Happy Weekend to everyone!
WOWZERS….what a difference 24 hours makes! It was 43 degrees here today -is that crazy or what! The sad part is….we still have a TON of snow…..but I am being positive!!!!
Many thanks for all of your comments…I do enjoy them and I do try to respond to them but it made me laugh about the donkey….he really does not like me….we have this love/hate relationship and I truly do not get it… he is a babysitter to Arnold…an old 28 year old retired show horse and they have been having a slumber party together most of the week….he should be doing the donkey "happy dance"
I think why he does not like me is that I make him do a job every year….his "Nativity Scene" duty and he does a great job….I go visit him but I think he holds it against me that he has to "hang out" with 2 sheep and a bunch of "Nativity Stuff" for a month! Arnold has several bad days when he leaves….but he gets over it!
O.k. – enough with that darn donkey…..let's get to why you are here!
Can you say S I M P L E …..and to me, simple works today!
(simple works for me everyday)
You really do not need me for this card….as it really is simple…BUT – it is the type of card that you can duplicate over and over again…..remember earlier this week I told you about having a card…"just in case"??? Well this is one of them!
The base is the Notecard and Envelope – my all to go-to! The color of choice for the day is Marina Mist….so clean and crisp! The size of this is 4 3/4" X 3 1/4"!
The whisper white is 3 3/4" X 2 1/4" and this card goes to show you how important it is to keep your ink pads well inked! WHY??? When you have an image that is a "flat coverage" like this elephant…you really need to have a good ink coverage!
The Stamp-A-Ma-Jig was my friend for this card….I know….many of you are thinking – "I do not like that thing" – well THAT THING IS THE BOMB……it is so easy once you give it a chance!
Woot-Woot…I only used 1 stamp set for this card….and it is the Zoo Babies Stamp Set…and it is soooo cute!
A "Susan stitch" was the border to the stamped image….this time I did a Dash-dot-Dash-dot….works for me – try it….you'll like it!
The envelope was a no-brainer for me….I ADORE polka dots….to me they are like baloons – they make me smail…..and I adore the Polka Par Parade Designer Series Paper! Fun…Fun…FUN!!!!
Again, this card is soooooo easy but easy works! Don't try to stress yourself out but making things hard…less is best….and less works!
I hope that you have enjoyed this "SIMPLE" card! "SIMPLE" works for me…….anything that gets the job done but still creates a WOW factor….I love!
Please POP back tomorrow as I have a super fun post for you! I am excited for the the weekend…and I promise, I will try to get the donkey to "like me"
Until tomorrow…..
Hi Susan….I need to make a congrats baby card fast and this is it! Love it and the simplicity….as always thanks for the inspiration! And today is Hug Your Donkey Day! (just kidding)
So cute ! And yesterday`s card was so pretty ! Something for everyone ! I forget about the Mariner Mist giving that oomph to a card all by itself . But, I am not a big solid image stamp fan . Oh, I have a bunch of them I just don`t use them much . Your little elephant looks perfect ! And I really do need to pull out my Stamp-a-ma-jiggy thingie !
Donkey is upset because there is no “Donkey Stamp”. Ha. Ha. Nice card. My first SU order was Marina Mist items. More snow is coming, gear up. 🙂
This card is very cute, Susan. I have to ask – how did you attach his ear to make it angle up like that? Is it folded under at the end?
Cute, cute, cute! I need to make a card for a new baby girl…change of color from marina to pink and I plan to CASE away! 🙂
Cute card and I like easy and CAS. Love how you did the ear. Thanks for sharing.
I know that sometimes it is hard to use a solid image…but just let it “stand in it’s own” like I did here – a simple sentiment and DONE!!!
I think sometimes we try to fuss too much with busy paper, techniques….just keep it simple!
That darn donkey might not like me….but the stamp-a-ma-jig does! – Pull it out!!!!
O.k – if there was a donkey stamp I would make him a let’s make peace card!!!!
Hi Karen….How is CA? – I just stamped another ear and then trimmed it out and then made a tiny fold and used mono glue!!!
