A card and some news to share :)

Here's a simple SUO card I made as a sample for my card camp a few weeks ago. For card camps, I try to create cards that are simple enough for a beginner stamper, but complicated (is that the word I'm looking for? maybe complex?) enough for a seasoned pro.


I wanted to use the new SU! in colours and also make a card that could be used for a man. This layout is one of the Fall to Layouts from Clean and Simple stamping. A star image is stamped randomly on the Vanilla cardstock using Versamark and the star image from Nursery Necessities. The sentiment from SU!'s All Holidays is stamped in Chocolate Chip on Baja Breeze and adhered to the bottom. A strip of Chocolate Chip paper is pierced using the SU! mat pack to keep the holes straight. I find that adding a strip of cardstock in place of a ribbon can give the same effect, but in a more masculine way.

Three stars were punched out using SU!'s star punches. The Baja Breeze and Chocolate Chip ones are adhered directly to the cardstock while the Kiwi Kiss one is raised on dimensional.

That's it for the card!

As for the news to share...Check out this announcement!


I am soooooo excited to be a member of the Design Team for There She Goes, a new line of stamps and images. Check out the talented ladies on that team! I sure hope I can keep up with them!

Jessica is taking preorders for the first release of her stamps, but you can only take advantage of the special pricing and shipping rates until tonight at midnight (Pacific Time). You can read the details of the preorder here. Scroll down a bit past the pics to see the info.

Thanks so much for stopping by today to check out what I've created and share in my news! This is my first design team opportunity and I can't wait to see what I come up with. And of course, share it with you!

Hope the rest of your day is great :)
