So it’s Friday and I have a card to share. See –

I just pulled a card base, and looked through my drawers of paper to find just the right size to go with my DSP. Love this punch, so I had to try that too. And, YES, it cut/punched through the preprinted window sheet! Yay! So, end result is a cute layered flower.

My inspiration came from none other than Freshly Made Sketches –

Now this one was a challenge for me. But, I turned my card long ways and it just came together. What do you think?

Supplies. Loving Thoughts Stamp Set. StazOn Ink. Whisper White and Melon Mambo Card Stocks. Night & Day Specialty DSP (so sad, it’s retired). Blossom Punch. Boho Blossoms Punch. Modern Label Punch. Basic Black 1/2″ Scallop Dots Ribbon.

I liked the way I completed this challenge. After all, this was exactly that for me.

And. looking at these pictures, I need a new paper trimmer…..ugh.

Happy Stampin’

So, I pulled out some new products from the Occasions Mini catalog, Twitterpated DSP and the stamp set, Loving Thoughts to create this –

I think the petite design of this paper works perfectly with my 3×6 take.

The inspiration came from Freshly Made Sketches and their current challenge –

I love the long design. I get in a rut with the same old 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card size. So, this for me was definitely ‘fresh’.

I seem to take these designs literally, Although there is some room for creativity – I just like to go with the original design.

Supplies. Loving Thoughts Stamp Set. Island Indigo Ink. Blushing Bride, Island Indigo, and Whisper White Card Stock. Twitterpated DSP. Punches, Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border, 2″ Scallop Circle (non SU), 1 3/4″ Circle, Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer. (Lots of punches!!) Northern Flurry Embossing Folder (bet you didn’t guess that, did you?). Twitterpated Designer Buttons.

I know, that was a lot of stuff to create this fabulous gem – but, so worth it I think.

Thanks Freshly Made Sketches for another great challenge!

Happy Stampin’
