Thursday Challenge DSC #307

Welcome everyone to the Thursday Challenge!

This week it is all about punches, and Stampin Up has some great ones. 

This was an easy challenge for me as I really like using the punches. 

Punches are a quick and easy way to step up all of your projects. 

I needed a thank you card for my sister who has been

I decided to punch out 2 cats and labels making one of them

out of black to create a shadow effect. 

Adding the Decorative Ribbon Border added a unique touch to a 

somewhat simple card.

Using the Cookie Cutter Builder punch allowed me to add a heart to the 

cat's collar.

This was a very quick and simple card, but a very fun one to make.

I hope that you try it.

Thursday Challenge DSC #306

Welcome to another Thursday Challenge with the Stars!

This weeks Home Sweet Home inspired many different ideas for me. 

I finally decided that I would use the new Buffalo Check stamp set (#147794).

I love plaids and this fits right in! 

I also recently purchased the Mossy Meadow ink pad  (#147111 love our new ink pads!)

so decided I would use it since it went w/the Festive Farmhouse DSP (#147820) that I

was thinking about using. 

I used the Thanks from the Warm Hearted Stamp Set that is a 

Stamping Rewards set (#147777). 

One thing I have not done yet is to post a card for the simply stamping 

challenge Sarah talked about at On Stage. 

I decided I use make this card a #simplestamping card. 

I made the banner using my Banner Triple Punch (#138292), and used some

left over Paper Pumpkins rhinestones for embellishments.

As hard as it is for me to do simple stamping, this was actually fun

and easy. Guess I'll have to try making more of them!

I hope you will try some simple stamping like this, and you can

purchase all of the items used on this card (but the paper pumpkin rhinestones) 

from my online store using the link to the right. 

Happy Holidays everyone!
