{Catalog Countdown: Day Two}

July 1 is fast upon us and we've got two more Catalog Countdowns to go, starting with this one! This sweet card was made using the You and Moi set, which will be unavailable after June 30. While displayed among the holiday stamps for Valentine's Day, I've used this card for anniversaries, birthdays and a simple notecard, like this one!

Studio Step-by-Step:

• Yoyo Yellow and Brilliant Blue are among the retiring colors as Stampin' Up! unveils its Color Renovation
• The word "love" is stamped with Whisper White Craft Ink. The word is part of the stem of a flower in the You and Moi set. Super easy!
• Once the word "love" was stamped on the card stock, I punched it with the retiring Trio Flower punch
• A strip of Whisper White Organza ribbon makes for a classy touch behind the squares...

A Patch upon the Knee...

I've thoroughly enjoyed a relatively quiet weekend, which has afforded me some time to catch up on some 365 Cards challenges. This challenge was to create a card that included a patch. I need some gift tags for baby gifts, so I opted for some baby overalls with a flower patch on the knee:




Stampin' Up! Supplies:


Stamps: Short and Sweet

Papers: Apricot Appeal, Pretty in Pink, Almost Amethyst and Whisper White card stocks


Inks: Classic Black and white Uni-ball Signo Gel Pen


Accessories: Trio Flower and Scallop Edge Punches

Studio Suggestion: You can't see it from my photo, but I used the Scallop Edge Punch on the left side of the little piece of Almost Amethyst that greets the recipient on the inside of the tag. It ties together with the scalloped edge of the Apricot Appeal as well as with the scallops of the flower punch patch.

So glad you popped by!
