Super Simple Card for Pals Paper Arts

7

PPA 222 - StampinMojo

It is the start of the month so the Pals Paper Arts challenge this week is a color challenge.  And the colors are beautiful together.

PPA222

Last month we were in Chicago to take our youngest to college and the leaves were just starting to change.  These colors reminded me of the tips of many of the leaves.

While this card design is super simple I really think it is very pretty.  The Magnificent Maple stamp (retired) has so much texture to it that it steals the show.  The oak leaf and the sentiment are from the For All Things stamp set in the Holiday Catalog.

The rounded corners flow nicely with the sentiment punched out with the Extra-Large Oval punch and layered over the Decorative Label Punch.

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope I inspired you to create today and join the fun over at the Pals Paper Arts Challenge.

Bravo set

Here we are back to the beginning of another week.  Weekends go by way too fast for me.  I did get a bit of time in my craft room.  I am thrilled with the result of this card.  I love shades of purple and green together.

The card base is from the note card and envelope set.  It is a perfect size note card at 3 1/2 x 5 and a bargain at only $5.95 for 20 cards and envelopes.  The card stock is heavier than our standard Whisper White card stock which makes it the perfect staple to my stampin' supplies.

The dots were created with Blackberry Bliss ink and the Dotty Angles Photopolymer set.  The silver star was cut from Stampin' Up's Brushed Silver paper using my Star Framelits.  And the small stars were punched out with the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack.

The sentiment came from the Bravo Photopolymer set and was heat embossed with Silver Emboss Powder.  It looks so crisp on the Blackberry Bliss card stock which is framed with Pear Pizazzz.

Here I used the star that resulted from cutting out the star frame for the front of the card.  

I hope your Monday goes well.  Thanks for stopping by!

Stampin' Up continues to up the fun factor with My Paper Pumpkin.  The September kit included six burlap treat bags and accessories to make fun Halloween Treat Bags.

Here is photo of everything included in the kit.

I could not wait to put it all together.  Here are my finished treat bags.

I adore these.  I think the burlap bags make them more masculine and perfect for sending off to our college aged sons.  Who doesn't love a treat in the mail?

Triple Flower Treat

Triple flower birthday

I don't usually use retired products as a focal point of my card however this is the first Stampin' Up stamp I purchased and I love it.  I could not even find it in the old catty but I believe it was called Quint-Essential Flower.  In the current catty, I use the Polka Dot Pieces stamp set for a similar result as you can see in this blog post.  However I could not resist using this old favorite.  

The colors are Crumb Cake, Basic Black, Crushed Curry and Very Vanilla.  The DSP is from the Typeset collection.  I love this design.  I am not sure if you can see it that well however I also added a strip of the DSP to the right side of the envelope.  

Here's another look:

Isn't that DSP print beautiful?  

The sentiment is from Itty Bitty Banners and the coordinating framelits.  I cut out a second Crushed Curry banner, cut it in half lengthwise to frame the sentiment.

A candy dot finishes the Triple Flower perfectly.

I am looking forward to more time in my craft room this weekend.  Perhaps all the Holiday Catty stamps will see ink this weekend!

Cheers,

Michelle
