Happy
Sunday! I know Labor Day weekend is the official
end of summer and it always makes me sad but I look forward to the cooler
weather and pretty colors of fall, why can’t we have it all?? I’m taking a great from all the weekend fun
to share the card I made using the awesome stamp set, Kinda
Eclectic. This set as some great
designs that really work well together, even if I wouldn’t have thought of
putting them together in the first place (does that make any sense?)
I started with Pool Party cardstock for the
cardbase and then added a piece of Whisper White cardstock for the
cardfront. Along the bottom I stamped
the little polka dots (they actually have letters printed in the dots if you
closely) all along the bottom. Next I
used the big sunburst image and stamped it in the center using So Saffron
ink. Next I cut a 2” piece of Whisper
White cardstock and punched on the top using the Ornate Tag Topper Punch and then stamped the sunburst again on the
tag a little off center. My plan was to
line up the tag when I finished so it looks like one solid image over the two
pieces of cardstock. I stamped the
greeting in Chocolate Chip ink and then stamp the larger butterfly on a scrap
of Whisper White cardstock using Pool Party ink and punched it out with the Elegant Butterfly Punch. I used a little Mono Tombo Adhesive down the center of the butterfly’s back to
attach it to the tag so I could bend the wings up for dimension and then added
some rhinestones for the body of the
butterfly. The final touch on the tag
was a piece of Chocolate Chip ¼” Cotton
Ribbon threaded through the hole.
Before
attaching the tag to the cardfront I took a piece of Chocolate Chip Designer
Series Paper (from the Neutrals Designer
Series Paper Stack) and punched a circle with the 2” Circle Punch to go behind the tag and then loops some Silver Metallic Thread and attached it
to the cardfront so it peaks out from behind the tag. The tag was attached with dimensionals as the last step for a fun
effect.
Now,
my thought behind this card was it would be perfect to send to a special friend
and then they could remove the tag and use it as a bookmark to get added
enjoyment from the card. I’ll admit I
don’t know if someone would actually remove the tag and use it but it will be
cool to find out.

an enjoyable Sunday and Labor Day!
