If there is something good…why not keep it going! Here is # 2 of this fun stamp set that I focused yesterday! Why haven't I used it before…..it is super-duper!

Wow…it was so fun to see the comment come in yesterday with asking you what your favorite Turkey Day foods are and I was soooo happy to hear that there are many Pork and Sauerkraut fan out there!!!

I will say another food that kept coming up was turnips! I adore them and I truly have forgotten about them – thanks for the culinary enabling and yesterday I did the final BIG wham of the grocery store along with everyone else in my town…they found their way in my basket!

Confessions of an honest demonstrator…Until yesterday, I had not used the Friendship Preserved Stamp Set and I was so happy with the end result that I decided to use it again before it went back to its home on the shelf!

The Color combination for today’s card came from the Color Coach…when you are in a rut or just want something a bit fresh and out of “your regular” go to…I say Color Coach to the rescue!

I wanted to use the In Color Summer Starfruit and when I looked up that color in the Color Coach – it guided me to pair it up with Elegant Eggplant and Smoky Slate! Sounds great to me!

Still trying to showcase products that are on the Super Holiday Sale besides this stamp set…the Needlepoint Border Embossing Folder is also on sale! If you are like me…you forget about this little gem and look at the fun texture it brings!

The Whisper White piece is 5 ¼ X 4” and then it is so easy to see where you want the embossing to go!

Put these simple tricks in your “memory bank”!!!

I started this card with the Smoky Slate Pre-cut and scored card bases that Stampin’ Up! has for a limited time! To me, this time of the year – ease and convenience is of the essence in many ways and being able to pull off the shelf a precut – pre-scored card base is a win = win for me! Please click here check out the 7 different colors they come in!

Stamping the “hello” stamp in Summer Starfruit and then using the Windows Frames Collection Framelits a quick run through the Big Shot and BAM – done

I did the same with the Elegant Eggplant card stock and then simply cut the shape in half before matting them behind the stamped image! Remember odd numbers always work with balance

The Summer Starfruit satin Stitched ribbon is the perfect finishing touch to the card…..I like the way it looks right about the embossed part!

Thank goodness we have the designer series paper in all of the color palette's! WOW – it makes it so easy to go to the color you are using….like Elegant Eggplant here…see that it is in the Regal Collection = BAM….the Regals Designer Paper Stack is perfect! Works every time!

 I hope that this sweet little card inspires you to say "hello" to someone! There is just nothing like going to the mailbox and seeing a handmade card with a familiar handwriting!

Have a fabulous day, pace yourself with all that needs to get accomplished this week….because it looks like there is going to be lots of great foods on our tables from all of the great comments from yesterday!

Until tomorrow!
