a little Laura inspiration...

So the other day, Laura made THIS card.  And my jaw dropped....as it usually does when I see her cards.  I had been playing around with some ampersand cut files....

 ....but just didn't know what to do until I saw her card.  Then I made this...

I cut this ampersand....its a Glitz Design....design, that I found in the Silhouette store.  (I will link it up in my supply list below.)  In fact, I actually cut 6 of these.

And stacked them up.  I learned that in Summer Card Camp.  :)  A few quick tips....use clear glue...much easier than a tape runner.  Also, grab a paper piercer or tweezers to help push all the thin pieces together quickly.  The glue dries fast.  When you're done, you can use a sanding block to smooth any crookedness or fuzzies.  Because you will have some crookedness and fuzzies.  It happens.  :)



Last, I took some HA Wet Cement ink and stamped this simple, but adorable sentiment from Simon Says Sketchy Banner Sayings.  

I love Laura.  She's amazing.  :)  I hope she likes my Laura inspired ampersand creation.  :)

Thanks for stopping in today!
