Hidy Ho Stampers,
Remember if you are coming to Stamp Camp, get your forms in. Click here to get your copy of the registration form.
Today's card uses the NEW Petite Petals Bundle which includes the Petite Petals Stamp Set and the Petite Petals Punch. It also uses the Kaleidosccope Designer Series Paper. I turned the black striped paper into a Chevron Pattern.
okay, let me know which you like better the card with the black pearl
or the card with the white pearl! I just can't decide which one I like better.
See the layers.
and look at the paper that was made to "look" like a Chevron pattern.

Thank you for stopping by, I appreciate you taking time out of your busy day to look at my blog. If I can ever be of help, please let me know. Have a great day.
Love the card and the white pearl the best. It seemed to soften the card. Can,t wait to get the Petite Flowers stamp set and punch.
Oops, Petite Petals stamp set.
Both cards are really nice, but I like the black pearl best. The tip on the cutting of the black stripes is great. I like how you used all three flower punches! Very striking cards!
I like the black pearl better…clever use of the striped paper. Thanks for the video!
Both are beautiful but I think I prefer the black pearl. It helps the flower “pop”!
I love the cards! Simply elegant and beautiful. Thank you so much for the video on making the chevron pattern. I am a learner who uses all senses — visual, auditory, and kinesthetic — so the video fits the bill. I read your blog every day. Nancy B
Thank you for sharing this card. Absolutely beautiful!
How did you get your pearl black?
Love your “Build a Chevron” card and I like it with the black pearl. 🙂
Sorry that I do not live closer….sounds like fun (the stamp camp). Have a great time.
The chevron card looks simple enough..will have to try it. Very pretty and clean-looking. Thanks again.

I like the black pearl.
I love your card! I think black and white is elegant too. I definitely like the black pearl best. This is a card I want to make when I get more of the elements. Thank you for sharing and making great videos.
Hi Nan, you will LOVE the Petite Petals Flowers, did you get the whole BUNDLE??? The punch is so stinken cute and easy to use. Thank you for letting me know about the pearl. I like the white pearl, it has a simple elegance to it don’t you think?!
Nan, I keep doing that too! Petals, not flowers! So funny!.
thank you Brenda for your lovely comment. I do like the black one best but the white one has a simple elegence to it. I’m glad you liked my tip, I hope you try it. Easy and fun way to get a different look from some of our paper. I wanted to show the difference of all three punches/sets to show they “nest” nicely! Thank you for stopping by, please stop by often.
