With all the fun new products we have out for Sale-a-Bration and the Jan.-June mini catalog the products in the Stampin' Up! annual catalog can kind of be forgotten about. I've done a lot of tulip cards lately and I wanted to switch things up and use a different floral set to play along with the Just Us Girls friendship challenge.
I'm sending this design out to a few stamping friends and maybe channeling some spring vibes with the colors at the same time!
I've met so many nice people through stamping; whether they're customers, downline and even fellow demonstrators around the world. We all have this common hobby that we can get excited about together. It's such a nice feeling of community and understanding! Not everyone understands the excitement of a new ink color or the smell of new cardstock and stamps lol!
I let the designs from the Sunshine & Rainbows DSP (a free Sale-A-Bration reward!!) do all the hard work for this card. I just choose 3 patterns and then layered a piece behind three of the beautiful Floral Squares dies popping up the die cut for a nice raised look. I layered them all on a piece of Basic White embossed with the Gingham embossing folder backed with a Pale Papaya card base.
The only stamping on this card is the sentiment which is stamped in Basic Gray and popped on dimensionals. I told you the DSP did all the work on this card! A few Pale Papaya gems highlight the lower sentiment strip.
Which friends of yours need a little fun mail? If you don't have a card already in your stash plan to make one (or more!) and send out to friends near and far to say hello!
Thanks for looking! Did you stamp today?
