Hi Stampers!

Today's card features a technique that is oh-so-easy but has a great WOW! factor -- sanded DSP.

To make it you will need:

     

     Itty Bitty Banners stamp set

     Soft Suede and Regal Rose card stock

     Brights Designer Series Paper pack

     Regal Rose classic ink pad

     Manhattan Flower embossing folder

     Bitty Banners Framelits

     Big Shot & platform, standard cutting pads

     Sanding block

     Glue Stick, or other adhesiv

     Paper snips

 Here's what you do:

1.  Cut Soft Suede card stock 5.5" x 8.5".  Score long edge at 4.25" (card base)

2.  On a scrap of Regal rose card stock, stamp the Itty Bitty Banners greeting.

3.  Using the Big Shot, emboss the Manhattan Flower image onto a 4.25" x 5.5" piece of Regal Rose designer series paper; then cut out the stamped greeting using the Bitty Banners Framelits -- they were made for each other!

4.  Adhere flower image to card front.  Expose white core of DSP by lightly sanding the raised image. 

5. Using the snips, trim away the extra card stock on the card front along the upper edge of the roses.

6.  Adhere greeting to upper right corner of the now exposed inner card.

Voila! In just a few minutes, a thing of beauty.

Play with different color combinations to make your own beautiful card bouquet.

MAKE IT A BANNER YEAR!

Banners are very much an "in" thing. (Have they ever not been?) From campaign sites to store openings to birthday parties to backyard BBQ's, banners add a touch of fun to every day happenings.  You can even make a scrap book banner of your vacation or ot her happy event!  With a Big Shot and dies, lettering, shapes and images are a snap.

All of the above examples were found on the display boards at Convention 2012 and made with Stampin' Up!© products.  Check the current catalog link for more ideas and supplies.  Happy summer crafting everyone.
