I LOVE this Toucan stamp. It's from the Little Buddy Birthday stamp set. There's a dinosaur and an ardvarck in the set too. This was the third card we did for the Back to Black class featuring the Back to Black designer paper. I used the Word Bubbles to cut the words out — doesn't it look like the Toucan could be saying "Make a Wish, Friend".
Back to Black Specialty Card
This is another card from my Back to Black Class — each guest received a package of the Back to Black Designer Paper and a roll of 1/4" White Cotton Ribbon and we made four cards. This card doesn't use any of the ribbon but has kind of a cool technique. Remember, this paper is Black & White — hmmmm…..we used markers to color in the white parts of the paper. Pretty cool, huh!!! The girls loved this one. It was a little more time consuming but the results are wonderful.
And don't forget there's only 2 more days to get in on the Designer Paper Sale — Buy 3 packages and Get 1 FREE!!! Sale ends Thursday, July 31st.
Floral Awesomeness
Awesomeness — is that really a word. This is one of the cards we did at my Back to Black Class last night. The base of this card is Strawberry Slush. I added a layer of Basic Black and then adhered the Back to Black Designer Series Paper to the black layer. I cut out three black flowers using the Flower Fair Thinlits. The larger flower is stamped with Strawberry Slush ink and cut out with the Flower Fair Thinlits. I added Rhinestones to the center for a little bling.
