He, He ... sounds like a good book to read, doesn't it? Kind of like Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe. Well, it's not a new book ... it's this week's Stamping 411 Card!
I paired up the Trust God and Blissful Bird stamp sets with the Comfort Cafe Designer Series Paper.
I did something a little different for the banner that lays in the background behind the focal piece. I used three narrow strips of the DSP (3 different patterns) and put them together to make the banner. I embossed the entire background with the Big Shot and the Square Lattice Impressions Die.
Other supplies and tools include the Apothocary Accents Framelets, The Bird Builder Punch, and Stampin' Dimensionals. To make the mat behind the label die-cut, I cut 2 additional labels from Midnight Muse Cardstock and then cut them in half, one across the width and one down the middle, trimmed them and them attached them to the back of the label with SNAIL adhesive. It's an easy technique to do but I'll try to remember and get some pictures soon so I can create a quick tutorial for you.
Cardstock colors are Very Vanilla and Midnight Muse and I added another little banner on the inside of the card, for an extra touch!
That will do it for today! I want to thank everyone who purchased retired stamp sets and ribbons at my online garage sale! You helped me clear out a lot of space on my storage shelves!
Don't forget to stop by the Stamping 411 website and check out the other Operator projects! I'm always amazed at the talent of my stamping sisters!
Thanks so much for stopping by! I do hope you'll come back soon for more ideas and inspiration!
Beautiful card...love the idea of making the banner with different DSP strips.....TGS!

Very pretty, and a clever use of the banner papers! Love that little strip on the inside, too. I hadn't noticed that pretty bird set until now, either. Perfect!
