Varied Vases Cards and the New In Colors

Here is a trio of cards featuring the new Varied Vases stamp set and 2018-2010 In Colors.  The new In Colors are bright and cheerful and serve as a great backdrop for these cute flowers.  The images on these cards are only a few of the many images in this versatile set.  Even better, it's photopolymer so that placement of the images is so easy.  Although not featured here, there is also a coordinating punch for this set.   

You can make these cards at my New Catalog Open House on June 10th--stop by between 9 am and 1 pm.   Plus, you can pick up your new catalog, shop the retired stamp sale and enjoy refreshments.  Please RSVP here.

Here are photos, tips and the recipe for each card.  The cards were made using whisper white notecards and all images are from the Varied Vases stamp set.  A complete list of supplies is provided at the end of this post.
