Can someone tell me how June has passed so quickly? That's how summer always is, I guess, over before it even began! At least we had a great June, birthdays, baseball, sunshine, swimming, s'mores...a great month! Looking forward to a great July too! I have one more Mint Motif card to share today. I had this idea for a number background for a while now and finally executed it. I just started stamping the large numbers from I've Got Your Number on the patterned paper, fitting things together as I went along. I really like how it turned out and would like to do a version with different colors on a white background. Then I just had to use my new-ish Nested Pennants dies, which are on sale at i {heart} papers right now! I die cut the small banner pieces from some more School Spirit patterned paper, which is full of really great "boy" prints. I added tiny punched stars and another banner turned sideways along the bottom for the sentiment.
Supplies: Stamps - I've Got Your Number, What a Card (Mint Motif); Ink - Tuxedo Black (Memento), Oceean Tides (PTI); Cardstock - Dark Chocolate (PTI); Patterned Paper - School Spirit (Crate Paper); Other - Pennant Dies (Spellbinders), Buttons, Star Punch (Fiskars), Circle Punch (EK Success), Twine (Divine Twine)
Thanks for visiting! Have a fabulous 4th of July!!! Don't forget I have a bunch of Papertrey ribbon for sale...make me an offer:)!!
Very cute, Geny! Love your use of the Spellbinder dies!! :)

Oh Geny - this background paper is wonderful and really works so well for a great birthday card. I'm going to have to remember this and break out this set for my next birthday card! Thanks for the inspiration.
