Stampin' Up! 2011 In Colors Pool Party and Calypso Coral come together in this pattern of the 2012 Sale-a-bration Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper. The free with purchase Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper, Everyday Enchantment Ribbon/Brad Pack and Stripes Embossing Folder came together to make a cute no-stamping greeting card.
The blue flower brad from the free with purchase Everyday Enchantment Ribbon/Brad Pack reminded me of the Bouquet Blossom Triple Layer Punch. With a closer view, don't you think so too?
The punched and layer flower served as my focal point for my handmade greeting card. The flower on the brad is Pool Party. I tried Pool Party for the outline punched flower but preferred the contrast of the Calypso Coral.
My flower used all three of the layers offered by the Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer Punch. While it may not sound exciting, the Very Vanilla card stock layer peeking out behind the petals lets the Pool Party layer stand out beautifully.
I was feeling all kinds of fancy when I ran my Calypso Coral Card Stock block layers through the Sixxiz Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine with the free with purchase for Sale-a-bration 2102 Stripes Embossing Folder twice. The first time with vertical embossed stripes and then with horizontal embossed stripes. Check out my embossed checkerboard pattern.
Pretty cool, heh?
Let's get a close-up view of the pattern of the background paper I used for this handmade greeting card. It is cute like the flower brad. The make for a nice pairing.
And how about that ribbon? It is, again, a free with purchase selection. The ribbon and brads come together in one package. How cool is that? Two rolls of ribbon and an assortment of limited-edition brads. I'm having a ball with them all!
I tied the ribbon around the entire front of the card and tied a big bow in the center. You just the loops and ends sticking out from behind the punched flower. I don't believe I have ever done anything quite like that. But I like it!
