Happy Friday everyone! Just a quick post to share a card we made in the Canopy Club on Tuesday night. It features the gorgeous new designer paper--Paisley Petals--which is a sneak peek from the 2011-2012 Idea Book & Catalog being released July 1st. This paper is just beautiful--it looks like tapestry and the colors are so rich and elegant.
To make it look even more like fabric, I adhered a generous piece to Not Quite Navy cardstock and ran both layers through the Square Lattice embossing folder. Isn't that a cool effect? It really adds so much texture and volume to an otherwise clean and simple card.
Another sneak peek is this darling label from the Four Frames set that coordinates perfectly with the Decorative Label punch--love that! Here, I stamped it in NQN onto Naturals Ivory cardstock and added a sentiment built from the Fabulous Phrases collection of words. This really is a great set to have in your arsenal--single words that can work together to build sentiments for every occasion and person--check it out, pg. 149!
Ribbon Share final UPDATE: Ribbon shares were mailed out to participants this morning, woohoo! So glad to get those in the mail! Thank you to everyone who participated. I know you will enjoy your ribbon and have a great time creating with it! Stay tuned for more opportunites to "share".
That's all for me today, friends. We're planning some quality family time this weekend and I am taking a short vacation from the Paper Players design team so I look forward to chatting with you next week!

Love it Nance. I adore this technique and those Four Frames....I just have been going to them over & over again!
