PREVIEW OF THINGS TO COME!



As demonstrators, we are offered the opportunity to purchase some items coming in the new catalogue in advance. The stamp set I used for this card is a new Level I Hostess Set called Because I Care. I wish the colors were better in my pic because the cardstock I used is one of the new In Colors called Concord Grape, and it is a fabulous deep grape color. The stem on the flower is also done with a new In Color called Pear Pizzazz.

I haven't had much time to play lately as I have been madly prepping for Stamping University. However, after seeing this card on our Demo site, I just had to make time to make my own! I love these colors together. If you haven't guessed already, the front on this card is actually made from our Fresh Cut Note Cards. I used the front only of the note card and ran it through the Big Shot with the new Square Lattice Embossing folder from the Summer Mini, then mounted a piece of the Island Oasis Designer Paper behind the flower cutout. The entire piece is then mounted on a scallop square of Pumpkin Pie which was cut with the Clear Square Scallop die using the Big Shot.The flowers and leaves are from the Tropical Party set and the buttons are the Bitty Buttons mounted on card stock which was punched using the new Itty Bitty Punch Shapes. The Modern Label is punched from Rose Red and mounted on Tempting Turquoise Grosgrain Ribbon. The finished card measures 5 1/4" square.
Had a great stamping party on Monday night with Trina and her friends! Seeing as most of them were club members, I wanted to do something a bit special with them. I found some of the Wood Sheets (Pg. 158 in the cattie) I had bought a long time ago and thought they would make a terrific fence, especially once I sprayed them with the Log Cabin Smooch Spritz which is available in the Summer Mini. I used the Inspired by Nature set with markers to get only the single flower and stamped some of the grass along the bottom. Sponged Bashful Blue lightly for the background and added some butterflies using the Embosslit Beautiful Wings. The greeting is from the set Happy Everything. I was really pleased with the way it all came together.
