WHAT'S COOKIN'?


I needed to make a birthday card last week.  I tried and tried to talk myself into using a stamp set that might be a little more perfect for the occasion, but I couldn't resist using some of my newest products.  And maybe the most important thing is to receive a card in the mail, regardless of whether it has a whisk and cutting board on it.


I really liked the card and wish the photos had turned out better!  The card has its fair share of texture, dimension, and bling and features the following Stampin' Up! products:

Cardstock:  White, Coastal Cabana, Crumb Cake, Soft Sea Foam

DSP/Specialty:  Red Velvet, Bloom Where You're Planted

Stamp Sets:  What's Cookin', Stitchery

Ink:  Crumb Cake, Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana

Sizzix:  Cookin' dies

Accessories:  Linen Thread, Stampin' Dimensionals

It's hard to tell from the photo, but the little red heart was punched from Red Velvet paper, and I thought it was a sweet finishing touch.  

As for the What's Cookin' bundle . . . it's been on my wish list since I first saw it, but I just wasn't sure that I'd use it very much.  When Stampin' Up! discounted the cling mount stamps recently, I took that to mean that fate was giving me a nudge, so I also purchased the dies and threw in the Stitchery stamp set for good measure.  

So what do you think?  Would you have sent this as a birthday card?
