Bon Voyage Pretty Amazing!

I have really enjoyed this set over the last two years, so I'm sure you will enjoy it too. For $22.95, you receive 6 stamps including the hummingbird, butterfly, mum, stem and leaves, daisies and Amazing sentiment.

First, I created a card of the Pretty Amazing images with the Bella Rose designer series paper for a sweet look. The card is a gatefold design, but I made the front into a regular layer for variety. On Tuesday, I will show you the decorated inside of the card which will let you see that there really is a gatefold underneath it all. I stamped directly on the designer series paper for the main image.

Supplies:
Card stock/Paper: Whisper White, Ridinghood Red and Bella Rose Designer Series Paper
Stamps: Pretty Amazing & Very Versatile (from 2009 Occasions Mini-also available for a limited time)
Inks: Kiwi Kiss, Ridinghood Red, Pretty in Pink Marker
Embellishments: Whisper White Organza ribbon
Tools: Small and Large Oval punches

Next up is this "Out Box" for storing cards on your desk or table until they can be addressed or mailed or both. The front is embellished with a sheet of designer series paper from the Razzleberry Lemonade designer series paper that will be available in July, and also has flowers stamped in the new Crushed Curry classic ink.

Supplies:
Card stock/Paper: Whisper White, Old Olive, Razzleberry Lemonade dsp
Stamps: Pretty Amazing
Inks: Only Orange, Old Olive, Crushed Curry
Embellishments: Dimensionals, mini glue dot
Tools: Big Shot Top Note Die

Last is a display of three cards (you could gift inside the Out Box) on which I used the Rock N Roll technique on the mum's petal edges. I also used the new in colors with the Pretty Amazing set as well as three sentiments from the upcoming Teeny Tiny Wishes Set. The set can also make lovely backgrounds with either colors or Versamark ink.

Supplies:
Card stock/Paper: Whisper White, Old Olive, Not Quite Navy, Crushed Curry, Rich Razzleberry, Melon Mambo, Dusty Durango
Stamps: Pretty Amazing, Teeny Tiny Wishes
