"In Your Words" Card Tutorial - Tina Zinck, Stampin' Up! Demonstrator

Hi Friends! I hope you had a nice weekend! I spent the entire weekend in the kitchen, making salsa, dills, bread & butter and sweet pickles & beets! So much work, but it’s worth it, in my opinion. I’ve got a bit more to do yet, but I’m getting close to having my canning finished for the season. I’m not planning on having a vegetable garden next year (because I’ll be too busy with wedding stuff) so I’m hoping everything I’m making now lasts until the following season!

Today I’m sharing my card and tutorial from my “Mystery Stamping Hour” on Friday. It’s a simple layout but I love it! I used the “In Your Words” stamp set, which is a Host Only set from Sale-a-bration:

I wish this set were in our annual catalogue because it’s absolutely fabulous! However, there is still time for you to get it for free with a qualifying order (Sale-a-bration ends Sept 30th).
