Pressed Petals Thank You and a Blog Hop!

Happy Saturday...or perhaps I should say happy BOGO-day! Today is my big, big BOGO sale where I give away new product from the annual catalogue of equal value to purchases of retired products from my sale. It is a crazy-popular event...doors open at 8 am and I typically have a line-up of eager shoppers waiting. I mean, who doesn't love free stuff, right?

Today also marks our monthly Stamping Symphony team blog hop...

This month we are all about new products and, since I'm focusing on the gorgeous new Pressed Petals Suite this week, I thought I'd share another project I demonstrated in this week's Live @ Five video...

This simple, vintage-inspired thank you card is made quickly and easily thanks to the gorgeous DSP and awesome washi tape. The sheet music DSP is crumpled, smoothed out and distressed with Soft Suede ink before being adhered to the Crumb Cake card base. I love the extra texture the wrinkles add!
Speaking of texture, isn't that linen-look label fabulous? That's more of the DSP, die-cut using the Stitched Nested Labels dies. It is so realistic, you pretty much have to touch it to see if it is actual linen! Here's a closer look...

Now, how about that pretty flower? Can you believe it is Washi tape?? This stuff is, hands down, my favourite new product. It is so fast and easy to create pretty flowers by just peeling each petal off the roll and sticking it down! If you haven't already gotten your hands on some of this tape, you NEED it. Trust me. The sentiment label is die-cut from Mossy Meadow card stock using the Petal Labels dies...another must-have in my book! I added a little Bird Ballad Trinket and some Braided Linen Trim by way of embellishment. Gotta love simple, but pretty!

For a demonstration of how I put this card together, check out my video...
