Button Buddies

Hidy Ho stampers,

Today I needed to make a few cards to send out.  Here is what I came up with.

Stamp Sets:  Button Buddies, Four Frames, Friendly Phrases

Ink:  Pool Party (LOVE THAT COLOR)

Cardstock:  Whisper White, Pool Party, 2011-2013 In Color Designer Series Paper

Accessories:  Designer Printed Brads 2011-2013 In Color; Big Shot; Perfect Pennants; Fancy Fan Letterpress Plate; 2 1/2" Circle Punch; Decorative Label Punch; Pool Party 3/8" Ruffled Ribbon

I'm very pleased with the card.  I just love the new brads and the ruffled ribbon is adorable.  Remember I'm doing a ribbon share, if you'd like to be put on the list, let me know.

 I used the new Fancy Fan Letter Press Plate to get that gorgeous background.  Go ahead, look back up there, did you miss it?  Well if you saw the card in person you wouldn't.  I like to spray rubbing alcohol on my cardstock before I run it through, this makes the paper "mold" to the die.  It comes out much crisper.  Why didn't I use just plain water to wet the paper?  Because the alcohol dries faster.

 In the afternoon, we decided to go to the Capital District Scottish Games.  They were amazing.  Listening to these groups gives me goosebumps!

And of course there was lots of food.

 Just amazing.

It was a wonderful day!

I hope you enjoyed your day…every minute of it!  Thank you for stopping by.
