Pastel Joy

Today’s card is in response to a new weekly challenge, the “Global Design Project”  I have been wanting to join a challenge, but just haven’t been moved to do it.  This week’s challenge is all about the colors. I never use pink. To use it is a real challenge for me.  In fact to even do this challenge, I had to coax every tiny bit of ink I could out of my old fabric Pink Pirouette ink pad that must be 5 or 6 years old.  It is one of 2 I have never replaced with the new foam!

I wanted a “holiday card look”, but this card could go anywhere – birthdays, bat mitzvahs, quinceanera, communions, baby, you name it. I loved how the card came out!  The next challenge was getting a good photo of it.  I had to finagle the lighting and those are Pearls, not ink spots! I finally got something fairly decent to show, thank you Photoshop! I hope this card challenges you to try something out of your comfort zone!

Hello Sweet Lil’ Things!

One of my stampin’ friends gave me a whole pile of the “hello” framelet cutouts because she was only using the negative version.  So, of course I had to come up with something to do with these!  I had ben making a gift package with some items made from the “Sweet Lil’ Things” DSP and the “hello” just seemed to work for this!

Also, I have to mention that today would have been my Mom’s 90th birthday if she was still with us!  So, Hello Mom! I know she is having the same great time and making people laugh and be happy where she is now as she did the 80 years she had on this earth!

Warm Wishes!

Today’s card is in response the the lament heard from many of my Stampin’ friends that, “you can’t do anything with the “Warm Wishes” stamp set”.  On the contrary my dear friends!  This stamp set caught my eye right away when I first looked at the new holiday catalog. I love the earthy colors and the rustic design.  This stamp will be a “go to” for me time and time again this season for cards, tags, decor or more!  This card is a little over the top in terms of all the stamps used, but I did want to show the naysayers that Warm Wishes truly is a fabulous holiday stamp!
