Today's card has a 1960's colonial vibe to it . . . very much like the bedroom d?cor that inspired me below.
STAMPIN' PRETTY TIPS:
Wait a minute . . . where did that tiny "friends" sentiment come from? It's a sneak peek at the future Tiny Tags stamp set I was lucky enough to receive at Founder's Circle. It will be available for customer order in the Stampin' Up! Occasions Mini. (Jan. 5, 2010). I promise to share more peeks of this adorable set.
- My card base is 5 1/4" x 5 1/4" which works beautifully with Stampin' Up!'s 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" Whisper White Medium Square Envelopes (107289).
- Stampin' Up!'s Exclusive Tulipe Bigz Die is amazingly versatile. I used just the "top" to create my card's paper design. However, you can use other parts as flourishes or the entire thing. Stunning. What about using the remaining template as a cool stencil? Stay tuned.

WOW Beautiful card. Loved the colors. That BigZ die is way too neat. 😀 Probably with my next order, I can get it.
Great colour combo I wouldn’t have thought of!
So beautiful!! Thanks for sharing all your great ideas!
Ooooh, Mary, I love the colors on your card and love that you used such a pretty inspiration photo to choose them. I love inspiration photos. That Tulipe Bigz Die is a knockout too. Always stunning work from you!
Gorgeous card Mary. I got to be #11 this week, I’m so tickled. Hugs,
Very modern Mary! Neat inspiration piece. Amazing what a great tool a magazine can be. Nice work!
Tres Chic! I think {giggle} my Grandma’s bathroom was done in those colors, complete with an aqua vanity! Love it.
Hah! . . . my grandmother, too. I remember the house with the round pillars in front–modest but definitely going for the colonial flair. Hugs, Mary
Mary, you have such a cool style! Love this card!
Nothing is lost in translation here… perfect movement from sketch to card.
Love the inspiration photo too!
Very Pretty card! I just love to visit your site and get ideas!
