What a fun day yesterday was! Whew... it was wonderfully busy though. Thank you to those who came - I absolutely love a full house of excited stampers! Squeals & laughter filled the rooms. Of course I always wish I had taken photos of my events, but rarely remember to.
Open House cards should be quick & easy, however you may know I have a hard time keeping cards simple & free of layers, so I was thrilled to case this idea from a few different stampers.
The texture of the white on white is beautiful. And the stamps included in the Level 3 Hostess set 'Kind & Caring Thoughts' can make any card a WOW.
Colors are Melon Mambo & Black.
We used the Scallop edge punch for the bottom trim - on sale this week only for just $10.99!!
They also made this card using the new stamp sets - Circle Circus & Animal Stories.
Does everyone see this as a giraffe? I sure thought it was a horse at first! Had to be corrected by one of my friends! It's obvious when you look at his tail & horn - it sure fooled me!
We used the Scalloped Oval Sizzix die. You can cut out both the black & white card stock at one time with this Bigz die.
Colors are Pumpkin, Black & White. We used the left-over white frame on the inside of the card too.
Mmm, my inside greeting sure looks crooked here. But I think it's the picture - yeah, we'll go with that!
