper! Got 6 of each card for a total of 102 cards!
