Stampingpals Challenge #2

For the month of April, the challenge is a sketch (see below).  It's a pretty easy one but that's just as well since life has been turned upside down for all of us during the COVID-19 pandemic.  I'm doing my part by staying in and keeping safe, and I feel blessed to be on an island where we have no confirmed cases.  So, I'm stamping as much as I like!

I'm going to miss these adorable stamp sets from Stampin' Up!'s Sale-a-bration special.  I love the Umbrella set and punch with the Hostess-only Ladybug set.  I use this yearly Sale-a-bration sale to stock up on my card stock, adhesives, and to purchase my 12-month subscription to the amazing monthly Paper Pumpkin kits.  I love getting FREE stamping supplies!!

The only blessing from this time off of work is that I'm sending many cards to friends and family.  I hope these cards cheer them a bit and remind them how much they are loved.

Check out the full challenge at http://www.stampingpals.com/ to see what others have created, and we hope you will make a card and join the challenge!

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 ]...
