I am trying to pull out stamps that have been neglected a bit with the new catalog etc…and this stamp set, Starburst Sayings is a great stamp set especially since it comes in a bundle! Running those framelits through "Mr. Big Shot" makes life great getting a perfect cut!
Today I am also playing with The Paper Players this week and here is the palette of colors for the challenge! I love these colors as it reminds me of Fall!
I love the color of Baked Brown Sugar and I chose this to be my focal color! Here is a tip for large stamps like this…it has been a while since I have used this stamp and at 1st it was not stamping clean.
Naturally I was a bit frustrated but then I remember that sometimes you need to stamp….clean…stamp …clean and that will help…and it did….perfect coverage! (Try this with the photopolymer as well)
When you see the images below of the stamp set…you can see that there are several that are large! Isn't this a fun and fresh set!
This is one of those layouts that can be used for sooo many different stamps and themes…keep it in your memory bank for the future!
You know I love layers and you can see that there are many layers (remember to cut the "insides" out to save your paper) The Large Polka Dot Folder was the "fun factor" for the backdrop to the focal point!
Pulling the colors from the challenge, I popped them out with the Banner Punch…love using scraps up! Placing adhesive on the back of the stamped image I placed the Blackberry Bliss around and then filled in…easy-peasy!
Envelope time…with the help of the Envelope Punch Board and the Lullaby Designer Series Paper…DONE! You know that I love square cards and it is so easy with this tool!
I hope that this card put a smile on your face and I hope that YOU have a Happy Day! I sure plan to as we are having some fabulous Fall weather and John and I are enjoying taking walks on the C & O Canal…..such a pretty time of the year!
Please feel free to email me and tomorrow you will be getting in the festive mood….please pop back and see what I have up my sleeve!
Until tomorrow!
Super cute card Susan!!!
Cheerful! I like it!
Thanks for the “stamp…clean…stamp…clean” advice. I am sure I’m going to need to remember that some time!
Cyberhugs!
Fun card!
First, I like this card and the fall colors. It can be given to a man and also can be changed up with more feminine colors for a woman….simple, easy and conveys the message. Second, I came home from a long day at work yesterday and what is in my mailbox….my package from you! Excitement filled my house when I opened it (hubby thought I won the lottery)…absolutely loved everything and your holiday card was adorable…love that little bonus surprise! Thanks Susan!!
What a great card – happy, happy!
Super card, Susan. Love the simplicity of it while it gives your eyes something to ponder with the banners and polka dots. FUN!
This is a great card! TFS
Hi Susan, this card made me smile as soon as I saw it. Everything about it is so pleasing, from the sentiment, the layout and the colors. I have the little banner punch but have never used it…now I will. Thanks for the inspiration.
Now, this is fun! I really like it with all the snazzy colors! Definitely a smile card! I keep thinking I should get that framelit set but putting it off. I think it would be fun to play with. Lpve the envelope treatment too. Great jov as always! Looking forward to your next post. Hey, did you get snow last week like you had thought?
Oops, Ginger was to get the snow last week in Montana, sorry, I am a bit tired! I just made cards at the competitors tonight!
Yes, I love everything about this card. ?
Did you see your card on stampinup.com?
Adorable! Love your card!
Great card, Susan! I love the banners tucked behind the starburst! Such a great idea. Thanks for joining us at The Paper Players.
What a cool creation! I love your use of the sentiment…nice and bold….and the little flags really make the whole card pop! Thanks for sharing this with us at the Paper Players!
Love the way your embossed background complements the sentiment. Your placement of the banners is perfection. I also love that you created an envelope to go with this fabulous card. So glad you joined the Paper Players this week

I love the way those little coloured banners sit around the starburst – they really draw your eye into the card. I also like your use of Baked Brown Sugar as your key colour – it makes the flags really stand out. Thanks for joining us over at The Paper Players this week.
