Today’s card will certainly make you feel happy with the fun
and vibrant colors! Isn’t it amazing how using different colors can create a
total different feel!
This type of card would be a great card to use completely
different color schemes – say go with neutrals of several browns and very
vanilla…it would be stunning!
Last week I used this stamp set, Million & One, and even
though there are only (2) stamps on this set…”buy it” as it is simply
beautiful! I just love the “flow” of the typeset!
The colors I used for this card are Bermuda Bay, Soft Sky
and Strawberry Slush! The other (2) stamp sets that create the background were
from the Flower Shop and the Mixed Bunch Stamp Sets.
A super easy card to create…just make sure that you fill up
the “stamped area” very well so when you cut it into strips the “white spaces”
are minimized!
The other TIP I can give you is….when you go to put the
“panels” on the color base…start with the far left and then the far right….then
work the others in out lightly arrange them so if you need to pull them off,
you can do so easily!
After getting the “panels of fun” just right….I added a
piece of Whisper White Taffeta Ribbon around the entire panel section before
adding the sentiment part! 3 simple basic pearls made a classic touch to the
swirls of the font!
A “doubly
whammy” for the envelope fun! I stamped my own liner to match the card and then
I also added a bit of bling to the front of the envelope as well!
It is always
nice to make your mailman smile!
My family just returned last night from a fabulous vacation
in the British Virgin Islands and this card I had envisioned what colors I
would be seeing while away and I thought in advance that this would be a
perfect “thank you” for my friends that invited our family for this special
trip!
It was absolutely amazing and my tank is “charged up” for a
great week ahead! As always, I am an email away and I appreciate your comments
and inspiration!
Until tomorrow…
Love the colors. I am sure the mailman loves to see these. The person receiving will also smile.
WOW is all I can say. I thought that was DSP! Beautiful job. I like the hint of using neutrals and browns, for a masculine look, say with a Happy Birthday. Oops, I forgot they were flower stamps. Any stamps would due. I liked the panels of fun. Thanks a Bunch.
Beautiful card and I love the way you line you envelopes and decorate the front. Thanks for sharing this great idea.
Very pretty. Awesome colors. I love the panels. I found that if I use a tiny bit of “dotted” tape runner on each end, it helps with the “panels of fun” to stay down and can be easily removed. I remove one end at a time, flip the card over and then use the regular tape runner and then repeat on other end. Works great for me. Thanks for the tip too and for sharing and for the smiles.
Absolutely loving the color combinations. Your cards are so inspiring and love the little tidbits you offer. Very talented!
Oh, Susan, here you go again, enabling big time:). Hadn’t really given much thought to this set, but now rethinking it. Bermuda Bay is one of those colors I forget about, guess I’ll have to put it out on my desk so I will remember to do something with it:). Have a great week:)
Beautiful!!! I’ve been meaning to add these two stamps to my collection and now I think I need to for sure!
Thank you again for the inspiration.
