Inspiring Iris Card


In June I held a new catalog Open House for my Stampin' Up friends.  Because of the social distancing rules, I had the party in my front yard, where everyone could sit far enough apart. They enjoyed looking through the new catalog, seeing one another again, playing games and eating snacks together.

Our Make & Take for the day was this pretty card featuring the Inspiring Iris stamp set.  I got the idea from Vicki Burdick and cut them out in different colors for the ladies to make.

The first card that I made had watermelon wonder cardstock for the background, but I felt that it needed just a bit more contrast, so I made the card again using black for the background of the card.  I added a black scallop border around the stamped image and I love how it came out.  The center border is from the Magnolia Memory dies,  I think it adds a nice touch to where the designer paper and white paper meet.  I used the "thanks" from the stamp set and cut it out with the small die in the Stitched So Sweetly die set. 

There are a few Make & Take kits left, so I'm off to do some more stamping!
