Good morning! I got up early this morning and had some very productive time down in my studio. I managed to crank out three more cards using this week's
Late Night Stamper's Convention sketch! This first card is themed for fall or Thanksgiving and uses the wonderful Season of Friendship stamp set from the Holiday Mini Catalog! The DSP is Juntos (one of my favorites). Cardstock colors are More Mustard, Really Rust and Very Vanilla and the tree and leaves are stamped in Chocolate Chip, More Mustard and Really Rust. I cut the circle using the Coluzzle Shape Cutting System and tied on two lengths of 1/4" Chocolate Chip Grosgrain ribbon with bows.
The second card is for Christmas or winter. I saw this color inspiration challenge somewhere recently but now can't remember where (let me know if you know). I love how this turned out in Chocolate Chip, Riding Hood Red and Whisper White. With Bella Rose DSP, I used the Coluzzle Cutting System again, this time with the Oval Template, and added a narrow strip of Chocolate Chip that has been punched with the Scallop Edge Punch. The beautiful Small Felt Flurries are from the Holiday Mini Catalog, attached with Rhinestone Brads. I used 3/8" Riding Hood Red Taffeta Ribbon and punched out the sentiment, from Best Wishes and More, with the Large Oval Punch!
One more card this morning for you ... another for Christmas. I again used the Coluzzle Oval Template on Chocolate Chip cardstock and stamped the dove image, from To You and Yours, with Whisper White Craft Ink and Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder. The sentiment is stamped with Chocolate Chip Ink. The cardbase is Baja Breeze and the DSP is from Ski Slope. I again attached a narrow strip of Chocolate Chip punched with the Scallop Edge Punch and tied a festive Real Red 1/4" Grosgrain ribbon across with a bow! How fun!!!
So there you go, three more cards from one great sketch! Now, go get busy and let me see what you come up with!
Just a quick reminder that I am selling two different Holiday cards kits, one with Ski Slope DSP and one with Holiday Treasures DSP. Also, I have sets of Personalized Note Cards for sale which make perfect gifts for just about anyone.
Please come back again soon for inspiration and more! Until then ... blessings, Gretchen




































These are very pretty! I like the square format of the cards!
