Mixed Bunch Posy Punch Hello

STILL using up retired colors! I've been doing quite a lot of these kind of cards lately using retired colors of SU! card stock as the card base, along with DP from K&Company. Notice that I ran the DP through my Cuttlebug using a SU! Embossing Folder to add a little texture. If you click on the picture to get a closer look you will see that the DP actually cracked a little bit to let some of the white on the reverse show through. Kinda gives it a distressed look that I like. I set aside a pack of these to give away as a gift and used a few for myself. CARD STOCK: Gable Green (retired), DP (one of 50 designs in Kay&Company's "Pretty in Pink" 200DP Box), Whisper White. STAMPS: Mixed Bunch, Posy Punch. INK: Tangerine Tango, Real Red. OTHER: Square Lattice Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Blossom Punch, 1" Circle Punch, Elmer's CraftBond Foam Mounting Tape (WalMart)

An oldie but goodie!

This one is easy as can be, and packs a powerful color punch with minimal stamping. I used this design for Thanksgiving cards one year, and had a few leftovers, so I stuck "Thank You" on the front to use 'em up! CARD STOCK: Very Vanilla, Chocolate Chip, More Mustard, Sage Shadow (discontinued), Really Rust, Creamy Caramel (discontinued). STAMPS: Lovely As a Tree (came out in 2001 and still available!), Warmest Regards. INK: Chocolate Chip. OTHER: Scallop Oval Punch, Large Oval Punch, Elmer's CraftBond Foam Mounting Tape (WalMart).
