I have another entry into the NBUS (Never Before Used Stuff) Challenge hosted by Darnell. In my last PTI order I received a new stamp set called “Hey, Stacks.” It’s a great set with lots of options for sentiments and a variety of stripes of different weights. The MISTI came in really handy again in order to get vibrant colors for the stripes. Lining up the lines and sentiments wasn’t as hard as I originally thought. I drew two light pencil lines and was able to line everything up pretty effectively. I’m thinking I’ll find lots of uses for the set.
I chose orange, navy, and a lime green color combination which seemed like good party colors. As I often do, I die cut the focal panel as well as the navy panel with a stitched rectangle die from Simon Says. This was actually my second card. I had some black ink on my hands when I stamped the sentiment the first time and got a smudge on the card. I solved that problem by cutting the smeared section off, and ended up with this:
I don’t like it quite as much, but I was happy to salvage it. Both cards could easily be sent to either a man or a woman, though both of these are off to guys!
I could easily enter the NBUS challenge. I have much too big of a stash of never used supplies. Working on trying out some😊. I like the first card also. Enjoy your wedding in Boston wedding!💒🔔
I am still so intrigued by those stitch lines! I like the colours on the cards. Great save!
I think they both look great & really like the colors!
Ditto! Two bright,” inviting” cards. That’s a great challenge idea…I could do something every day and never make a dent, I think. Time to “Kon dori”.
Enjoy your trip to Boston.
Cheers~
Oh – I like them both! And they are great colours for blokes. I’m not a card maker but I have LOADS of NBUS – and I know how fulfilling it can be to get it out and into the light of day!
I keep seeing this set in Blogland and I think your great party card has tipped the scales in favor of purchasing it! Thanks a lot, Karen, lol! You did chose fabulous party colors and you made a brilliant save of your schmeared one!! Thank you for playing again in my NBUS Challenge #12! Hugs, Darnell
so so cool! I love them both!!
