Daydream Friend - Stampin' Up! With You In Mind

   Last week I finished up making a set of 100 cards for an upcoming women's retreat at my church and they turned out pretty cute if I do say so myself.  Very basic but still cute...there were 100 afterall!  The theme for the retreat is friendship so the organizer wanted a card that reflected that theme so it was easy enough to go through my stamp sets and pull out some choices to see what would work.  I ended up with the retired sentiment from the old Sale-a-Bration set Friendly Hello and added in some images from the current With You In Mind stamp set.

  I designed the whole card around the retired Design a Daydream DSP that was a host reward a number of years ago.  Since I was making so many cards I wanted to have them be coordinated so I wouldn't have to switch up colors and be able to keep the stamping the same across all 100 cards.  I had a bunch of this DSP and the colors work well for the theme.

  I used blank notecards and envelopes from Amazon as that was the most cost effective and it took a few step off of my plate not having to cut and score so many card bases.  But I can say that Stampin' Up! Basic white is definitely superior for stamping on! And the color of Basic White is more clean in my opinion   The edge of the DSP is banded by a narrow strip of Pool Party cardstock which was fantastic to use up so many scraps that I had. 

  The 'hello friend' is stamped in Blackberry Bliss and then punched out.  The leaves are added in Old Olive ink and then the little flower is stamped in Daffodil Delight and also punched out.  The flower is popped on dimensionals.

  Hopefully the cards are well received and everyone at the retreats send one off to a friend that they are thankful to have in their lives.

  Thanks for looking! Did you stamp today?
