This week’s FMS251 was a great template for a number of card ideas I’ve been contemplating. So I ended up with 2 entries this week. First up, this one using the new Badges & Banners stamp set with the matching Best Badge punch (it comes in a bundle so you save 10%). I started out with my usual bright colors but it just didn’t look right, so I switched to early fall colors. I wanted a card to just say hello.

I added Olive Olive under the Into the Woods dots DSP to make it stand out a little more. The Into the Woods DSP is retired, but the Badges & Banners stamp set is a new set in the annual Stampin’ Up! catalog. I did sneak in my usual pop of color with a Tempting Turquoise bird in the cage.
