Hello Everyone.  Summer is almost here for most of us folks and you know what that brings, family BBQs and lots of summer birthdays.  My project today is just that a birthday card.  I followed the SCS Color Challenge from yesterday with one exception.  Instead of Certaily Celery I choose Pear Pizzazz because I needed a little more depth.  The colors are Very Vanilla, Blushing Bride, So Saffron and Pear Pizzazz.  My stamp set is Afterthoughts a Level 1 Hostess Gift.  Contact me and I'll tell you how you can received this stamp set for FREE.  My first layer is my Blushing Bride and I used our Square Lattice Embossing Folder on it.  Don't you just love that embosing folder, it's one of my favs.  Next is a layer of Pear Pizzazz and So Saffron.  I didn't have enough Pear Pizzazz ribbon to go all round the card so I punched a hole about half way down my strip.  This way I can insert my ribbon and tie my bow and no one is the wiser that it doesn't go around the complete card.  Great tip!!!!!  Next I cut my squares.  The So Saffron is 2 7/8" square and the Pear Pizzazz is 2 3/8" square.  I then punched them out with our Scallop Trim Corner Punch and our Scallop Trim Border Punch.  If you need a refresher on how to do this technique just google it and you will find a video out there.
