Happy Sunday, friends!
Time for a fun new creative challenge over at The Paper Players!
This week, LeAnne is hosting our Clean-and-Simple (CAS) Challenge.
LeAnne came up with a really fun theme for this challenge, too. I sure hope you will get crafty and join us over at The Paper Players. We’d love to see what YOU create!
*I’ve listed all of the measurements and details for my card below and there is a full supply list at the very end of this post.
As soon as I saw the theme, I knew I had the PERFECT stamps for the challenge! The Crafting With You stamp set and coordinating dies are a "sneak peek" from the new 2023-2024 Stampin’ Up!® Annual Catalog and will be available to order on May 2, 2023. This set has lots of adorable crafty images and the sentiments are pretty great, too. I think the dies are my favorite part though. That little paper trimmer just makes me happy! I love that you can slide a little piece of paper in there, too. SO cute!
I went with one of my favorite color combos, Black, White and Melon Mambo, to keep things simple. I also added the slightest bit of texture with the Stitched With Whimsy and Stitched Rectangle Dies. The itty-bitty heart was brushed with Wink of Stella and the trio of rhinestones are the finishing touch. The bling on the scissors is pretty adorable, right? I just love this card and I hope you do as well. I can’t wait to pop this one in the mail to my favorite stamping buddy. Life really is better when you are crafting, right?

Finally a peek inside the card with more of the stamps from the set! I added a strip of DSP for little Stampin’ Cut & Emboss die-cut to sit on along with the stamped sentiment. I just love that sentiment, don’t you? Cards truly are “handmade hugs”!

ReplyDeleteOh, wow! This card is amazing! LOVE it, Anne Marie! It is so perfect for the challenge!
ReplyDeleteThis challenge had me wishing I had added this set to my preorder too (although it wouldn't have arrived in time for this week!) and like LeAnne I definitely overlooked the dies - that cute little trimmer makes my heart happy! Love your card this week Anne Marie!
ReplyDeleteAnne Marie, these dies are just fabulous! I love the color combo and the little scissors look real! I agree--crafting is great therapy! You rocked this challenge, My Friend!
ReplyDeleteAnne Marie, you are right - this is the perfect set for this challenge and I love how you used the elements on the inside as well as the outside. All that wonderful white space makes me happy and really allows your focal elements to shine. Fabulous card, my friend
