Hats Off To You Birthday Card

I felt inspired after the Card Buffet on Saturday and got right to work on some more designs for my November Card Buffet. I'm trying to use up some older paper so I designed something using the argyle pattern from the old Cruisin' paper. For some reason, I have a ton of this paper! I used the Hats Off (C1593) stamp set which is only available as a hostess reward. You can purchase it for $8 with any order -- combined or just your own -- of $150 or more. I always have a difficult time coming up with masculine themed cards so I was very happy to see this stamp set in the catalog (page 8).

 I used my Art Philosophy cartridge to cut out the tags and some hemp to tie the tags together. I also used my new Arrows Embossing Folder.

 Since the front of the card had a few layers with the tags and all, it got a little "top heavy," so I added paper to the inside of the card as well. It's difficult to tell from the picture above but there is a gray sheet of cardstock under the argyle and brown.

This is just another view of the card.

This will be one of the many cards you can choose to make at my Card Buffet on November 15th!

Cut Above Holiday Card Kit

My first Card Buffet was this past Saturday and it was a lot of fun! I also set out Close To My Heart's Cut Above Card Kits, which I've had for awhile but did not have a chance to play with. My oh my, they are cute! I especially liked the Cut Above Holiday Card Kit pictured here. I had no idea that the envelope had that cute little bird on the back flap! What a great way to get some quick cards made.

The Card Buffet got my creative juices flowing and I've already started planning for the next one (November 15th)! Stay tuned for some examples that I've been working on.
