“To A Friend That Makes Me Smile!”Ā What an uplifting sentiment! It’s Friday, and time to play at Festive Friday – Home of the Inspo List!
For this weekās challenge, we are inspired by International Dance Day. Remember, at Festive Friday you do not need to actually celebrate or make a card for the occasion featured. Your goal is to simply use three or more items from the inspiration list on your project. I used blue, pink, rhinestones, patterned paper, die cuts, vellum and embossing folders to create my card. I canāt wait to see what YOU create!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips
I couldn’t resist the urge to play with new products from the upcoming Annual Catalog. I am a pushover for pretty paper, so I felt this challenge was the perfect one for showcasing the Sun Prints designer series paper collection.Ā I went to one of my tried and true layouts to show off two of the prints. Today’s card also shows off the new Fern 3D embossing folder, as well as the new In Color, Starry Sky.Ā If you look closely, you can see the fern embossing on the vellum circle, as well as the banner.Ā Sadly, the photo does not show off the subtle shimmer and pattern on the Blushing Bride fern die cut, which was created from the Brushstroke specialty paper.
