Friend to Friend

I am so bad! I had so much fun creating new samples at an all day crop that I attended this past Sunday. I had pre-ordered a couple of things from the up coming Holiday Mini Catalog, and worked on some projects to have ready when the selling period starts on September 1. I got so excited about the things that I made, and got so many more ideas, that yesterday, I ordered more! I can't share those projects with you just yet, but I can share with you another card I made.

This card uses the Pocket Silhouettes Stamp Set, and DSP Razzleberry Lemonade. One thing I ordered was some different Designer Series Papers. I realized that I only had two sets, so I needed more. I like this color combination for fall; Rich Razzleberry and Crushed Curry Cardstock. I stamped the flower and sentiment with Rich Razzleberry Classic Ink and used my Stampin' Sponges on the edges to coordinate with the look of the patterned paper. To finish it off, I added a strip of 1/2" Polka Dot Grosgrain Ribbon in Rich Razzleberry.
This card is a perfect example of how Stampin' Up! makes it so easy to create beautifully coordinated projects. All of the Designer Series Papers and Specialty Papers shown in the catalog and mini catalogs list the coordinating cardstock/classic ink. They take all of the guess work out of it! You pick the patterned paper you like, and they tell you which cardstock you need to go with it. Then just pick a coordinating ribbon or other embellishment and you're ready to create!

If you haven't received a New 2009/2010 Idea Book & Catalog, and would like one, just contact me and I will get one to you right away.

Thanks for stopping by today!
