Today I’m sharing the swaps Tutti-Frutti Panda cards I have made for tomorrows Team Training Event organised by my lovely Upline Mikaela Titheridge.
wanted to use the absolutely lovely Tutti-Frutti Cards & Envelopes which are one of the free choices with a £45 order in the 2018 Sale-a-Bration brochure. These are so easy to overlook in amongst the more glamourous stamp sets, dsp and dies but they really are lovely, beautiful colours and so versatile. I wanted the pretty card fronts to be seen so looked for a fairly small image for my cards.
I settled on the quirky Party Pandas stamp set which is also a free choice from the 2018 Sale-a-Bration brochure. I stamped the sweet panda with the balloon in the lower left corner of a panel of Whisper White cardstock 4” by 2½”. I used Archival Basic Black ink and found I had better results using a stamp positioner such as a Stamparatus with a really well inked pad. I didn’t bother to ink up the balloon as I planned to cover it with dsp balloons. I added the sentiment from the same set in a co-ordinating Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral or Lemon Lime Twist ink.
I rounded the upper right corner of the Whisper White cardstock panel using the retired Project life Corner Rounder and added a piece of 3¼” by 1¾” cardstock in either Bermuda Bay, Calypso Coral or Lemon Lime Twist behind the lower right corner and added the whole piece to one of the Tutti-Frutti card bases.
I punched a selection of large and small balloons from the Bubble & Fizz dsp pack, another free 2018 Sale-a-Bration choice with a £45 order, using the Balloon Bouquet Punch. The smaller balloons were added to the card front with Tombow Liquid Adhesive. The larger balloon was added on Stampin’ Dimensionals. Such a cute card and I love that all the items used with the exception of the ink pads were free!!!!
