Guess what I got today? My Stampin' Up! order with lots of stuff from the brand new catalog!!! It felt like Christmas morning as I pulled each item out of the box. I was so anxious to have new stuff to play with that I had my order expedited from Stampin' Up! I thought of it as an early birthday present to myself (my birthday is August 31).
That's why I'm so late posting today. You can't get new stuff without playing with it right away, right? I'm mailing the box full of all of your wonderful birthday cards to my brother tomorrow. I couldn't send the box without including a birthday card from me, so that's what I made with my new stuff.
This is one of the prints from the new Urban Garden designer series paper. This is my *favorite* DSP from the catalog. It has a gorgeous color combination and lots of big flowers. I was trying to make a masculine card, so I used the simple lines and dots print rather than the flowers.
Besides DSP, punches are another one of my big weaknesses. As soon as I saw the Curly Label punch bundle, I knew I had to order it. I stamped the "best wishes" image and punched it out. I wanted to layer the punched image so I got creative with my punch.
I punched a piece of Not Quite Navy cardstock and rotated the cardstock 90 degrees. This gave me a small layer on the top and bottom edge, but not on the sides.
I punched out a second piece of cardstock and cut it in half.
I layered the punched pieces on top of each other...
and then added the "best wishes" piece on top.
I hope you have a wonderful day. Thanks for stopping by! ~Dannie
