Aloha, all!

I’ve been busy this week getting ready for my trip to the Stampin’ Up! Convention is Salt Lake City next week.  I’ve not planned a lot of swapping, but I have been working on projects to submit to the Marketing booth once I get there.  Next week I’ll share some of those projects with you.  But for today, I’d like to share a project whose design puzzled me a bit, but which I finally figured out.  I couldn’t believe it was as simple as it turned out to be.

The card is 5-1/2" square, and features the new Stampin’ Up! In Colors and the new Designer Series Paper, Razzleberry Lemonade.  The body of the card uses Rich Razzleberry card stock, and the Razzleberry Lemonade DSP is mounted on a square of Crushed Curry card stock.  The card stock is also featured on the band punched with the Eyelet Border Punch.

I stamped the "9" and "0" with stamps from the Taffy Numbers stamp set using Rich Razzleberry ink on Crushed Curry.  I punched the numbers with the Curly Label punch, and matted that with card stock cut with the Sizzix Movers and Shapers Stampin’ Up! Punch Windows die.

I tied it all up with Whisper White Organza Ribbon.

Most important–I made this card for our friend, Marian, who turns 90 this month!  She’s going to have several birthday parties, none of which we’ll be able to attend, unfortunately.  They’re in Minnesota and we’re in Hawaii.  We’ve made that trip once this year, and a second time would be just too much traveling for this summer.  Harry still hasn’t recovered from being ill on the last trip!

Tomorrow–the inside of the card and how I resolved my problem!!!
