Before I forget, I learned something new today...NBUS, do you know what that means? Well I had no clue and have seen Darnell use it several times, even in commenting. I was in the dark or late to the party, not sure which but Darnell was sweet enough to "splane Lucy". It means Never Before Used Schtuff...very clever and a quick and easy way to say what you are using is new...another one of her "Darnellisims".
Thank you so much for stopping by to peek at my card...have a great week!

Kim what a perfect way to combine the two stamp sets. Love the gingham!
ReplyDeleteYour gingham paper is awesome, and the perfect backdrop to this fabulous card. Love how you used that 1776 set-- those fireworks are the real star of the show.
ReplyDeleteYour fireworks look wonderful framed in your red and white dotted label Kim!

ReplyDeleteand I don't know what it's like out their in your neck of the woods but gingham is a summer staple!
OK...it's everywhere in the South...I think it's like a rule or something...

And is so perfect for this little gem...

Love the sweet gingham with your stamps for a great Americana card.
ReplyDeleteHow funny, I have never heard of that expression either! I sure do love your card Kim, that gingham is gorgeous and I love the fireworks
ReplyDeleteLove the gingham ,I almost started over too but didn't have the time! Love learning something new. I think my embossing powered has NBUB ...it's called Stampendous Stamp n Stuff Kaleidoscope. I wish I would have bought both sets , e cause this is adorable ,Kim!
ReplyDeleteLove how you framed your fireworks and your charming gingham border!! Beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteFabulously festive...and the blue gingham rocks! Love the fireworks stamp and the perfectly executed knot!
ReplyDeleteYou mentioned that you printed out the gingham paper. I am definitely going to check out Pink Petticoat. I am quite a dunce when it comes to anything digital, so hopefully they have easy peasy instructions for technologically challenged folk like me :)
Oh very nice :)I love the ribbon and the gingham :) Very nice colours !

ReplyDeleteGorgeous gingham, Kim, especially paired with the polka dot frame for those gloriously festive fireworks ... just lovely! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Kim! You captured lots about summer - the gingham reminds me of picnics, the fireworks, and yes! those primary colors!
