Believe it or not, I have a stash of pre-stamped SSS apples on various patterned papers from an older post (seen HERE). I also have a stash of heavy white cardstock and embossing folders that I am determined to use more frequently. See?
As my kids prepare for their return to school next week, I wanted to make some teacher appreciation cards. Do you have any idea how quickly you can make a clean and simple card when you have a stash of pre-stamped and fussy-cut images? (Fast...I'm talking Ba-BAM!)
Supplies Used:
Stamps: Sweet Stamp Shop "School's Out," "The Core of It"
Inks: back dye ink, warm grey Copic marker
Other: Cuttlebug "Pinking Stitch" embossing folder, pink ribbon,
My Mind's Eye Lime Twist "Life of the Party" 6x6 paper pad
I am really enjoying this challenge, I have to admit it. In case you want to play along, you have until next Tuesday at 10PM to enter the challenge. I highly recommend it as there are cool stamps to be won!
Edited to Add:
Would you believe I mis-scheduled my post and missed the entry deadline by a few hours?! Oh, well, I am still thrilled I used my stash again and I'll be sure to play along next time, too!
However, I am in time to enter this into the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge where the theme this week is ANYTHING GOES!
As always, I do appreciate your visit!

I agree that having a little stash of pre-cut and/or colored goodies is a great thing when you are in a hurry! I totally LOVE the embossed border on this card. It really makes for a special touch!
ReplyDeleteSo right! I have a little box of ready-to-go images right in front of me on my desk. You've inspired me with your card -- I've really got to pull out more of my embossing folders. Love that apple and the sweet little bow is just perfect on its stem. Fun card. Bev
