Give A Little Thanks

Hello Stamping Friends!

Wow, I feel like I haven't had time to stamp a card in a long time, but I finally found my mojo tonight and played along with the Try Stamping On Tuesday folks.  I've really been enjoying their challenges and I encourage you to hop over to their blog and play along.  ;) So, onto my card.  I'd been looking for the right sketch to try out the new stamp set, For All Things and the new DSP 

Color Me Autumn, (both to be released this Thursday, Aug 28 in the Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini Catalog), and I found it today. Added a couple of finishing touches in the Hello Honey Satin Ribbon and the Cajun Craze Candy Dots.   I used all In-Colors on this card and love results.  Hope you do too!  

Happy Stampin',

Versatile Flowerpot DSP!

Hello Stamping Friends!

I have a super quick and easy card for you today using new SU Flowerpot DSP.  I absolutely love this new designer paper because it is so versatile.  Today's card is so simple, and on the masculine side, but other designs in the paper pack are full of vibrant color and beautifully floral!  So.  Much.  FUN!  I'm using two challenges today.   The sketch challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches and the monochromatic challenge over at The Paper Players.  I hope you take a little creative time this weekend and enjoy the art of paper crafting.  Happy Stamping!

The Perfect Blend

Hello Stampers!

     I hope this finds you enjoying your weekend and having a little time for paper crafting.  Today's card was inspired by the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches.  My first though when I saw it was to pull out and ink up this wonderful coffee cup in the Perfect Blend stamp set.  And, of course, I needed a little bit of grunge to go along on the ride, so I invited Gorgeous Grunge stamp set and Epic Day DSP to the party as well.  Here is my under 10 minute, quick and easy card.  I hope you enjoy.  Supply list to follow tomorrow...

** side note:  decided my scratch paper might just make the perfect backdrop for this messy card.  ;)
