Easy Events Gift Card

This little gift card was made with the Easy  Events stamp set.  The card base is one of Stampin' Up's new In Colors this year.  It is called Pool Party.  I love the crisp, cool feel of this beautiful color!
Pool  Party is paired with Crumb Cake card stock which is used as a neutral and complimenting color.

Note: This card is not my original creation.  I found it somewhere on the web but was unable to find it again to give credit to the original artist when I decided to add it to my blog post.


The accent on this card is the pretty Lace Ribbon Border punch.  It has been layered to give a ruffled look.  The top layer is wrapped with Crumb Cake seam binding and finished off with a simple knot






This card measures 3" x 3"  when folded and fits into Stampin' Up's mini envelope.

Inspired by Nature with Crimped Background

I've been admiring this crimped diamond technique on several cards lately, and when I received one for a swap at Convention I decided to try my hand at it. The image seems to fit inside the diamond shape quite nicely.  I found a Crimped Diamond technique tutorial by Lee Conrey on Splitcoast stampers.  Thanks, Lee, for such great photos and directions!

Inside, I finished the card with another daisy stamp, some sponging around the edge, and a scallop edge along the bottom.

So glad you stopped by today.  Happy Stamping!
