Ribbon Inspiration/Stamp Simply Style--Kaisercraft!

It is Saturday, and time for Ribbon Inspiration/Stamp Simply Style! We're focusing on Kaisercraft products today...you can view the Kaisercraft pages at The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store HERE.

I've chosen paper from Kaisercraft's "Blae and Ivy" 6.5 inch by 6.5 inch pad for today's project. This is one fun pad...many attractive prints in blue and green, along with Kaisercraft's typical addition of borders and tags.







JustRite's new "Going Places Vintage Labels," (available HERE at The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store) make for an old-timey card suitable for Father's Day or any other masculine celebration. Take a look at the fun sentiments and other image included in it:





And, how to make it sweeter? New JustRite "Vintage Label and Banner Dies" that match this and other new sets, available at The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store:



I love having stamp set/die combos...they really add a crisp, clean addition to your design.

Copper brads and a "frame" of May Art's natural Burlap String finish this manly design.

All linked supplies are from The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.

And, once again, Ribbon Inspiration/Stamp Simply Style is offering up a delicious helping of blog candy:




This is one gorgeous, versatile set!
