Band Together Stamp Set & Detailed Bands Dies by StampinUP


This card was made at a couple classes & I
think everyone enjoyed it!

Color Combo Includes:
Bermuda Bay, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive & White

Stampin Blends were used to color the flowers (one of my fav
products in the Annual Catalog).  I have never liked to
color all that much but even I can appreciate the smooth and
"no brush line" quality of the Stampin Blends!!  Love them!

The Band Together Bundle was used on my card, and
can be seen on pg. 121 (Annual Catalog).

  I appreciate you viewing my post today.
Thank you so much.....now go stamp something!!  LOL

2 Masculine Cards Made w/ Come Sail Away Memory Cards & A Good Man Stamp Set

 I made this card with products from the
Come Sail Away Memories & More Card Pack.

layout a couple of times with other things.
Its very simple (& fun) to switch colors & stamps
to make a similar card to the one you are CASING!!

I would love to see your version!!  You can always
send me a pic, & (with your permission) I would 
share it here on my blog or Facebook!!
