Today I thought I'd combine a couple of older products with newer ones. I find when you do this, you get such a different look! I noticed I hadn't used my Natural Composition Designer Paper in a while, and when I saw this terrific woodgrain piece, I knew I had to pair it with something springy. Here in Centeral New York, it's 5 degrees as I type this and we just got quite a bit more snow overnight, so I'm really trying to think Spring!
- Color is such an interesting thing! In fact, it's really what brought me to stamping. I just love the interplay of colors and how some "work" and some don't. I started this card with Marina Mist and Daffodil Delight and it just wasn't right. Switched it up to Soft Sky and Summer Starfruit and voila – the perfect feel!
- Corner rounding has always been one of my favorite accents, and now with the help of the Envelope Punch Board, I have perfectly rounded corners every time. At just $19.95, this is going to be your "go to" tool – for something as basic as corner rounding and for making all sorts of coordinating envelopes for your beautiful cards.
- The main image stamp is from Animal Talk stamp set, and I've used markers to ink up the image and stamp on a Whisper White cardstock circle cut with the Circle Framelits. This wonderful collection of circles is also a real must in your collection. With 10 different layering pieces, you're sure to have just the right size. Be sure to grab Dimensionals for your circle to give it a little lift.
- The Natural Chevron Ribbon is the perfect embellishment for this card – nice and natural to go with our bird theme.
- Don't know what I'm going to do without Summer Starfruit come June when it retires! It's been the missing color in our palette for me! I do hope it returns one day, but for now, I'm using it as much as I can! Here I've used the new Petite Petals Punch along with a Dahlia to create the floral accent. Glue Dots are the best way to adhere the Dahlias to cardstock.
- In Color Dahlias are on the Weekly Deals – but hurry; they're only on sale today, along with the Summer Starfruit Ribbon!

Dog Talk!
Who says Christmas designer paper has to be used just for Christmas? I designed this cute birthday card around the Season of Style Designer Series Paper. Choose either the Paper Stack – 48 sheets, 24 each of 2 double-sided designs, 4-1/2"x6-1/2" OR the traditional 12"x12" Designer Series Paper, including 12 sheets, 2 each of 6 double-sided designs.
- I love the Animal Talk stamp set – 4 different images and coordinating sentiments makes this a really versatile set.
- Was it too much of a stretch? I used the Crumb Cake and White polka dot paper from the Season of Style pack to replicate the cute little dog – stamped on Crumb Cake cardstock and spots colored in with White Gel Pen.
- Actually, the main image got a little boost by stamping with VersaMark ink, pouring on some Early Espresso Embossing Powder and heat setting with the Heat Tool. That made a nice little "home" for the white gel pen to be applied.
- The lower line of text was simply stamped with Early Espresso Ink.
- I found the Island Indigo and White plaid paper in the Soho Subway Designer Series Paper pack. Just right for this card!
- All that was left was to give this card a little accent with White Baker's Twine.
- For those of you looking for masculine card ideas, this would be perfect!
