Marilyn made this pretty card for our Team swap. She used the Gather Together bundle in the 2020 Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog. There are two really neat tricks you might not notice at first glance.
Can you see the changes in colors on the textured leaves? The bottom three leaves were die-cut & embossed (done all at once!) and then spritzed with water. The water changes the color on the leaves! I cannot believe it's just water and no ink to get this effect. Super cool!!
Next is the greeting shape. It's made with the Label me Lovely punch. You can get multiple shapes from this punch. Here's how:
Punch one piece out.
Add a bit of adhesive to the end of a thin piece of card stock and adhere it to the punched piece.
Insert the piece back into your punch and adjust it to get whatever size shape you want!
I also used the Brights & In Color designer paper for the balloons and the Rainbow Glimmer paper for the pennant die-cut & bitty stars. They had a choice of Magenta Madness, Granny Apple Green or Coastal Cabana for their card. That cute White greeting die is from the Hippo & Friends dies.
The dies in this bundle especially caught my eye; I think they're super versatile! I just love the window the 'Happy' die creates! Click here to see it.
Mary's card is almost the opposite of Tracey's; clean and simple where the Gilded Autumn Specialty designer paper is the star of the Mint Macaron card. Her greeting is also from the Beautiful Autumn set as well as the stamped & punched leaves. She used the Stitched Rectangle dies for the DSP and the greeting.
