CAS Perfect Words

Hello friends!!  I'm here!

I finally feel like I'm getting back to a normal routine which I am thankful for and really needed it after all of the Holiday hoopla!  :)  So what a perfect way to start back into a routine with a CAS design using a stamp set that I haven't used hardly at all after I got it a while back!

I'm referring to the retired Stampin' Up! stamp set called "Perfect Words" which is a hostess set from a previous catalog.  I still hang on to sets that I haven't used that much because I don't know how much I'll use it until after I've at least created a few things with it first.  I certainly like it! :)

Here's the CAS card I've done:

I don't know if any of you do this, but I LOVE looking back over older magazines and catalog to try out different designs and layouts that I didn't get to but wanted...the forgot or ran out of time with something else?! LOL!  Especially during the winter time, I really like to go back through them and find inspiration.  That's where the inspiration came from for this card! :)

I used some seam binding and died it with an ink refill of the same color that my base card is from.  I love this gorgeous color called Peach Parfait..which is also retired.  I paired it with some Pear Pizazz (retired) and some Chocolate Chip which I stamped the sentiment and the heart image from the Punch Potpourri hostess set (also retired) and punched it out with my heart punch.  I did use my new Chevron embossing folder to emboss the two green circles and then I used my paper piercing mat pack to add some piercing to the Chocolate Chip circle.  I also added a neutral button with some linen thread on the heart.

Turned out to be such a fun design to put together! :)

I wanted to add to a couple of challenges:

Crafty Catz - Buttons & Bows
