Stamp Night Card and Blogger’s Challenge Update…
Mar 23rd, 2007 by Jen
After all the cutting I made my friends do with the Bunny Bag Topper and other project (will post tommorrow), I figured an easy card would be a right up their ally. I love this layout, which I originally saw in Lauren Meader’s {mytime} gallery . So simple, yet it has endless possibilities with sets and embellishments!
Stamps: Mixed Bouquet, Warmest Regards, Paisley
Paper: Very Vanilla, Basic Black, Certainly Celery, Ruby Red
Ink: Ruby Red, Basic Black, Certainly Celery
Other: Dimensionals
I HAD TO HAVE Mixed Bouquet as soon as SU! released it in a summer mini a couple years ago. I am surprised the rubber is not worn down on this, as much as I used it when I first got it. However, this poor set has been a little unloved lately, so I blew off the dust and used it for the main panel image {which is mounted on dimensionals}. The bottom panel is Certainly Celery, stamped with Paisley in Certainly Celery. I used the Warmest Regards set for the sentiment. Many friends chose to do something other than “Thank You,” but I find myself not sending as many thank you notes as I once did, so that is the sentiment I chose. Hopefully, this will inspire me to get off my rear and do some more.
BLOGGER’S CHALLENGE UPDATE:
Well, it looks like it is a go. Spread the word, because tomorrow the first challenge goes up. I am going to switch up the “guidelines” a little, but nothing too drastic.
For those of you without a blog…You are in no way excluded from this at all!! Post to your gallery and provide us with a link.
One thing to keep in mind…all comments from posters that have not previously commented will go into moderation. So, if your comment does not immediately appear, no need to fret. I will be approving posts throughout the day.
That is a very cute card….one that can be used so much!!
And I am totally excited about the New Bloggers Challenge!! I’m off to post about it on my blog.
Nice card! I’ll have to try that layout too. It looks like a great way to showcase different BG stamps without having to do it on a whole quarter sheet of CS. Great for a workshop with inexperienced stampers, but still a really nice card. I also admire the way you used red and green without it looking Christmassy, something I find a bit tricky sometimes. Thanks for sharing this!
I like the idea of the bloggers’ challenge. I’m toying with the idea of starting a blog, but for now I’ll just have to link to my SCS gallery.
Keep up the great work!
I really like the simplicity of this layout. Wish I had seen it before I designed and cut everything for a shoebox swap I’m in tomorrow. This would have been much easier!
Can’t wait for you to post the first challenge set. Hope I have it!
Love this layout! This is one of my favorite stamp sets too. I’ll be watching for your challenge!
