My card today uses some new goodies from the Celebrate the Everyday mini catalog. I love the colors in the Fresh Prints designer paper! And I thought this stamp from the Perfect Pennants set could be used for a lot of different occasions.

Card details:

• Card base is Real Red
• Layer of Coastal Cabana adhered to card
• Layer of Whisper White that was run through the Big Shot with the Decorative Dots embossing folder then adhered to card
• Punch a circle from Real Red and from the Fresh Prints designer paper using the 2 1/2" circle punch
• Cut the Fresh Prints circle in half and adhere one of the halves to the Real Red circle
• Use the Essentials paper piercing pack to pierce on the Real Red half the adhere to card with dimensionals
• Stamp the 'you and me' image from Perfect Pennants set using Crumb Cake and Real Red markers onto Whisper White and punch out with the 1 3/4" circle punch then adhere to other circle with dimensionals
