but this morning I had to spend trying frantically to book our hotel room for Convention. Seems SU! had a little snafu and so nothing went as planned BUT I finally got a room for me an my gals (sounds like a song, doesn't it??!) and we are within walking distance of the Convention center - whoohoo!!! So, now on to the card! I seem to be stuck on
Tart and Tangy lately - I totally adore this set! The base on this one is
Garden Green card stock, then layered with
Summer Picnic Designer Series Paper. I
double stitched around the outside of this and used my
Ticket Corner Punch on the edges. Then, I used my
Circle Scallop Punch with
Garden Green card stock for the base of my images. I also added small holes all around the scallops with my
paper piercer. The images themselves are stamped on
Whisper White card stock. For the two green
apples, I used my
Green Galore and
Garden Green Stampin' Write markers to color the stamp directly. The red apple is stamped twice, so I could make it
dimensional. Love this! It is colored in
Real Red and Garden Green Stampin' Write markers. The center strip is
Garden Green card stock to which I added two
Jumbo Pewter eyelets, then threaded these with
Old Olive narrow grosgrain ribbon - yummy! The sentiment is stamped in
Real Read Classic Ink on
Whisper White card stock, then layered on
Garden Green card stock. It is from the
One Smart Cookie stamp set. Both pieces are punched using my
Small and Large oval punches. I then added a piece of
Real Red narrow grosgrain ribbon, popped it up on
dimensionals, and was done! I hope you like it! Now, off to pick my kiddos - toodles!

Super cute Alex! I love this set too. Can't get enough of it. Love your colors and layout too! Beautiful work as always! :)
Good news on your hotel too, you're going to have so much fun! I'm jealous! LOL! :)
This is a great card. Love the different layers and the piercing. Amy would love this card....apples and teachers and such.
Glad to hear you're going to convention and that your hotel is all settled. I believe we've got our hotel too....a fellow stamper who is also a travel agent was arranging it. Yipee.
I also liked the orange card you had in an earlier post!
