Little Leaves Vase

I hope you all enjoyed your Father's Day weekend. I am still stuffed from both gatherings that we attended on Sunday!

Today's card is another one shared at our meeting. It was CASE'd from a website developed especially for SU Demonstrators, and was created by Bev Victory. CASE is the acronym used quite often by demonstrators for Copy And Share Everything.

That's the glory of Stampin' Up! we love to share everything!

The base of this card is Kraft Cardstock, then a layer of Chocolate Chip with one edge scalloped with the Eyelet Border Punch. The leaves were cut from Kiwi Kiss (soon to be retired) and Old Olive Cardstock using the Big Shot and the Little Leaves Sizzlits Die. When adding the leaves, I alternated the two colors of green, and didn't glue all of the leaves down, to create some dimension. The flowers were punched from So Saffron Cardstock with the Trio Flower Punch. I added a Silver Brad to each of the centers before adhering them to the card. The vase for the flowers is the Wide Oval Punch with the bottom trimmed off, the top trimmed at an angle, and the edges sponged with Chocolate Chip Classic Ink. The sentiment is from the stamp set On Your Birthday. It's stamped with Chocolate Chip on Old Olive Cardstock and punched out with the Word Window Punch.

Be sure to check out the Country Living Summer Cookout Kit for some really cute summer entertaining decorating ideas. Also, there are only a few more days to order any of the items on the Last Chance Lists. If there are stamps sets or accessories on your wish list that are on those lists, be sure to order them now, before they are gone for good!

Thanks for stopping by, have a fabulous week!
