Sneak Peek - Seize the Cake

Greetings stampers!

I have another sneak peek for you today.  This is a really quick and easy card using a couple new products.  One is the Cherry on Top DSP stack.  I've used the Cherry on Top DSP stack on other cards as well.  When you see it you will love the bright, cheery colors!  

The Cherry on Top paper and greeting are backed by another new paper from the catalog,  It's called Cotton Paper.  It's a light weight, sturdy alternative to regular DSP or cardstock. The best way I can describe this paper is that it's like a very heavy tissue paper.

The greeting is framed using the Banner Triple punch.   It's another new tool that you are going to have to have!  

And the greeting itself is from the returning set, Something to Say, and is stamped in the new In Color, Watermelon Wonder.

Finally, because I made this card a 4 x 4, I needed a custom envelope for it.  So, I pulled out my handy Envelope Punch Board and new Envelope Paper!  Yes, another new product this year is envelope paper!  This is a lighter weight paper and really is great for envelopes....and for cards, of course!

June 2 will be here in less than a week!  Have you decided what you will order first?  My list is a mile long.  I still have to figure out what I need first.  Such a decision!

*******************

Change the World!

Hello!

How is your week going?  I'm back in one of the super-busy times at work again.  I thrive when I am busy, but I've been putting in 11+ hours / day and this pace will continue for the next couple of weeks.  I imagine I'll be pretty tired of it by the time this project is ready to move on.

Today's card is one I made a couple weeks ago - just because.  I really like the Traveler set.  All of the images are so "vintage-ly cool".  Here is today's card:
