Thursday is here…zip the week is buzzing by and today is a WOOT-WOOT day for me as I am able to preorder some of the NEW PRODUCT from the NEW catalog!
It's an "Adult Version" of Christmas as when I was little….I remember taking a catalog and circling the things that I wanted Santa to bring to me…and now I feel the same but I get to pick and get exactly what I want! I can hardly wait for you to see the new catalog…fresh and fun are the 2 best words I can say for it!
Today's challenge is a color challege…how about playing along this week…here are the colors!
I cannot wait to share with you a "confession" with this card…I will sahre with you my "boo-boo" later in the post and share how I "fixed" it…Remember, when you create…there are no rules, no one will tell you that you cannot do something…whatever it is that you do…is a work of art – so HAVE FUN!
- The card base is a notecard size in Crumb Cake….31/2" X 5"…remember we have the matching envelope for this size!
- The Fresh Prints Designer Paper Stack is my inspiration for the day! The minute I saw the colors of the challenge, the light-bulb went off! This printed piece is 1 1/2" X 5" and then the thinner flagged pieces are 1/2" wide!
- The sentiment is from the Four You Stamp Set and it is carried over this year and one that needs a home with you…you will use this set often! Great Sentiments! I used the White Craft Ink to stamp the sentiment! (This ink has not been my favorite but lately we have been getting along well….so I am happy!!!)
- I stamped a flower from the Petite Petals Stamp and then punched it out with the matching punch! This comes in a bundle…which will save you 15% right off the bat – added a brad base, candy dot and then POPPED it up with a dimensional!
- Time for my confession…I went to do my "3 dots" on the sides of the sentiment and I totally messed up and there was no way to hide it….PLAN B – pop out a small flower…put a coordinating candy dot…GOOD TO GO!
- The envelope was a simple line with the framelit and the Big Shot….I think that this paper looks so rich against the crumb cake…it gives it great dimension!
Well…that's it – easy-peasy….right!!! Now this is a card that you could do….don't you think so? This is another "formula" type card that you can change the colors and the DSP and WOW – a new look!
Please give me some feedback about the daily emails…hopefully they were delivered to your in-box today…this has been a big deal for many Demonstrators….and I appreciate your understanding and feedback!
I hope that you are getting excited to see the new catalog! My customers will be receiving theirs next week…woot-woot – I truly wish that we could all be together in a big room and see the catalog together! Wouldn't that be super fun!
Seriously, I have some fun things planned to launch with this new catalog…remember the 2 words – "fun & fresh"…thanks for popping by, please go to the Pals Paper Art Site and see all of the other projects made with these 3 colors!
Enjoy the day…..WOW – May 1st….ZOOM the calendar is going – enjoy the day and…until tomorrow!
p.s. – please pop back…a sneal peak from the NEW catalog!
Haha! The first thing I thought when I saw this card was where are the dots?! Then I figured you must have replaced them with the flowers! You might just have to start using flowers instead! I like them! LOL! I Have the four you stamp set and use it all the time.
Well Good Morning! I hope you are dry. Thank God we are all dry, although I wasn’t sure at times. I’v had such a busy week and it won’t end until Sunday. Good Things, but busy. I totally forgot this is May 1st. I’m quite excited. Although I didn’t get to a preview everything I’ve read is wonderful and fantastic. Can’t wait to get going.
This card is you. I was scrolling on the PPA site and said, oh this is Susan’s. Thanks for your honesty on the dot cover up. I got this email without any problems. 🙂
I am so glad to start getting your emails again! Just love your style of simple! This is again, another beautiful card! Thanks For sharing!
What a pleasant surprise to see Simple Stampin in my inbox this morning!! Thank you.
Yeah! I was so happy to receive your email today. They have been missed. Today’s card is so classic. Love it!
I’m finally getting blog posts again in my mail. I love your style and it gives me so many ideas and techniques to try.
This is fantastic, Susan! I love the boo boos because sometimes they make it look better!! Love this combo. I used the same papers as a lot of the Pals did.
Yeah!!!!! Your blog is back in my email! I love this card! Keep them coming! This one is a keeper!
Sweet, sweet, sweet, Susan, as always!
Love it Susan, very classy!
Really like the colors and lay out of this one. I’ve just started to use the white craft ink and think I’m falling in love with it 🙂
Sweet card!
Ove those dots!
Oh I love this card! The DP looks so rich with the crumb cake. The flower and the simple banners are so sweet! This is a definite CASE card, but maybe not the little flowers but just the candy dots at each end of the sentiment – who knows. Whatever, it looks good to me! I am still not getting your b;og by E-mail. I need to make a sympathy card tonight but can’t decide if this is just quite right. I do have a couple of others I have made recently and may just rely on one of them and save this for when I have the matching envelope. Gotta get it just right you know!
Oh Chris….you make me laugh! I know….my dots would have been better than the flowers…but as the saying goes…”A girl has got to do what she needs to do!!!!”
Don’t fuss over the sympathy card….go to my ideas and CASE away….sorry for the passing!!!!
Clean and Simple and colorful! The two banners are the perfect punch of color.
A HUGE WOOT WOOT! I found your this post in my E-mail after I posted my comment! Actually, the little teeny flowers are kind of fun except I think I would have added a third one maybe in the very lower right hand corner? Not sure but they are fine on there! I just love the card, I think I like the pop of the two color strips with the flower against that cool pattern!
I went really simple for the card using an embossed flower piece. It was for one of our driver’s whose dad died at the age of 98! I decided I didn’t what the thinking of you as it was for the driver’s wife as she knows how much I love her English Walnut brownies and occasionally brings me one!
Great card. Love this color combo. Getting your e-mails just fine.
