I made this Blue Ribbon Birthday Card for a friend. I really like the way it turned out. I will miss the Sunshine and Sprinkles Designer Series Paper when it retires next Thursday, May 30th. Most of the items in the Spring 2013 Catalog will not be carried over. So…… if there is anything you want or need more of you should get them now.
The Retiring Accessories (everything that is not a flat stamp) are available only while supplies last. There are even some discounted items still available. Retiring Stamps are available until June 3rd.
On a happier note, we can start ordering from the NEW 2013-2014 Catalog on Friday, May 31st. I will be having a Play Date that afternoon. We will be making one card using supplies from the NEW Catalog and then we will work on our own projects. I will be placing orders that day for all those who want to be among the first to place an order from the NEW Catalog.
Well, back to the Blue Ribbon Birthday Card. I do love the bright colors. You can choose your Designer Series Paper and then use coordinating colors (listed in the catalog and on the package) to make a wonderful card. You can get a variety of looks just by using different patterned paper, different ink colors, embellishments, and ribbon. Have fun making your own version of this card!
