Retiring Friday Favorites

Today is the last Friday Favorite post for the current catalog which means we are sharing our favorite retiring items. For me it is the Moonlight Designer Series Paper Stack. I love the colors which are Blackberry Bliss, Hello Honey and Sahara Sand. I used the Scallop Border Punch which is also retiring and the Hello Honey 3/8" Stitched Ribbon. I used the One Tag Fits all Stamp Set and the coordinating punch. The scalloped tag punch also came in handy and matches the other punch well. I only used markers for this card which makes for quick stamping. I hope you enjoyed the card and that you take the time to check out the other designers.

Single Layer Card

The design team is sharing single layer cards today and I had this one that seemed perfect. I used one half sheet of Whisper White Card Stock. Two ink pads and three stamps each inked once to create this card. It really doesn't get much easier than this. The stamp set is Work of Art and I stamped the thank you for Blackberry Bliss. The chevron was created by inking once and then stamping multiple times without reinking. Each time you stamp a little ink is removed making the next stamped image just a bit lighter. I love how easy this look is to create but yet it packs a big punch. Be sure and check out what the rest of the designer have to share today and thanks for stopping by.

Casing Kim

Today the challenge was to case a fellow designer. I picked the card below from Kim Ryden. I really liked the simplicity of it and who can't use thank you cards. I used the Another Thank you Stamp Set for my card and used a butterfly instead of a flower. I also changed up the colors just a bit but the layout is the same. I hope you check out the other designers cards and that you enjoyed today's CASE.

Let's Get Patriotic

Today the Design Team is sharing Patriotic Projects and I have one to share with you as well.The colors I decided to use are Night of Navy, Real Red and Whisper White. I sponged the Real Red and Night of Navy onto Whisper White Card Stock and then add the stars with the Craft White and a sponge dauber. I love our sponge daubers and really can't recommend them enough if you enjoy sponging. To finish off the card I used the happy which was cut from Glitter Paper. Hard to tell that in the photo but I promise is is sparkly in real life. For gluing the happy on you really can't go wrong with our 2 way glue. It makes getting into the small areas easy. I hope you take a moment to see what the other designers have created and thanks for stopping by!
