Wonderful World stamp set & coordinating DSP

This is just gorgeous flowery imaged DSP!

I love the way this card turned out.

It is so pretty!

And it is made using some of my favorite colors.

 

I used the #159918-Wonderful World stamp set & coordinating Wonderful Worlds DSP

that is a FREE SALE-a-bration choice with a $100 product order.

 

Notice the pretty stamped flower?

It is all one stamp & I have 2 colors on it.

How did I do that?

• I used my Stampin' Write Markers- Rich Razzleberry & Pear Pizzazz.
• I colored directly onto the red rubber stamp, using the brush tipped (fatter) end.
• I breathed onto the colored stamp to moisten it.
• I stamped it onto Basic White card stock!
  

 Check out the cool scalloped corners on the tag.

I used the #159878- Very Best Trio Punch= $21.00 

How do you do this?

The way to get both corners to be the same is

you have to punch one corner 

& THEN FLIP your card stock over & punch the other corner.
This way they are mirror imaged on the card & both corners look the same.

It is super easy to do!

But check out these tags.

Notice how you can get 2 totally different tags by using the same exact punch!

 

To make the left one I slid both corners into the left side of the punch.

AND to make the right one I slid both corners into the right side of the punch.

AND to make the slit in the center top I used the slit punch that is also on this

Very Best Trio Punch!

Here are the supplies & measurements.

stamp sets:  

• 'Wonderful World'- SAB choice with coordinating DSP= FREE with a $100 product order
• 'Go To Greetings' (words)
  

card stock:

• Rich Razzleberry- 5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 4 1/4"- fold in half for card base
  
• Basic White- 2 x 3 1/4"- punch top corners with Very Best Trio Punch to make tag & stamp stemmed flower onto
  
• Basic White- 1/2 x 2 1/2"- stamp words onto & diagonal cut ends with scissors
