Tart & Tangy Kit

A couple of weeks ago I mentioned my Stamps in the Mail stamp camp that I am going to be offering in July. This weekend I sat down and finalized the projects that will be included in the kit. Now I'm working on a flyer to e-mail out to all of my customers and stamp campers! In the meantime, I'll show pics of all of the projects here on my blog!

The kit will feature the Tart & Tangy stamp set as well as the Summer Picnic patterned paper (both currently available in the Occasions Mini Catalog). This is the first of 5 different card designs that are included in the kit - the kit will include all of the materials necessary to make 2 cards of each of the 5 designs for a total of 10 cards and envelopes!

The main image is the cherry from the Tart & Tangy stamp set inked with Real Red and Old Olive Stampin' Write Markers. Its stamped on to an oval of Whisper White that was cut out with a Coluzzle. The greeting is from the Absolutely Fabulous stamp set - its stamped in Bashful Blue. For the background, I selected the coordinating cherry design. The reverse side of the cherries is the polka dotted pattern. So I layered one side on to the Real Red cardstock mat for the top of the background and then I layered the reverse side below it. The Real Red grosgrain ribbon covers the "seam" of the patterned paper. Next, I mounted the Whisper White oval on to the card front with dimensionals. To really tie in the Bashful Blue greeting and the Bashful Blue from the patterned paper, I added 2 Bashful Blue brads in the bottom right corner of the card front. I finished assembling the card by mounting the Real Red cardstock on to the cardfront!

Stay tuned this week for more pics of the Tart & Tangy Kit!!
