Here is a card that I have made for today's the Pals Paper Art Challenge! Go and check these talented and beautiful designs….WOW!!! These were the guidelines…to use these colors and I am quite pleased with the end result! I love and always use Crumb Cake as my "go-to" base color as I love the richness it brings to other colors you put with it! Please click on the picture to make it bigger….this picture does not do this beautiful card justice!

The
Stamp Set is one that has such great and meaningful sentiments. From My
Heart, is a set that really has a simple, yet uplifting and fun twist to
getting a point across! The true helper to me on this project is the
Stampin' Trimmer. This trimmer allows you to make such precise cuts ( these were 1/2" wide) that
always makes your projects look great! Please do not forget that you
can purchase replacement blades for this…and the best part is there is
a little compartment underneath the trimmer to hold extra blades so if
needed…they are right there! I have only changed my blade once and I
use this trimmer ALL THE TIME!

This stamp is relatively a square shape so I did the same with the card and then built from there! The size of the card is 5 1/2" X 5 1/2" – I love odd size cards because you can always make your own custom size envelope so it's a breeze…plus – "It's hip to be square….right" The Vanilla Card stock was 3 1/4" square and then I matted it ~ they naturally I POPPED it for the WOW!

Doing these types of stripes is super easy…you will have "left overs" hanging off the edges – I use scissors 1st to get them close to the size I'm striving for and then I use my cutter to make it exact! I thought the extra touch of the Stitched Satin Ribbon was the perfect finale…..next to my liner, which is from the "tea for two" designer series paper from the new Spring Catalog!

This is another example on how you can use a layout that you like and just make some changes with the colors and sentiments….and you achieve a whole new feel! Card-making does not have to be hard or stressful…is has to be fun and rewarding! I hope that you enjoyed today's card and I hope that you have signed up for my blog…so I can inspire you each day!
