This is a set, Friends Never Fade, that I've owned for awhile now, but just haven't used. I look at it, like it, but nothing has "popped" to do with it. Ever have a set like that? Well, in Stampin' Up!'s new 2011-2012 Idea Book and Catalog, they included 2 new products that are also in the 2011 Summer Mini Catalog - Melon Mambo embossing powder and Beyond the Garden Designer Series Paper. I've used both of these products on this card. I now have some other ideas to do with it also, so check back and see what I come up with!
Stampin' Up! has THE best embossing powders of any that I've used. The colors are true and vibrant. The saying , "what you see is what you get" holds true where the colors are concerned. I've bought other embossing powders based on the color I see in the bottle, only to be VERY dissappointed when the final product is not the same color or intensity. I've never had that problem with Stampin' Up!'s colors, so am very excited to see at leaset some of them return. I look forward to using them more.......
Here is the inside of the card.
I like adding a stamped image to the area where you write the message. I hope it makes the reader smile and "feel good" to see that little color.
Hope you like this Monday morning card. My goal is to give you something every day this week! If there is a technique or stamp set that you'd like to see, leave me a comment, I'll do my best. I don't own EVERY stamp set in the catalog - even if my husband things I might!
Happy Stamping!
