It seems that many of the Control Freak swappers have already received their swaps so I think I am safe posting this. I don't usually say this about my own cards but "I love this card". lol It took longer to make than I had anticipated, but I am thrilled with the results.
Game Night is a brand new stamp set available from Stampin' Up! today! I used it along with Jackpot Designer Series paper to create this card.
I started out using the 1 3/8" square punch and the Jackpot DSP. I adhered these squares to a piece of Basic Black cardstock. I then used the amazing Top Note Die with the Big Shot. Do you ever wonder what you did before you had the Top Note Die? The Chess piece and the dice were both stamped in Versamark and then embossed with clear embossing powder.
The rest of the card is pretty straight forward. I used Basic Black and So Saffron Cardstock along with Real Red Textured Cardstock. The ribbon is Real Red Wide Grosgrain and Black Gingham, both from Stampin' Up! Punches include the Wide Oval, Large Oval, Small Oval and Designer Label Punch. The saying comes from the Sweet Serendipity stamp set.
I hope my sister Freaks like the card as much as I do! They are such a talented group of ladies. I can't wait to see the swaps I receive this time.
