Black,white and red

I really like this colour combo - last year I even made Christmas cards in it!! These are birthday cards and use a combination of Stampin' Up and stash goodies.


Card #1:

The black and white strip is actually the "selvedge" from a piece of DSP from my stash.  I thought it was too pretty to throw away. The paper was sporting themed - go figure!!


Supplies:
Paper - whisper white, basic black and poppy parade c/s, strip of DSP from stash
Stamp - "under the big top" (ret)
Ink - basic black ink pad
Tools - large heart punch, retired punch
Other - gingham ribbon from stash
Adhesive - snail, sticky strip, dimensionals

Card #2:

This is a 21st card - suitable for male or female.  I fussy cut the number from the DSP and stuck it on the scallop circle with a glue dot. This was then popped up over the ribbon.


Supplies:
Paper - whisper white and basic black c/s, DSP from stash
Stamp - "bring on the cake"
Ink - basic black ink pad
Tools - 3.2cm scallop circle punch (seasonal catalogue)
Other - red gingham ribbon from stash
Adhesive - snail, sticky strip, dimensionals, glue dot

Busy crafting away for my December events. Hope you are all having crafting fun too.

Happy crafting!
