This is such a fun stamp…how can you not smile with this great stamp…but the sentiment – THE BEST! Think about how affordable the card is…there is really nothing to it and the Woot-Woot's you will receive will definitely make you a Happy Stamper!
Today is a "Stepped up version" from yesterdays card! Please click here to see yesterdays card and and then in the picture below you can see them side by side.
(click on the image to make it larger)
There are 3 main changes….simple ones but ones that do make a difference and when you hold them side by side in your hands….it really is a toss up. I asked John and James….and they both liked todays card because of the Polka Dots Embossing Folder. (CHANGE #1)
The other change is that I added a peak of black paper behind and you can see in the below photo that I took full advantage of the new "Boo!" framelit that will be available on Tuesday! You betcha that I will but these to good use….the font is ADORABLE! (CHANGE #2)
Here below, you can see the polka dot folder! This is my absolute favorite folder as I call it the "Happy Folder" because it goes with soooo many different themes and it is classic!
The other thing I changed/added was I took the Soft Suede Marker and using the brush tip end ~ I did some swift and a light touched motions down across the broom and then also colored the handle in! (Nancy, you were sooooo smart – great comment yesterday) (CHANGE #3)
It is hard to see but that is the look that you want…if it is too heavy and dark – you will loose the effect! I also used the Tangelo Twist to color in the bows on the brooms. Remember, less is best!
The envelope is the same fun as yesterday – no need to change it up when it is sooo darn cute with this Super fun polka dot paper from the Happy Hauntings Paper – adorable!
Well there you go! Another fun 2 day challenge but remember even though the changes are not drastic, I hope that I am showing you that you can add…take away….do a different technique…..to make a clean and simple card a bit different but still be clean and simple!
I do hope that you try this fun cut around a stamp ~ it is super easy and it can't be any easier – just keep those scissors moving and do not over think it – works like a charm each and every time!
I can tell that many of you are getting excited for the new catalog….it really is a fun and special one…I am super thrilled that Stampin' Up! continues to offer more and more bundles….as with the bundles you will save an instant 15%!
I hope that this stamp is on your wish list – fun, fresh, great font and the price is right!
Please remember that I am offering a product share for the new product and it is not too late for you to take advantage of the fun. Please click here to see the offerings as I will be ordering 1st thing Tuesday….(probably like many of you!!!!)…video below….enjoy! Please put in the subject line PRODUCT SHARE….thanks!
Good Morning Susan, It is much too early to be up today. I am only “smart” because I have a great teacher and leader!!! I think the three changes are great. I do like the “Happy” EF.
Have a great Sunday!
🙂
Love today’s card too! The dots are so happy, you are so right. I haven’t used my dot folder in awhile. I’m getting it out and using it this week. Thanks for the reminder.
It’s almost Tuesday….Yea!
You’ve done it again! This card is SO cute and happy and fun and, and!!!! You continue to amaze me with your creations! Your email every day starts my day and I always leave with a smile on my face! Not only are your creations great, the way you explain what has been done REALLY helps to make everything understandable! THANK YOU for sharing your love of paper crafting! Just great work!!!
The “happy” TEF is my all-time favorite and is my most used…anything polka dot, I’ve gotta have it. I love the touches on today’s card.
As a side note, I’m addicted to making “Poppers” now. I started out planning to make eight (for all of the teachers) but now at last count I’m in my 20’s. I just keep making them because they are so fun and simple. I filled them with 4 Hershey Nuggets and am going to give them to family, neighbors, etc. All that just because you got the courage to make a GREAT video!
Susan, I’m loving the videos! You are doing a great job and I appreciate all the work you are doing to make them great. Thank you…..
Happy day!, I am getting the daily emails again. It made my morning coffee so much more enjoyable. Love this card. You are so talented.
This is a very cute Halloween card. I, too, like today’s stepped up version with the little changes that make a big difference… especially side by side. Thanks for sharing your creative talents with us.
Something about that black mat made me like today’s version the best. I couldn’t see the embossing until you pointed it out or I hadn’t noticed the handles being colored – just the touches of orange. But, both cards are just as fun. I am still trying to figure out which broom is mine!
