It sure is nice to go away for vacation but there is always a period of pay back once we get home! I still haven't gotten back into a routine in the stamp room. I'm having a hard time focusing and deciding what I need to get done next. So to check one thing off of my to do list I'm sharing the final card we made at May's class. It's pretty much the same as the banner card I shared at the end of May. I switched up the colors and used a few more new products. I like these colors for a guy card and those are always nice to have in the stash!
Just like on this banner card I used the new Party Banners dies to shape the card base for this fun flag/banner shape. Just make sure your fold is inside the die when you line it up! For this base I used Smoky Slate. And I have an over-abundance of Pool Party scraps so I took 2 different widths and embossed them with the new Glass & Garden Embossing folder for a great texture across the banner.
The sentiment is from the new Encircled with Love stamp set and is embossed in white on Poppy Parade cardstock. It's punched out and then backed with a slightly larger Basic White punched circle. It's then popped on dimensionals.
Using one of the other stamps in the set I stamped the gift box in Smoky Slate then fussy cut it, colored in the ribbon with Stampin' Blends and then popped it up to the side of the sentiment. A few Rainbow-Backed Adhesive Dots embellish the corner of the banner.
Thanks for looking! Did you stamp today?
