UStamp with Dawn & Friends

By | May 1, 2011

Hi

The latest round of U Stamp with Dawn & friends has started – it’s not too late to join.  This time I decided to join in the fun with Worldwide Swaps – my first time doing swaps.  All you have to do is make 6 identical cards using the Big Shot in some way.   So yesterday afternoon I started making my cards so that I could get them off to the US ASAP.

I knew what type of card I would make (Twisted Easel) but it took a bit of time deciding how to decorate it.  I have just recieved my new Blossom Party die so it was a good time to trial that.  In the end I used four different dies – can you pick them? and an Embossing Folder to make the cards.  So tomorrow 6 of these will be winging their way to Idaho (Well I think that’s where they’re heading).

I chose my colour combination with the help of the Colour Coach.  I decided I wanted to have Melon Mambo as one of the colours as I haven’t used it yet.  The flower has been embossed with the Square Lattice, this is my favourite EF.  I cut out the Modern Label then stamped my sentiment and then cut another two labels to mat it.  I was really pleased with the end result – I hope the recipients like it too.

Supplies:
Stamp – So Happy For You
Cardstock/Paper – Old Olive, Elegant Eggplant, So Saffron, Whisper White, Melon Mambo DSP Pattern Stack
Dies – Scallop Circle #2, Blossom Party, Little Leaves, Punch Windows – Modern Label
Other – Square Lattice Embossing Folder, Eyelet Border Punch, Dimensionals, Old Olive Ribbon

Hope you have a great week.
Paula
