So Grateful

Inspired by Wedgewood china, I made this card using all Stampin' Up supplies. New Apothcary Art set with Baja Breeze (my current favorite) and Not Quite Navy cardstocks. The designer paper is a mix of old and new SU: base is a Christmas paper with some Beau Chateau and Domestic Goddess. I need to start thinking of flatter cards without a lot of embellishing since postage rates are going up again on the 22nd.

Spice Cake designer paper

This is the new Stampin' Up designer paper from the upcoming holiday mini and it is called Spice Cake, to go along with the sketch challenge today. I am not sure why but it is an exact match to the retired stamp set True Friend which is what I used here. Baja and Soft Suede inks. Chocolate Chip base, Whisper White for image panel. Glitter brad and vanilla seam binding ribbon. The birthday sentiment is from Create A Cupcake and one of my favorites. It is the perfect size and font to go with just about any design. All supplies are Stampin' Up.

My second card today is from yesterday's SCS color challenge to use Real Red, Daffodil, and Night of Navy with a "back to school" theme. I didn't have any school types of stamps so I went with an apple for the teacher. Card cut out by hand with the fold at the side, stem of Chocolate Chip and leaf of Garden Green. I swiped some cherry cobbler and craft white inks over the front to make it a bit more realistic looking.
The book stamp is from a This Book Bleongs To stamp (Magenta) where I masked off that sentiment and added one from the classic SU set Sincere Salutations. Clip and notebook page punch are both SU.

For Everything

For our challenge presented by Sharon, she challenged us to use a found object on your card. I stamped a faint background using bubble wrap. All supplies are Stampin' Up: Daffodil Delight textured cardstock, Confetti Natural, Basic Gray. For Everything stamp set, paper flowers, white taffeta ribbon, and pearls.

For Everything

A one layer thank you, fits a check size envelope.
I used the For Everything set by Stampin' Up in Old Olive, poppy, Basful Blue and Pacific Point on Whisper White base. Daffodil flower centers punched from Itty Bitty punch with half pearls.

Arigato

This was created for today's Featured Stamper Joanne Grzelak (jojot). I used her basic layout and color combination and changed the stamps, flowers, and embellishments. The Asian Doll is by Hero Arts, the thank you stamp is by Hanko Designs, the Asian Poetry background is by SU and was embossed in white on black. Sizzlits die cuts for flowers and leaves and Finial Press embossing folder.
