Can you tell I was having fun with my new Stampin' Up! toys? Even the Cherry Cobbler card stock and ink pad was new. What was especially fun was this card was a favorite with my Christmas in July Fast & Fabulous attendees. What a great job I have! I get to have fun playing with new stuff with the added benefit of making others happy. How many can say that?
One stamper said she thought this card looked so pretty and complicated until she sat down to make it. It really is quite simple. I just used several tools: Scallop Circle Punch, 2-3/8" Scallop Circle Punch and Sizzix Scallop Circles #2 Bigz Die, Scallop Edge Punch, the pretty new Jolly Holiday Designer Series Paper and the pretty color combination of Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive and Very Vanilla.
