Sold! - Congratulations

Well......I am getting lots done tonight since the weather is so cold and everything closed down, so spending some quality time in the craft room working on personal cards that are overdue!  Hopefully tomorrow will be another "Snow Day" and I can perhaps work up a batch of birthday cards to have on hand for the upcoming weeks/months!




Well......I decided to participate once again in the Your Next Stamp monthly challenge since you can enter as many times as you want. And....simply because I can not get my mojo going tonight, I needed a sketch that would accommodate my image and this one worked!




I had a friend who recently sold her home so when I came across this image in my pile to color, I thought it would be perfect to send her a little "Congratulations on the sale of your home". 

Basic card, but gets the message across perfectly I do think!




Card Ingredients:


Cardstock:  Stampin Up! Summer Sun (retired)
Designer Papers: Close to My Heart Laid Back Paper Pack (retired)
Stamp: Stamping Bella (not sure of actual stamp name)
Colors: Stampin' Up Watercolor Pencils
Ink:  Stampin' Up Rich Razzleberry




Happy Crafting!

Sketch Challenge with Your Next Stamp

Hello everyone! Over the weekend I stumbled upon another stamp company called Your Next Step.  They do a monthly challenge so I decided to participate.  I do not have any of their stamps yet, but they are nice enough to let anyone play along in their challenges! If interested, please go over to Your Next Stamp and play along! This is the YNSFFC08 - January 2014 Sketch Challenge.


In going through my stamping supplies this weekend, I also came across a brand new stamp that had never been inked up so my goal this weekend was to put this bad boy to use. This challenge was the perfect time to do it!  Here is the card I came up with:

This color scheme is way out of my norm, but I thought it turned out rather cute, and I am pleased with it. I stamped the first pear with Certainly Celery right on my white cardstock.  I then stamped the dotted pear with Old Olive on scrap white and cut it out and popped it up to give the card a little dimension.  Listed below are the products used.


Cardstock:  Stampin Up! Sahara Sand, Old Olive and Basic Black
Stamps:  Studio G
Ink:  Stampin Up! Black, Old Olive and Certainly Celery
Other:  Stampin Up!  Stampin' Dimensionals


Happy Crafting!
