One of the trends emerging in Stampin’ Up!’s new annual catalogue, is BAG greetings (aka. big a$$ greetings – thanks Janet Wakeland for that term! :). What I love about big greetings is that the font is the focal point of the card. This is a great way to make a simple card that highlights what you really want to say. Take this card for example:
The greeting in Lovely Friends does all of the work in the card!
I added the chevron from the stamp set Work of Art. In order to create the ombre effect, I stamped the chevron 3 times, but didn’t reink in between. This gave me 3 shades of the Lemon Lime Twist ink.
The Lovely Laurel thinlits coordinate with this set. You can see on this card that I used the thinlits to cut out the flower:
But the flower is not what these thinlits are best known for. Check out how the thinlits create a pop up effect in the card:
I’m a BIG fan of BIG greetings! My next wish list item is the Great Big Greetings stamp set!
