Friends Never Fade Meets Perfect Punches

I am really liking the color combination in the card. Cajun Craze was not my favorite color but when you get the right colors to use with it, it really works well. The Greenhouse Gala Designer Series Paper has such a wide variety of colors and patterns, it can be used so many different ways, and the Friends Never Fade stamp set is one of my favorites.

Friends Never Fade--Sneak Peak

Here is another post using one of the countless new stamp sets Stampin' Up! is featuring in the 2010-2011 Idea Book and Catalog which will be availble tomorrow. This set is called Friends Never Fade. It is a set of four images for $13.95 (clear mount) or 17.95 (wood mount). The decorative paper includes some of the new colors--Pear Pizzazz, Daffodil Delight, and Baja Breeze. To make this card, you will cut card stock using the following dimensions: Pear Pizzazz (5 1/4" by 4 1/4") Whisper White (4" by 10 1/2"--fold in half and then fold the front back to meet the first fold line), Chocolate Chip (2 3/8" by 3 3/4") Greenhouse Gala DSP (2 1/8" by 3 1/2") Pumpkin Pie (1 7/8" by 3") Whisper White (2" by 2 1/2"--stamp the image and then trim around the border). The vertical lines on the right side of the card are just pieces of card stock cut 1/2" by 4". This fold can be used with so many different stamp sets. Stop back tomorrow to see the new catalog! Enjoy.
