I’m happy that the Tag Talk stamp set and the coordinating Label Bracket Punch are being carried over into the new catalog. This set is very versatile and can be used for so many different celebratory occasions.
Today I whipped up four cards in about the same amount of time it would take to make just one. It took only four Whisper White note cards and envelopes, one sheet of Tangelo Twist card stock, half of one sheet of Whisper White card stock, three stamps from the Tag Talk stamp set, two colors of ink (Pacific Point and Cucumber Crush,) one embossing folder (Perfect Polka Dots,) and the Bracket Label Punch…and a par-tri-idge in a pear tree. Sorry, I couldn’t resist.
And, of course, Liquid MultiPurpose Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Here are all four cards, each one different, but all basically the same. I like the way the curves of the punched shapes fit together, as though I just pulled three pieces out of a puzzle.
Did you catch my mistake? All the stripes are going in the same direction except one. See the one on the upper left card? It was a quick and easy fix, but by the time I noticed it, the sun was too low to get another picture. Whenever possible, I like to take my pictures with natural light. Anyhoo, just trust me that it’s fixed now. 🙂
I felt the envelopes needed a little something, and decorating the flap is very trendy right now, so that’s what I did. I used the same embossing folder as above.
Flap Tutorial
Put just the flap inside the folder, and wrap the rest of the envelope around the back.
Here it is from the front and from the back. Now run it through your Big Shot.
Voila! Here’s the finished envelope, front and back. Very quick and easy – and you know I’m all about that – but it really adds something special.
The only new item I used today was a Cucumber Crush Classic Stampin’ Pad – I love that vibrant green! All the new items will be available to order on June 2 – that’s just 9 days away!!!
