I’m sharing with you the swap card I made for our February Group Meeting. After the dreary winter days we’ve been experiencing the colors just make me smile. Hope you enjoy it.
I made it using the Banner Blast stamp set featured on page 13 of the Sale-A-Bration Catalog. The stamp set is available for free with a $50 Stampin’ Up! purchase through March 31st.
The base of the card is Whisper White card stock that measures 8-1/2 x 5-1/2 and is scored at 4-1/4 in landscape mode.
I embossed a 5-1/4 x 4 piece of Pool Party card stock with the Fancy Fan embossing folder using the Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine and then cut a “frame” in the embossed cardstock with the Labels Collection Framelits. I stamped the sentiment to the card base using the From My Heart stamp set and Jet Black StazOn Ink then attached the embossed layer to the card base using Stampin’ Demensionals. I was generous with the Dimensionals to really boost the 3-D effect.
I stamped the banners then punched them out using the Banner punch from the Sale-A-Bration Catalog which is also available for free with a $50 Stampin’ Up! purchase. The banners were attached to the card with Snail adhesive, then bows made with Whisper White baker’s twine were added and finally a little bling between each banner using Rhinestone Basic Jewels.
