Last Reminder…..Today is the final day of Sale-A-Bration and all that goes with it. This means the awesome Free products and the great Starter Kit special go away tonight.
I have a simple and quick Friday card for you. This one is giving someone a Big Hug with a card. How sweet is that! Plus it is a one layer card, almost anyway.
STAMPS
There are two different stamp sets used today. First is the Natural Botanicals. This is a photopolymer stamp set. And these are a set of two sided stamps. What that means is they are designed to be stamped not only on the details side, but also the reverse, smooth side. You can see this on my card. The softer background is the reverse, or solid, side of the stamp. I stamped these using Pool Party Ink that is stamped off for a softer look.
The detailed stampings are from the same stamp set. This stamp is using the detailed side of the stamp and is colored with Lost Lagoon Ink. I really love the mix of the shadow and then the detailed leaves. Another look is to use both sides of the same stamp and layer on top or as I did. There are 6 images in this set so lots of possibilities. Also this set was added to the February portion of SAB. So with a qualifying order, you can get this set FREE. Be sure and choose it from the list of SAB items at checkout. And do not use the product number I have listed in my Supply List at the bottom of the post. There is a separate number for the Free one.
The PUNCH is part of the second stamp set. This is the Hugs For Love Bundle. You all know how much I love punches! I believe this one is special because of the shape. We do not have a punch, or even Dies really that have the angles of this punch shape. And it can be used with the straight sides either top/bottom or as I did on the sides. It is versatile and fairly large. The punch is part of the bundle but has it’s own name. It is the To The Point Label Punch. Additionally, there is a second stamp set in the Mini Catalog that can pair with the punch. It is the Bright Borders stamp set. Please check it out.
PAPERS
There are no extra designer papers on this card. It happens but not very often. I made my own background with the botanical stamps and kept it simple after that. The card base is Pool Party carrdstock with the layer of Lost Lagoon. As I mentioned at the top, it is a quick and easy one today.
EXTRAS
The punch can count as an extra even though it is part of the bundle. Being new gives it some leeway. But the Lost Lagoon Soft Cording is a fabulous extra! It thicker than bakers twine, but very soft. I did a pretend bow behind the punched layer. That is on dimensionals and the cording did not create a hump behind. So that should give you an idea of thickness. For the bling, I went with a soft bling. The similar tones of everything on the card called for more of the same. So the Party Dots were a go to choice. These are in soft colors and the one I chose pairs in great.
