Fall to Layout 136

Today when I checked out the Fall to Layout on the Clean and Simple Blog,  I knew exactly how I wanted to use the sketch.  I used the "sneak peek" stamp set and designer series paper from the upcoming Stampin' Up! catalogue.  These were very quick cards and was able to make two in very little time.

Supplies found on both cards:

Stamps:  Four Frames, Thank You Kindly, For All You Do ("thank you")

Paper:  Paisley Petals DSP, Whisper White, Marina Mist, Early Espresso

Ink:  Marina Mist, Early Espresso

Accessories:  1/8" Marina Mist Ribbon, 1/8" Early Espresso Ribbon, Label Punch, Dimensionals, Brights Button, Linen Thread, Glue Dot, Scalloped  Border Punch

More Four Squared

I had some left over card stock cut out from the stamp classes I did in March, and rather than just throwing them in my scrap folders, I thought I would make a bunch of completed cards.  These are variations on THIS card.  As you can see I tried to make some more masculine than the others.

Time-Saving Tip:  When you are making a card, why not make a duplicate at the same time.  You can make it exactly the same or slightly different.  That way you have a card ready to go for when you need it.  You can hold off on the sentiment until you know what you will be using the card for.

Fall to Layout 135

Today I had a chance to work on a sketch challenge ~ the Fall to Layout 135 from the Clean and Simple blog.  It was a fun way to spend part of the afternoon.  It was a beautiful afternoon (15 degrees Celsius) where I really should have been outside washing my windows ~ wiping away the winter grime.  Tomorrow is always another day....to stamp some more.  :)

Supplies:

Stamps:  Thank You Kindly, A to Z

Paper:  Crumb Cake, Melon Mambo, Early Espresso, Sweet and Sour DSP, First Edition DSP

Ink:  Early Espresso, Pumpkin Pie

Accessories:  Fun Flowers Bigz Die, Big Shot, Sponge Dauber, Melon Mambo Sweet Button, 1/8" Pumkin Pie Ribbon, Glue Dot, Dimensionals, Dotted Scalloped Border Punch, Embossed Curve Border Punch (non-SU)

Have a Very Square Happy Birthday

Here is a very simple card that that was made at a couple of card classes in March.  By switching the patterned paper, you can make the card look more masculine.  For example, try using the striped patterned paper from the Elegant Soiree Designer Series Paper.   Once all the card stock pieces are cut, it is a very quick card to assemble.

By the way, I used THIS card as inspiration to create mine.

Supplies:

Stamps:  Four Square (retired)

Paper:  Elegant Soiree DSP, Very Vanilla, Early Espresso, Baja Breeze

Ink:  Baja Breeze

Accessories:  Dimensionals, Ribbon (non-SU), 1-3/8 Square Punch

4-1/4 x 5-1/2 card
