Hi guys! I hope your Easter was absolutely wonderful. It sure was a hot one here. Just a few minutes outside and I was ready to melt. So, how about a card? I have another little ditty using the new
Paisley Petals DSP and the coordinating
Four Frames stamp set. These are both part of the soon to be over Spring is Blossoming promo. Until April 30th, spend $20 and you can order both of these great items that will be part of the 2011-2012 Idea Book and Catalog. After the 30th, they go back in the big SU closet to wait until the new catalog premieres in July. All DSP packs will go up in price this summer so now is your chance to order the paper at a lower rate.Don't miss out! Ummm...didn't I mention a card? Here ya go...
Do you need a detail shot too?
This card is heavily inspired by an idea I saw on the SU demonstrator website. I adapted it to use materials and tools I had on hand and voila! Another thank you note for my always dwindling stash. All materials used are current SU product except for the cute little flowers on the pennants. Those are punched with the retired punch called
Spring Blossoms. However, when that one retired, they introduced a very similar punch called
Boho Blossoms which can easily be used here instead.
The printed papers are from the
Paisley Petals DSP and the sentiment is from the Level 1 Hostess set,
Because I Care. The pennants are stamped with Marina Mist ink and the
Four Frames stamp set. They are made by stamping one of the frame images from
Four Frames and then folding them in half. Once folded, place a length of
Linen Thread in the crease and stick the 2 sides together with adhesive so the tag hangs, as if on a clothesline. The
Linen Thread is secured with 2
Antique Brads.
That about does it for today. I have another
Paisley Petals card for tomorrow and I hope you like it as much as I do. Since the
Spring is Blossoming promo is almost over, I have to hurry and show you all the cards I made with these gorgeous materials. See you tomorrow!
And from another angle...
This card is heavily inspired by a Stampin' Up! project I saw online. They had done it in a journal but I made some changes to make it work better as a card. I love the little bird image. That frame for the sentiment is from the Four Frames set and the print paper is from the Paisley Petals DSP. These 2 items, as I have mentioned many times before, are available for a limited time (until April 30th) and they go away until July when the new catalog comes out. I won't bore you with the details of this promo, since I have shared them at least 10 times. If you are new to the blog, click on the left hand side button that says, "Spring is Blossoming" to learn more.
