Razzle Berry Upsy Daisy

I made this card packet and birthday card for a gift, I was so pleased with the colors and the outcomes. The card holder is just a piece of 81/2"x11" cardstock scored and folded to fit the cards, I then punched holes on each side of the cards and wove the ribbon through to hold the cards in place, simple but effective. It holds 8 different cards and envelopes for all occasions. My inspiration was the colors in the DSP.

The inside of the card holder.

2 cards using the Razzle Dazzle stamp set and various SU punches

Two more cards with little stamping save for the sentiments. One has been stamped with Versamark for a tone-on-tone look.

Upsy Daisy, I tried the shadow effect, by lifting the stamp slightly and restamping without re-inking.

More Versamark and tone-on-tone,

Colors throughout are Rich Razzleberry, Melon Mambo and Crushed Curry. I love these together!

One thing I found out while doing this set....
SU Whisper White is FAR superior to other brands. I had some precut and scrap pieces that I used for all the cards but the one with the Melon Mambo Razzle Dazzle stamp, in the third picture, I couldn't get a solid image and was very frustrated with the results; I've since discarded all my scraps that are not SU Whisper White. May as well use the best and be happy with the results.

Thanks for looking.....have a great weekend!

Dad's birthday

Tomorrow my Dad turns 70 ......this is the card I made for him.

I used Lovely as a Tree Stamped in Green Galore on whisper white, it was then layered onto a piece of DCWV DSP and then added 3 miscellaneous brads to balance out the greeting that came from the Upsy Daisy stamp set from Stampin'Up. Corners were punched with the ticket punch to finish it off.

We dodged hurricane Bill today.....managed to get away with only some moderate winds and rain, no major damage as was possible if he had changed his path.

Hope you all have a great week ahead!
Thanks, for visiting.
