I’m diggin’ this Groovy Kind of Love Card. How about you? I came up with a retro color palette of Very Vanilla, Petal Pink, Early Espresso and Coastal Cabana and used the Stampin’ Up! Patchwork Pieces Dies (you WANT these) and my mighty Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to cut the pieces. Don’t miss that each wavy section has darling die cut “stitching” that fit perfectly together.
SNEAK PEEK! You are also getting a peek of the Stampin’ Up! Rainbow Adhesive Backed Dots (Petal Pink) that will be available for purchase Jan. 4 when the Spring Mini begins! Add them to your wish list. The colors are”fresh for spring” in Balmy Blue, Petal Pink, Fresh Freesia, Bubble Bath, Pool Party, Flirty Flamingo, Lemon Lolly, Azure Afternoon

2 Minute Technique Tip: I cut vellum card stock to 4 x 5 1/4 and will use it as a very classy protective layer for covering the front when mailing. Thank you Cathy Schroeckenthaler (a member of my Stampin’ Pretty Pals) for sending me a hand stamped birthday card with a vellum layer that got my wheels turning.
