Stamping can be dangerous...lol!!! I have many of my SU sets stacked on top of each other so pulling one from the bottom of a vary high stack causes some to fall. I had to move out of the way fast or get hit in the head with chunks of wood. Not good.
Do you remember this Stampin Up set? It is called Sassy Stems and this particular flower was NEVER inked in the set. I KNOW!!!! I thought I would use it today to go with some of these wonderful basicgray lemonade patterns. I decided to call this Sassy Friends because of this set name.
The rectangle shape piece with the sentiment on it is a small file folder punch not folded. I have not used that thing in forever. I created the mat for it by punching another in black and cutting a part. With a strategically placed sentiment you do not see the gap in the cutting. Love that.
I also used the flat embossing with the swirl cuttlebug embossing folder. My flat embossing idea can be seen here.
Only one more card to go then I will blog them all. Whew!!!

Betty, this is gorgeous! I had to laugh at your commentary above...talking about an old stamp set that you'd never inked up before today...glad to know I'm not alone. Haha! But good for you for using it...and inspiring us to do the same! Thanks for another beauty...love your work!
