25th Anniversary Blog Tour

Welcome to my blog and the 25th Anniversary Blog Tour featuring Best of Birthdays.  I hope you enjoy my samples!



 It's always a fun surprise for the recipient of the card to find the inside stamped as well. 

Supplies Used

Ink - Black StazOn, Indigo Island, Real Red and the following Stampin' Write Markers - Daffodil Delight, Indigo Island, Real Red, Tangerine Tango

My daughter received a thank you card with this layout and I really liked it so I got to work making this card. I started by picking the designer paper which gave me my color scheme. That makes it so easy!

 The insert slides out and that is where the message is written. Cute idea? I think so.

This is my favorite ; ) I'm loving the Flower Trim and how easy it is to change the color to coordinate with the colors in the card. The flowers are vanilla. I took a sponge dauber and dipped it into the ink pad and sponged the flowers. One or two dabs is all they needed. Voila!
