The Actual Card

Here is the card that I actually used for the shoe box swap.
I didn’t put a sentiment on the card because I wanted to leave it open in case I needed something specific. The card that I had as my sample at the swap had used the "Friend" stamp from this set.

Recipe:
Stamp Set: Friendly Flowers, Clear Stamp Flourish
Paper: Kraft, Not Quite Navy, Mellow Moss, Pumpkin Pie, Naturals Ivory card stock
Ink: Not Quite Navy, Mellow Moss, Pumpkin Pie
Accessories/tools: Pumpkin Pie 1/4" grosgrain ribbon, Gold Brad, Dimensionals, 1/16" hole punch, Rectangle Punch (or double rectangle), ½", 1 1/4" and 1 3/8" circle punch, Scalloped Punch

A couple of tips to pass along:
* Layer card stock strips together and punch rectangle holes through all layers for ribbon before attaching to card base. (Use lots of force with punch, it works but it’s hard.) Or, if you prefer, go through Pumpkin Pie and Mellow Moss cardstock and attach ribbon before layering on to Not Quite Navy strip.
* Stamp main image a second time in Pumpkin Pie ink and punch out center with 1/2" circle punch. Layer all (scalloped, mellow moss, not quite navy and pumpkin pie), punch hole with 1/16" hole punch, and attach together with brad. Then attach to card with dimensionals.
