Some very good news: I actually felt well enough to get my boxes of new Stampin' Up product opened from the Winter Mini Catalog and then created two new cards. Yes, they were both very simple cards, but I really liked them, and it just felt great getting to stamp after more than a month of being sick. I went to the doctor last Monday and found out I had pneumonia and acute bronchitis (along with my poison ivy). The poison ivy is now gone and I'm not running a fever, but still have a croupy cough that will just take time to heal. So things are looking a lot better -- YIPPIE!!
Here are my cards:

| I love, love this stamp set: Gorgeous Grunge. So simple to use, but always looks different and so many designs you can create with five different stamps in the set. My Classic Ink colors: Crushed Curry, Marina Mist, and Gumball Green. I also used the new Yippee-Skippee! Stamp Set for the sentiment. |
 |
| This was my "throw-away" card because I dropped my stamp TWICE on the card. But you know stampers hate to throw anything away so I tried to cover most of it up with chevron pieces punched with the new Chevron Boarder Punch. I like how it looks completely different just by adding the chevrons. |

| This card was made for my son-in-law's birthday, and was CASEd from Michelle Zindorf's art. I used one 8 1/2" x 11" piece of Early Espresso Card Stock to fold in thirds to make a gift money card. Sorry I forgot to take a picture of the inside before I sent it out. Stampin' Up product used: Wetlands Stamp Set; Whisper White and Early Espresso Card Stock; Soft Suede, Crushed Curry, and Early Espresso Classic Ink; White Gel Pen; 1 3/8" Circle Punch; Sanding Block; Brayer; and Sponge Daubers. |

ReplyDeleteI love the extended version of the Wetlands. I have made some A2 size and felt I needed more room..............then got busy and didn't try it. You did a great job of putting it all into perspective. Thank you.
