My card for today is for a special occasion. A good friend’s son just bought his first house. Of course I have been intending to order the new Host Rewards set “In The City” which would have been perfect. But since I have not ordered it yet I made do with what I had on hand.
Super Duper, 142874
These are my color choices for the card:
I wanted it to be more masculine, but have some brightness as well. I believe it came out pretty well. To add some texture to the card I used the Hexagon Embossing folder on the Sahara Sand card stock. The “YAY” is stamped in Always Artichoke on Very Vanilla and cut out using the Stitched Shapes Framelit Dies. The Always Artichoke layer behind it is cut out using the next larger die from that set.
The Balloons are stamped on Very Vanilla in Always Artichoke and Crushed Curry and fussy cut out. The are layered on top of each other and then raised with a Stampin’ Dimensional. The “string” is Linen Thread. The sentiment is from the same stamp set, “Super Duper”! and is punched out with the Classic Label punch. The layer behind it I hand cut.
And that is that for this card. It came together very quickly, and is a card, and a layout that could be used for most any occasion. That is a Win/Win to me !
The products I used today are listed below:
