I must tell you, I wasn’t great at Geometry in school. However, I was able to figure out that two Stitched Triangles, with a right angle, makes a square. Using the second smallest Stitched Triangle, I cut six triangles from Thick Basic White Cardstock, creating three, 1 3/4″ X 1 3/4″ squares. The top and bottom squares are glued flat, and the middle square is attached with Dimensionals.
Stitched Leaves and Triangles
I began with a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Next, is a layer is Pear Pizzazz Cardstock, 3 3/4″ X 5″, topped with Soft Sea Foam, cut 1/8″ smaller. Prior to gluing the layers together, I rolled the Soft Sea Foam through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Stitched Greenery Die. I love the ease of creating this interesting background.
The beautiful leaves were cut with an Artistic Die from Brushed Metallic Cardstock. After snipping a section of the die-cut, I used tiny dots of Liquid Glue to secure the leaves and stem in place.
The darling, little bird was also cut from Brushed Metallic Cardstock, using a Beautiful Trees Die. She is perched atop the sentiment, cut with the smallest Stitched Rectangles Die. “You inspire me” is from the Delicate Dahlias Stamp Set, stamped in Old Olive Ink.
I was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches.

I wasn’t even good at Algebra.
Beautiful card, and Stampin Up has made
it easy, for me, mathematically challenged.
Thank you, Mary Katherine! Algebra was worse! But, I had a great basic math teacher in college, and earned an A+. A good teacher makes all the difference.
