Birthday Block

So at this time I have very little ribbon that is current or will be current on July 1. So for this card I improvised.

• I colored the Black striped Grosgrain Ribbon with a sponge and Melon Mambo ink.
• Instead of a knot in the ribbon I used a Rhinestone brad to hold it closed.
• I stamped the stamp in Melon Mambo and then with the Basic Black Marker I colored two lines of words on the stamp, I then stamped on Whisper White.
• I Matted this on Basic Black, then Melon Mambo, then Basic Black, to this I added the Ribbon.
• I ran a piece of Whisper White through the Big Shot in the Perfect Polka Dot folder, mounted it on a Melon Mambo card front and then added the matted phrase.

I like how this one turned out.

All New! Birthday Block

The new mini catalog that starts May 1st has 4 stamps sold as singles, they are $8.95 or less. This makes a simple card, in card #1 I used markers to color in the different colors. I used Melon Mambo, Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie CS on a base of Whisper White CS. The Ribbon is Melon Mambo and the Tag Punch and Tiny Tags from the Occasions Mini will be in the new catalog in July.

On card #2 I Used Melon Mambo, Basic Black and Whisper White CS. I used the Scallop Edge punch on the card front and on a piece of Basic Black that is attached on the inside of the card.
