Surprise! And you thought I had abandoned my other supplies for Christmas! I am happy to say that nearly everything on this card is fairly new!
Today we have our Crafty Sistahs' team meeting. I decided to participate in the swap this month. Each month there is a swap offered with a different theme, technique, or challenge. This month's swap was using the new in colors and the big shot. While I love the freedom of this type of theme, it took me forever to decide on a card! I really wanted to use the NEW stamp set Reason to Smile and finally found an old Clean and Simple Stamping sketch that would work nicely with the image. I also knew I wanted to use the midnight muse paper from the Comfort Cafe DSP. I love the fabric like pattern on this paper!
So here is the sketch...
and here is my card...
If you are checking out this image and the name of the stamp set and wondering 'where in the world did she find this...', I have some news for you!
In the month of July, when your Stampin' Up order totals $50 or more (before S&H) you can order this lovely stamp set for $5!!!! Let me know if you would like to place an order and add this beautiful set to your supplies!
So on this card, I have used all 5 of the new in colors, the new Comfort Cafe DSP, the new Bitty Banners stamp set and framelits, and the exclusive stamp set! How's that for new goodies!! And even better-I get to bring home some wonderful cards created by my fellow crafty sistahs! Can't wait!
I hope your weekend is extra special and crafty! Thanks for visiting!!
