Stampin' Up! Sweet Buttons Embossolit and I create a fun note card

I have jumped back into my clean and simple cards this evening, this idea has been floating in my head since late last night....

This is a fairly basic card, it consists of a Basic Black base with Whisper White layered on top, I started by stamping the sentiment which is a cute one from KaiserCraft, then I drew a border using my Black Stampin' Write Marker... Then the Bigshot came into its own... I had a bunch of scraps in my scrap drawers and I ran each colour (Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Pear Pizzazz, Pacific Point, Rich Razzleberry, and Regal Rose) through the Bigshot using the Sweet Buttons Embossolit... it cuts and embosses at the same time, and is only available until the 31st of July, when the Mini Catalogue ends... 

I am entering this into two challenges, the first is the Less is More Circles challenge, and the second is the Colour Throwdown Rainbow Challenge. 

I think that's all I needed to tell you this evening, so until next time...

Happy Stamping!

Stampin' Up! Picture This and I create quick Thank You notecards!

Last night before bed, I wanted to create one more project... I had exactly what I wanted to do in my mind.... So, at the ridiculous hour of 1am, I went into the craft room and whipped these up....

A note of appreciation

Thanks for owl you do

These use the Picture This hostess set which is now retired, but which I received a little while ago as blog candy. This is the first time I've gotten them inky too. I have used colours from the brights collection, with Real Red, Pacific Point and Daffodil Delight. I have used my Stampin' Write Markers to colour the sentiments in black, and then picking out the punny picture in the matching colour.... I have drawn a simple black border around the white card front to frame it. These cards are 4 inch square, and would make a wonderful little gift for someone special... I might just hold on to them for now, and see what happens... :-)

I am entering these in to the Less is More Lucky Dip challenge, which is for Thank You or Congratulations Cards. I will definitely be entering again, before the week is up, thoughts are already running about what I want to create :-) Head on over to the Less is More challenge blog, and check out some more Clean and Simple goodness! 

Happy Stamping!
