The first card today uses the Fresh Vintage stamp set. Although there were some fantastic options this year in the Sale-A-Bration catalog, I think this was my favorite.
The idea for this card came from Sharon Field. If you are a demonstrator, you can see her card HERE on Stampin' Connection. I changed the color and that was about it! I picked Calypso Coral since I wanted to use the ribbon from the Everyday Enrichment Pack. I've used almost two sets of the brads, but sadly have barely touched the ribbon. A very simple card that I'm sure I'll be making some more of soon!
Stamps: Fresh Vintage (only available during SAB), Curly Cute
Ink: Calypso Coral
Paper: Whisper White
Accessories: Calypso Coral organdy ribbon (only available during SAB), Whisper White taffeta ribbon (under the other ribbon), dimensionals
The second card is super simple and uses the Outlined Occasions stamp set. I did heat emboss the sentiment, and then used my Versamarker to color it in. It makes the sentiment pop just a little more (especially in real life). The Designer Series Paper is actually the Twitterpated set from the Occasions Mini Catalog--with a thin strip of Riding Hood Red card stock on top.
Stamps: Outlined Occasions
Ink: Versmark and Versamarker
Paper: Basic Gray, Riding Hood Red, Twitterpated DSP
Accessories: Embossing Buddy, White Stampin' Emboss Powder, Heat tool, White Baker's Twine
