Here's to a NEW week…here's to a GREAT week! I am going to "MAKE a WISH" that you are inspired this week and that you will continue to learn all about papercrafting and just having fun! This is a fun sketch this week and I hope that you play along!
I often get emails asking where I find sketches…I try to go to websites for challenges and find on that I think you would like…this one I borrowed from Freshly Made Sketches (great weekly challenge)
Lots of FUN color today and I decided to use a base color that I do not use often, Rose Red. It is such a clean and crisp color and I think that it looks super with the Crushed Curry! I just cannot get enough of the BIG dots with the embossing folder…It just makes such a great and crisp statement!
Now that we have Crushed Curry in embossing powder, I simply could not resist "heat embossing" the sentiment!.To get the effect of the tag I simply used the Angled Tag Punch and then matted it embossed sentiment!
In the picture below you will see this but I lifted the tag with Stampin Dimensionals and them all I had to do with the star was to put a dab of Mono Glue on the right side of the star and it lifted up perfectly! The white gel pen was also a life saver…..AGAIN! Just love the simple touch!
This stamp set, Perfect Pennents is a great set! There are so man different and fun options with this set….just google the stamp set name and you will be shocked with all that is out there! One set that I definately would be in my work area!
The ribbon I just cut in half to make it narrower …cute! I was not going to do the lower sentiment but then the "follow the sketch" came out and I thought this was a perfect finishing touch! I have neglected Embellished Events…just love that santa hat!
Now to the fun finale….the envelope! Another double whammy for you! I hope that I do inspire you to give your envelopes some "love"…it is the 1st thing that the recipient sees…and trust me, a little extra work will leave a lasting impression and smile!
Well….how about it!?!? Can you give it a whirl!?!?! I hope that you play around and if so…lease send me a picture! I love seeing your work. I think that it is super that there are so many of you that look forward to this! THAT make me smile…..
You can see all of the products that I used below…so easy – click on them and they will go right into a shopping cart…all from your home – woot-woot – shopping made easy!
Here's to a great week…Until tomorrow!

Susan, What a great card. The card is simple but pops right out at you. THe receiver would love this card.
The mailman must love to come to your house. Thank you for your great inspiration. Have a fun stamping day. Hugs, Ellen Hinds
Susan, how did you do the two stars. I know one is in the stamp set. How did you do the smaller star in the middle of the bugger star? Thank you, Ellen Hinds
Love it, Susan! And the Crushed Curry and Rose Red are GREAT together. I would not have thought of using them together. Thanks so much, Susan.
Hi Ellen…I just used the star framelits…they are the smallest one (Rose Red) and then the next size up is the Crushed Curry!
I love to make the mailman smile…have a great day!
Thank you so much Susan, You are the best, Have a great stamping day, Ellen Hinds
