I needed an All Occasion card that was suitable as a "Thinking of You", "Sympathy", and "Anniversary" card. I thought that this bench from Have a Seat was just the stamp for all these occasions.
I am back to using what I have out of my stash. I must have stashed 3 whole packages of the Elegant Soiree dsp on my shelf. It was time to pull it down and rip it open. I made 16 of these cards and used up 2 sheets out of the package. If you add a little dsp here and there it can go a LONG way.
I tried out a couple different ribbons on my cards. I really like the Crumb Cake Taffeta Ribbon for the sympathy card and the Baja Breeze Seam Binding for the Anniversary card. I thought the Anniversary card should be a little more dressed up.
I also dressed up the bench with a litte cardstock flower. My flower was made using a retired punch, (flower trio or something like that) only because (confession time) my table was such a mess that I couldn't find my little flower punch from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack. Looking in my catalog, I could have used the one of the flowers from the Boho Blossoms Punch too.
To make your flower: Punch it, Crunch it, and Poke it! Ta-dah!
I added a metallic brad to the center of mine. :)
If I were to make this card using current SU! dsp, I would probably use the Letters to Santa dsp on page 186 of the Idea Book & Catalog. I love the plaid. It could make a little more masculine card.
