A Little Preview

This is one of my swaps for Convention. This year, instead of joining in the general swap, I've joined 2 group swaps....so, I'll need 4 different swaps of about 30 each. This is one of them. The colors used on this card are not my typical combo....read about them somewhere, and I love the way they work together! The So Saffron background is actually a piece of pre-printed Designer Paper, new in the catalog. These papers are double sided and can be purchased in our choice of any one of many of our colors....gotta love that! The backgound of the card is simply a piece of Close to Cocoa (no stamping). The flowers were created with the fabulous new punch kit, Three for You Punch Box....SU's answer to all those fabulous floral embellishments that seem to be everywhere. Now we can add our own in any color, stamped background, pre-printed background, or whatever! AND the best part about this new punch kit?.....the stamps are pre-cut!!! For the stems, I simply used a ruler and the fine tip of the Chocolate Chip Marker. The saying is also part of the fabulous set that comes with the punch....just used the Word Window Punch. Add some Real Red Grosgrain....yes, it's back, just re-named. Simple and fun to make. Sure hope the ladies I swap with like this card!
