One big stamp for the background, a greeting, and some a little extra bit of stamping for grunge.  We used the Decorative Label Punch to get the top edge of the banner.  Add a bit of Chevron ribbon.  Designer Series Paper peeks through the Chevron Punches.  Then we lined up the punched pieces to decorate the inside.

I’m not sure the White Washing technique shows up in this photo, but it helps to bring out the poppies in real life.  I have been trying various ways to use every bit of paper and this was one of those. I cut out both the Daffodil Delight and Baked Brown Sugar layers at the same time.  Punch the Oval for the greeting from the center of the Daffodil Delight layer, then divide the rest in fourths to spread out for the border.  Add a tiny bit of ribbon.  The background is embossed like a watermark.  The focal layer is embossed with White Embossing Powder, painted with White Craft ink, then when dry, painted again with the colored ink.

We made these at our large “Upline” gathering and I thought I’d share with my customers.  It’s so simple, yet so fun.  It would be great for baby shower favors, a neighbor gift, or even wrapping for a birthday present.  The Tag a Bag kit makes it so quick and easy!  You can just use the tag to write a name or greeting.  We added a punched butterfly with Candy Dots.

No Big Shot is needed, but Step It Up even more and cut out the Bitty Banner,

This card uses both masking and reverse masking.  We used the Floral Frames Framelit with the coordinating Daydream Medallions.  Then we added sparkle and glitz.  We also added the Simply Pressed Clay flowers.  I think it makes an elegant wedding card, but it can be used for a lot of different events.
