The leader of one of my yahoo groups gave us a challenge to use the sketch below, but to stamp directly onto the DSP. It's a pretty simple card, but I like it. The layout is a good way to use up some of your longer scraps too.
Stamp Sets: Bud Basics, Warm Words
Inks: Rose Red
Card Stock: So Saffron, Designer Series Print in Rose Red, Certainly Celery and So Saffron
Accessories: 1/4" Circle Punch

Yeah, it's Friday! That means Bloggers Challenge! This week our challenge is to use a Spectrum Pad--any of them, in any way we want. Being autumn, I grabbed my Pumpkin Patch Spectrum Pad and Holiday Mini set, Autumn Harvest.
I brayered Glossy White Card Stock with the Pumpkin Patch Spectrum Pad. Then I used Black Stazon to stamp the pumpkin, leaf and acorn image. Next, I cut the Glossy White CS into 1 inch strips. I layered the strips onto Basic Black CS, flipping every other one in the opposite direction. Then I finished my card with a tag and Black Hemp. Flipping the strips gives your card a fun and whimsical look.
Stamp Sets: Autumn Harvest, Everyday Flexible Phrases
Inks: Pumpkin Patch Spectrum Pad, Black Stazon
Card stock: Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black, Glossy White
Accessories: Black Hemp, Small and Regular Tag Punch, Blender Pens, Stampin' Dimensionals.

I was still dressed for work today when I made a delivery to my good friend, Kristy. She complimented my blouse (see below) and quickly added that it would make a good inspiration challenge. Well, I could hardly NOT stamp something for that, right? Thanks, Kristy, for the great idea/challenge! This card is for you!

I made this card on Friday when I had some of my stamping friends over to just stamp (it was a lot of fun!). I thought I might use it for a swap, but came up with another layout for that. This type of card has been done many times so I can't take credit. I really like the look of cutting around the pine needles--although it is time consuming.
Stamp Sets: Peaceful Wishes, Holidays and Wishes
Inks: Always Artichoke, Bravo Burgundy, Versamark
Card stock: Bravo Burgundy, Always Artichoke, Very Vanilla
Accessories: Gold Empbossing Powder, Heat Tool, Stampin' Dimensionals

While browsing a scrapbook magazine, I saw a layout similar to the one below. It's great for using up scraps of Designer Series Paper. Stampin' Up's Big Deal Alpha is just the perfect size for the "thank you". The Apple Cider Designer Series Paper is perfect for a background--makes a great fall "thank you" card.
I really like the Apple Cider DSP. For those of you coming to our World Card Making Day event, you will get to use it to make a very fun fall decoration!

My husband stopped by the Farmer's Market today and picked up some tomatoes. He asked (with sarcasm, I believe) if I wanted the container to "make something". I took his question as a challenge and created this basket. Isn't it perfect for the pine cones as a Christmas decoration? With paper crafting, any item can become a treasure!

I joined a Paper Piecing challenge for a stamping group that I am in. I hope the recipient likes her card. Each section of the large image from Thoroughly Thankful is Paper Pieced, but reversed. I stamped the image on 2 different types of Apple Cider Designer Series Paper. I cut out the inside of the image from the DSP that I wanted on top. For these images, you really need a sharp pointy pair of scissors like SU!'s Paper Snips.
Thoroughly Thankful is one of the sets that you can purchase at 30% off with a $30 order during Fall Frenzy. If you would like to purchase Thoroughly Thankful, email me. This offer ends September 30, so don't delay!
