Morning Cup With a Touch of Elegance
July 20th, 2010 , 2 Comments »Hi Everyone, the clouds have moved in and it is a little dreary here today. How are you enjoying the new catty so far? Stampin' Up has done it again. Another great year. I have a soft place in my heart for old looking ribbons, papers and you know those feminine kind of frilly looking things. I'm so happy to show you my card today. I think it is expressing just those feelings. If you haven't had a chance to really look at some of our new designer papers you have been missing out. We have some great color combos and graphic designs this year. The one I used today is called Elegant Soiree' #117163.
It has one of our past favorites in it Baja Breeze combined with Soft Suede and Very Vanilla. So very soft and feminine looking. I coupled my DP with a piece of Baja Breeze Cardstock #105120. My stamp set is called Morning Cup #120489. TIP: What makes or breaks a card is the amount of attention you give to the details. It's the little things that count. Boy I've got a lot here. You may not be able to see it my first layer is a tag cut from our Two Tags #115954 die cut using the Big Shot #113439. Boy that's a cool tool that I use every day. Next I punched a Scallop Circle from our new Scallop Circle Punch #118874 and added a 2" circle on top of that. I chose the tea pot for my image and I colored it in with ink and a blender pen #102845. My ribbons are the star of the show. I used a little of our new ribbon called Victoria 5/8" and added a little pizzazz with the 1/4" Choc Chip (ret). Our new Early Expresso 1/4" #119961 will work just fine. Added a random button. But if you look closely. underneath I have also added a piece of DP and mak\de it look like a ticket. I cut approx a 1" x 1.25" piece of Elegant Soiree'' and used our Ticket Corner Punch #119867. Well there you have it my version of something you would find in the olden days. I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for stopping by today, I will be gathering my supplies and getting ready for Stamp Club tomorrow. What fun!!!!!!!! Have a wonderful day. Toodles
