Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

I took the weekend off but I’m back to say HELLO in a fun & whimsical way. I am using the Delightfully Eclectic 12 x 12 Designer Series paper. This paper is so much fun with a total of 48 sheets … you’ll get 4 sheets each of 12 double-sided designs. That is 24 “delightfully eclectic” patterns. I’ve used several already and I’m sharing one of them with you today.

My pattern choice today was the fun floral in Fresh Freesia and Basic Black. I matted my paper with the black and chose the Fresh Freesia cardstock as my base. Once layered I added the Black & White 1/4″ Gingham Ribbon which I tied in a cute little bow.

With such a fun and whimsical pattern, I chose the Alphabest stamp set and coordinating Best Label punch. I first stamped the outer design in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and then stamped my greeting in the Fresh Freesia ink.

With the Alphabest being photopolymer stamps, it’s a breeze to align the letters inside your stamped outer designs.

I popped up my greeting using the Mini Dimensionals and attached them in a playful way … I find this a “no stress” way to add my individually punched pieces because I don’t have to make sure it’s perfectly straight.

To finish off the card, I added my favorite “Iridescent Ice” Rhinestones … they go on everything!! I love the way the pick up the colors that are one your card. Perfect for a super simple, fun and whimsical card.

Thank you for joining me today. I hope you have a great week ahead.
