STAMP-A-STACK CARDS

I totally forgot to post this last night when I wrote about World Card Making Day. In observation of World Card Making Day and National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I hosted a Stamp-a-Stack on Saturday, October 6th. A portion of the event fee and orders placed on the 6th will be donated in my sister's honor to Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

I designed these four cards for the SAS, and my guests got to make two of each design. Their bonus project for this fun event was getting to make their own two-pocket bag like the one that I made for their "thank you" gift.

Thanks again, ladies, for your support of this very worthy cause! I appreciate you!

Garden Whimsy "Doughnut"

When making the quilt cards at the workshop, one of the final steps was to trim the strips of designer paper that were hanging off the edge of the card stock. One of my customers left her "snippets" of designer paper on the table, so I used them on this card! They look like ribbon, huh?

This card is 4" x 3-3/4". I began by placing the designer paper strips to the card. After the Really Rust layer was added, I punched a 1-3/8" through both layers--the Really Rust and the Soft Sky. The ladybug (Garden Whimsy) was stamped with Pumpkin Patch Spectrum ink onto Whisper White card stock and then punched with a 1" circle punch. This circle was layered onto an Old Olive 1-1/4" circle, which was adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals to the inside of the card so that it would peep through the "doughnut" hole. Doughnut cards are quick and easy to make! How do you like this card, Karin?????
