FOR MY FRIEND


Hi Stampers!
What a treat it can be and a lift to the spirits to receive and unexpected card in the mail -- especially from a friend.

Today's post is the 1st of 3 cards made at this month's stamping club (we call it "Cheaper than Therapy" and it is!)

I love cards that use materials I have readily available, require a minimum of tools and go together quickly and easily.  This one fits the bill.  (note:  The colors in the card are much prettier and truer my photo shows. For example, the little vase is stamped in Crumb Cake and matches the card base, which is plain not mottled. )

Simple stamping, cuts and punches and this card goes together in a snap.

To make one, you will need:
STAMP SETS:  Bright Blossoms, Friendly Phrases
PAPER: Crumb Cake, Soft Suede Whisper White card stock; Polka Dot Parade designer series paper
INKS:  Crumb Cake, Soft Suede
PUNCHES:  1-3/4" Circle, 2-3/8" Scallop Circle, Punch Pack
ETC:  Rhinestones, Real Red 1/4" Stitched Grosgrain ribbon, Stampin' Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots

And it's ready for your personal message inside.

More from Club in my next post.  Until then,

Hapy Stampin'!
