I love July, because that is the one time a year I splurge on new stamp sets! And splurge I did!
I got the new patterned party stamp set, as well as the happiest birthday wishes hostess set, and also up, up and away.
My monthly technique club is tonight, and I just HAD to use my new sets.
I wanted to do a swing card (or flip flop card), which I learned from splitcoaststampers. Here's the link: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/swing_flip_flop_card/
to learn how to make it, and here's my card:
this is the front. I used daffodil delight, calypso coral (I LOVE this new color!), rich razzleberry, lucky limeade and tempting turquoise. The balloons have crystal effects on them, and the brad is one of the new in color polka dot brads!
And then it flips open to this:
So cute, right? The stamp set is patterned party, but the little presents on the inside is from the new hostess set "happy birthday wishes".
Love it!
And then I really wanted to use my new "up, up and away" set, so I actually cased a card right out of the new catalogue on page 5 (the catalogue is such a great way to also get ideas... you can change colors and ideas based on what products you have....)
Here's what i came up with:
Fun, fun, fun. These colors are chocolate chip, rich razzleberry, tango tangerine, and pacific point. Easy peasy, too.... I used one of the little trio punches, and then the ribbon punch, which is so great when you don't actually have any ribbon to match! I have a feeling I am going to be using this set over and over....
