Stampin' Up!'s Embellished Events....

 Here is a card that we made back in December at a workshop that uses the Embellished Events stamp set.  It is a quick and easy card for welcoming a new baby.

Here's the inside of the card.  I used to not finish the inside of all of my cards but recently got it in the habit and I think it makes such a difference!

Perfectly Preserved & Friendship Preserves

I made this card for a recent Holiday Catalog card swap that Deb Townsend hosted.  We are required to a make a "Wow" card which means at least 4-5 layers, 2 embellishments and completed on the inside.  My assigned stamp set was Friendship Preserves.  I love how this card turned out.  I love the Gumball Green and Island Indigo combination with the punch of Real Red.  When I first saw the new In Colors, I didn't think that they coordinated with last year's In Colors but this combination certainly works for me!

 Here's a list of what was used to make this card - it is a long one!

• Cardstock - Whisper White, Island Indigo, Real Red and Gumball Green
• DSP - Summer Smooches and 2011-2013 In Colors Patterned Pack
• Inks - Island Indigo, Real Red and Gumball Green
• Stamp Sets - Friendly Phrases, Perfectly Preserved and Friendship Preserves
• Stripes and Square Lattice embossing folders
• Tasteful Trim Bigz XL die
• Cannery Set and Window Frames framelit dies
• 1/8" Mini Brads and 3/8" Designer Printed Brads

That is quite a list!  Wow!  See, I told you it was a wow card.  Here's the inside all finished and ready for a signature and mailing.
