If you are hopping around in a circle, you have just come from Tanya's beautiful blog. I just love her fresh and fun style! Happy Congratulations was the first stamp set to jump out at me in the Occasions catalog. I love flags, banners, and paper lanterns, and this set was so attractive, and yet so simple.
In the Go for the Gold (and Silver) class, we created a classic, elegant card, perfect for a silver anniversary or even birthday.
The paper lanterns fit nicely into the 3/4" Circle punch for some fun layering. And don't miss the fabulous and fun detail of the gold and silver designer vellum sheets.
Stamps: Happy Congratulations; Paper: Very Vanilla, Smoky Slate, Silver Foil sheets, Silver Fancy Foil designer vellum; Ink: Silver Encore; Accessories: Silver baker's twine, Silver 1/8" ribbon, Dotted Scallop Ribbon border punch, 3/4" Circle punch, Clear embossing powder, Decorative Dots EF, Chalk Talk framelits, Texture Boutique, Dimensionals.
Here is a easel card I've had in my mind since December, inspired by a wonderful swap by Missi Roeber at 2013 Convention.
The 4-1/4 x 11" card base is scored at 3-5/8" and 7-3/8". The lanterns are stamped on vellum and sandwiched between the front panel and card base. And the card is illuminated with a flameless tea light. The card follows the color scheme for Fab Friday #36.
Stamps: Happy Congratulations; Paper: Basic Black, Whisper White, Gold Foil sheet, Vellum; Ink: Crushed Curry, Bermuda Bay, Strawberry Slush, Black Stazon; Accessories: Gold Sequin trim, 3/4" Circle punch, Dotted Scallop Ribbon border punch, Tea light.
