Smoky White Gumball Sympathy

Yesterday's Color Challenge over on Splitcoast was to use 

Smoky Slate, Whisper White and Gumball Green 

on a card.  

I had my brand new Regarding Dahlias stamp set 

on my table so I decided it was time to ink it up!

I grabbed my package of Note Cards and Envelopes 

and decided to make a clean and simple Sympathy Card. 

I inked up my Dahlia in Smoky Slate and stamped it just off the bottom corner of my panel.  My Sentiment is stamped in Gumball Green.  It fits perfectly and the elegant script looks lovely with the subtle Dahlia.  My image panel is layered on a Gumball Green panel and is popped up using Dimensionals. 

I love the result!  

Regarding Dahlias is going straight onto my list of "go to" sets - 

right there with Blooming with Kindness!  

These two sets are so versatile!  

Between the two, you can cover just about any occasion, or season, 

and create gorgeous feminine or masculine cards easily!

You can find these go-to sets, and so much more, in my Online Store.

Thanks for stopping by today and, 

as always, 

Happy Stamping!

MOJO Monday Challenge: Happy Thanksgiving

Yesterday I looked to the MOJO Monday challenge (#312), 

a sketch challenge, for some inspiration.

I already had some Sweater Weather Designer Paper out on my table, 

along with Chocolate Chip ink and the Magnificent Maple stamp 

so I based my card on what was in front of me.

I am pretty happy with how my card turned out.  

I hope you like it and that you find some MOJO of your own!

All of the products I used on today's card

can be found in my Online Store.

If you have any questions,

I'm here to help!

Have a great day and, as always,

Happy Stamping!

CAS card for Monday challenge

Today's card is for the Monday CAS challenge on Splitcoaststampers.

CAS239 is a Sketch Challenge and I was immediately inspired 

and knew exactly what stamp set I wanted to use!   

The additional request is for a Get Well card.  

My final card is not exactly how I originally intended 

but I am still very happy with it.

Soft Sky is a new color for me.  

It was an in-color "before my time".  

I have heard comments that Soft Sky and Chocolate Chip 

are awesome together so, I cracked the seal on my new Soft Sky ink pad 

and gave it a go!  I do love them together!  

I figured they would be a win-win because they are partnered 

in the new Designer Paper Pack Sweater Weather.

My card base, in Soft Sky, is 3"x6" 

and the Whisper White panel is 2"x5" layered on Chocolate Chip.

For my flags, I cut a  Chocolate Chip patterned strip 

from the Sweater Weather pack.  

The Flower Shop flowers are stamped in Soft Sky 

and my Get Well Soon (from Delightful Dozen) 

is stamped in Chocolate Chip.

I hope you have enjoyed today's CAS card. 

Maybe it will inspire you to give this sketch a try too!

Happy Stamping,

Mary

My First Envelope and a Club Card

My Envelope Punch Board arrived yesterday!

Big Brown arrived right at noon 
and I was home to grab my box and run!

Within minutes of opening the box, I had the cutest little envelope made for one of this month's Club Cards!  
Can we say "Easy Peasy"!?

I must admit, this was one product I thought I could do without.
I was WRONG!

The Envelope Punch Board is a Must Have for the Card-Maker and Scrapbooker or general Paper Crafter!  
I can imagine making envelopes of all sizes for tucking in mementos for my scrapbooks!

Fall Mixed Bunch Bouquet for You

This is the card I created during my Stamp Therapy a couple of days ago.
I kept it simple with two colors: Crushed Curry and Cajun Craze.
I love how it came out!

I used the "rock and roll" technique on my flower images from Mixed Bunch.  

I hope you find some time for a little Stamp Therapy of your own!

Thanks for visiting me today!
