Friends 24/7 - Vintage Style

Can you believe Thanksgiving is tomorrow? WOW. Time flies. December is especially busy for me because we have two birthdays in the family to celebrate in addition to Christmas. It's all good!

I wanted to share a Stampin Up Friends 24-7 vintage style card with you today. I love this stamp set. I paired it up with the En Francais background stamp. I think they complement each other nicely.

I've seen a lot of ribbon ruffling on cards lately and wanted to give it a try. How easy! Just grab some Stampin' Up! Sticky Strip and cut a piece long enough to cover the area you want your ribbon to cover. Peel one side off and stick to your paper. Peel the exposed side and start adding your ribbon making as large or wide a ruffle as you desire. That's it!

En Francais

Bonjour! That is about all the French you'll get out of me other than this card. I couldn't translate the verbiage on this gorgeous Stampin' Up! background stamp En Francais, but I sure love to use it. En Francais is one classy stamp. I love the flow of the writing on it.

So what do you think of my colors? They were totally out of my comfort zone thanks to the new Stampin' Up! Color Coach. My mind is being stretched beyond belief. If you struggle with color combinations or tend to choose the same colors quite often (like me), this tool is for you.

I started with the Soft Suede solid color side of the Color Coach. On the flip side, it provides with a "Creative Combination" and a "Sweet Set" combination. I used the "Sweet Set" combo - Soft Suede, Baja Breeze (card base), and Cherry Cobbler (bird). I never would have put all those colors together without the Color Coach & I love the results it provided.

All the Stampin Up! supplies used for this creation can be found at the bottom of the post. Any questions? Don't hesitate to e-mail me. I'd love to hear from you!

Enjoy your day & happy stamping!
