Be Cool with the New Sunburst Stripe Circle and the Sweet Seal by Jean Okimoto

 

The new Sunburst Stripe Circle sets a summer scene for the Sweet Seal and offcuts of the Wave Ribbon Collage.  Hello, Jean Okimoto here with a friendship card I’ve created for you today.  

Cut Sunburst Stripe Circle from yellow cardstock.  Trim it with the 2-¼” Rectangle Basics die. 

Cut   Sweet Seal from gray cardstock.  Attach a scrap of black cardstock behind his face.

Cut Wave Ribbon Collage – we’ll just use the offcuts here today.  Attach the offcuts – staggered and in wonky order –  to an A-2 card of textured white cardstock.  The top two offcuts are from the top and bottom of the die.  Their straight edges are partially concealed by the seal.  

Stamp the greeting – from the Wirework Hearts Clear Stamp Set – on smooth white cardstock – with Summertime VersaFineClair.  Love that great orange!  Trim the greeting with the smallest Rectangle Basics die.  Attach it with foam dots.

Attach the sun and seal to the card – then add some orange gem stickers.

If you’re in the Seattle area (or nearby!)  – save Saturday the 18th for the Impress Holiday Kick-Off.  Great displays, the latest holiday products, inspiring samples – and a Birch Press Design trunk show too!  The first 25 people at each store receive an Impress  goodie bag – and everyone gets a 10% shopping discount.  Make a Memory Box/Poppystamps/Birch Press Designs  wistlist and bring it with you!

Join us for my the first Birch Press Design class at 1:00 pm on the 18th (a new time) too.  Make 6 cards – 3 for the holidays and 3 for any occasion –  using the latest and greatest dies and stamps from Birch Press,  and beautiful artpapers from Shizen Design.  Birch Press steel dies – like those from Memory Box and Poppystamps – are original designs by Dave Brethauer and they’re made in the USA.  

Thanks for visiting.  See you again on Saturday – here on Outside the Box – or at Impress in Tukwila, WA.
