Inside Out Stationery

Are people stick rocking mullets? Is that still happening? I lived in North Carolina for a “spell” and saw my fair share of mullets. (Note: as best as I can tell “a spell” is the most ambiguous measurement of time known to man. Somewhere between a few minutes and a few years. I seriously love the south).

Now, ever since I moved to Miami, mullets have been replaced with fake butts – which I see on a daily basis. No lie. Fake butts are amazing and once you’ve seen one – you’ll never be the same. You can’t un-ring a bell, people. And you can’t un-see a fake butt. It will forever be burned into your retinas. Sort of looks like  two Christmas hams jammed into a pair of yoga pants.

Thing is – mullets and fake butts are sort of the same thing. Business in the front. Party in the back. Which brings me to today’s project. I know you were worried there for a minute – but it always comes back to paper crafting, friends. Always.

Today’s cards are the mullets of crafting. Business up front. Partytime when open em up. Here we go.

Inside Out Stationery | Damask LoveInside Out Stationery | Damask LoveIf “partial die-cutting” is greek to you – check out THIS post from the archives to get an idea of how it works. The partial die cut allows a portion of the image to come through to the front of the card, leaving you lots of space on the inside of the card to stamp a beautiful floral pattern. The technique is easy but the result is something the recipient will love.

    I am a new follower of your blogs and love your projects! You have kept me busy ordering the supplies needed. : ). What stamp are you using for the Hugs and Kisses and the other main greeting inside the cards? Missed seeing that ….

    Slow down so I can get a few projects complete. I just ordered what I need for the monogram notepads which I love.

    Of course the cards are fabulous just like you and the partial die cut ……… need to do that ASAP but I have to be honest I had to take a break before looking at the crafts because I was laughing so hard about the beginning of the post. I am here to report, proudly I might add, that non of the people I hang with in NC have a mullet …….. and for that I AM SO THANKFUL!! And I have my own booty I certainly do not need an assist there ~ Of course you are Awesome ~ keep that up 🙂

    O.K. – first of all – gorgeous cards and I can’t wait to try them and I need to add PURE GENIUS!!! Now – onto this butt thing – I can’t believe some people pay for what others would willingly give away if they could!!! And yes – a fake butt is not an image that one would forget without hypnosis!!! Thanks for the great posts always sure to deliver inspiring ideas and witty humor!!!

I just received PTI’s The Sweet Life stamp set yesterday and have been looking online for color inspiration and saw your post. What are the chances that you remember the ink combo you used cuz these flowers are GORGEOUS and I apparently don’t have enough inks and need to get more!! Thanks for sharing your super amusing and beautiful post!!

    Oh, I really love shopping, and I have a sufficient amount of clothes, but during the lockdown I found a new entertainment such as online events, and then I had a question what to wear to a networking event. It’s good that I have the Internet, because sometimes such questions make me think and not know what to do.
