Stamp Something Challenge

Good morning! This week's Stamp Something Challenge is sponsored by our own Marcea. Her challenge to us, is to use multiple shapes in your project. I'm not really lovin this card...I can't put my finger on what's wrong with it though. Maybe it would have looked better with a Baja Breeze as the background, and the pattern paper where the Baja is...or maybe the Baja just doesn't go. That color is in the pattern paper I used, but there is only one stripe of it, which is mostly covered up, lol. I might just tear this one apart and fix it . I used the Lattebella and just cut her off the stool. I love this bella. Her shirt is so cute!

Scallop circle cards

Good afternoon! I hope you all had a great weekend! I finally put in my new catalog order!! Woohoo! I can't wait! I ordered Thoughts & Prayers, Fifth Avenue Floral, Cheers to you and a few accessories. None of the SAB sets are really my style so I got the ribbon bundle and the DSP. I can't wait! I know I already said that, but it seems like it's been so long since I've ordered some SU goodies! I'm excited!

The other day I was looking at my nestabilities thinking how cute a card would be made from one that opened somehow. So that's what I did. On this one the white Wild Wasabi piece under the white lifts up.
I just punched though all the layers except for the scalloped one twice and ran the ribbon though that. Then I just scored to make it open. I used a circle needle point plastic canvas thingie to do the piercing. I'm so glad I can pierce circles now! Free hand wasn't even an option, lol. I've tried .

Stamp Something Challenge 2

Hey everyone. This card is for the second Stamp Something challenge. The theme this week is A little something to say, thank you, so I did a thank you card. These challenges have been great for me. It's nice to have a starting point sometimes =).

The apples aren't showing up right in the picture. They have a lot of yellow shading also. The white spots were done with the white Signo gel pen. And as you can see I didn't wait long enough for the apples to dry before I started on the sky. -Stamps-Give Thanks, Much Appreciated
