More is More

Happy Friday!  It’s time for Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge (cupcakes not required).  Get all the details on Taylor’s blog by clicking here.  Come play along and you might win a prize or even be chosen to be Taylor’s Featured Stamper.

As you know, I’ve been sorting and cleaning out my stamps and clearing out lots of my old sets.  One of my original favorite styles when I started stamping was bold images and I have a few I just can’t let go of despite the fact that I rarely use them anymore.  This card seemed perfect to utilize some of them

I had combined two coordinating sets in one box so I’m not certain, but I think this set was called Framed Fun.  To continue the retro look I used some long time retired SU one-sided designer paper.  I still love the Pink Passion/Pumpkin Pie combo.  The images were stamped on Whisper White cardstock and purposely punched (1 1/4″ circle) off center and then layered onto 1 3/8″ pumpkin pie circles.

The sentiment from Dreams du Jour was stamped in Black Craft ink on vellum and heat embossed with irridescent ice embossing powder.  Some grosgrain ribbon and random rhinestones (pink, orange, clear from Kaiser Craft, K&Co. and Taylor’s Tiny Twinkles) finish off this 5 1/4″ square card.

Time for some blog hopping to see what the rest of the Cupcake Crew has cooked up:
