I'm back, and starting with something new

I'm a long time stamper and haven't blogged in ages.  I teach a monthly card class on the third Saturday of every month.  This year I decided to add a new technique or trick to one project each month so that my guests always have a new challenge and inspiration.
For February, it was this meerkat card with a small pop up on the side.  It's super easy to do and yet so impressive!  All stamps by (C) Stampin' Up!

StampingPals Challenge #8 - Pack a Punch

Image
  Sometimes I overthink things and really need to just keep it simple.  I think this card works. For StampingPals Challenge #8 - Pack a Punch, the challenge was to use a craft punch to create our card.  I love the shapes that can be used without stamping.  This daisy can be used with or without the stamped images.  And I love the simplicity of it. The In Good Taste DSP is totally my fave this year and it looks great on all sorts of cards.  So classic! I love these challenges because everyone seems to have a totally different take on what to use and how to use it.  That's the beauty of stamping.  We can use the same idea and do it differently, or the same supplies, or whatever, and yet they all come out uniquely our own.  I hope you try it with us.  Hop on over to www.stampingpals.com and see what the others have created! Enjoy! Product List  Daisy Punch [ 143713 ] In Good Taste Designer Series Paper [ 152494 ]...
