The first one used the really versatile stamp set Banner Blast and its coordinating Banner punch from Sale-a-bration. This set can be used to celebrate any occasion and as well as the 'banner' stamps, there is a heart, star and flower perfect for adding as an embellishment to the banner or as a background! The Banner punch can be used to cut out any DSP as well as card stock! The colours used in this project were Whisper White, Bermuda Bay, Rich Razzleberry, Daffodil Delight and Melon Mambo. The background was embossed using the Chevron Embossing folder and the greeting taken from the Perfectly Penned stamp set. Linen thread tied into a bow and placed at the end of the banners finishes off the card.
The second card we made was based on an idea I found from an American demonstrator, Mary Fish who has lots of lovely, crisp design ideas. This one uses another Sale-a-bration stamp set See Ya Later and the Sale-a-bration DSP, Sweet Sorbet. The design of this card is called an easel and the main colours used were Whisper White, Basic Black and Pool Party which compliment the colours of this sheet of DSP perfectly. The black flowers were punched out using the Petit Petals punch from the new Spring/Summer catalogue and the Pool Party flowers from the Itty Bitty punch pack and finished off with a Basic Pearl Jewel in the centre. Another flower was used on the strip of DSP backed with a piece of Basic Black card punched using the Scallop Trim border to act as a 'stay' to keep the card up giving it the appearance of being an easel. I love the crisp clear design and use of colours of this card (even though I do say so myself!!)
