Springtime Vintage Card

I hope that everyone had a wonderful weekend!  Today, I wanted to share with you the Springtime Vintage card that I made for the Swap at our meeting last week.  I just love this Designer Paper in the Occasions Mini catalog!   So many wonderful designs to choose from. 

So here is my Swap card:

Recipe:
Stamp Set -  Baby Blossoms, You're a Gem
Cardstock - Very Vanilla  4 1/4" x 11", Plus a scrap
                   Marina Mist  3" x 3" square, 4 1/4" x 4 1/2 "
Springtime Vintage Designer Paper  3 1/4" x 4 1/4"
Ink - Always Artichoke, Marina Mist, Bashful Blue
Dotted Ribbon Punch, Pearl Jewels, Marina Mist and Very Vanilla 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon, Crop A Dile

The Crop A Dile was used to punch a hole in the front of the card, so that you can tie the ribbon around the card threading it through the hole.  Your ribbon stays in place without any adhesive and you can tie the perfect bow!  Woo Hoo!  This technique was demonstrated at our Regionals and I LOVE it! 

Thanks for stopping by today !!
Hope that you can make some time to do some stamping today!
