Happy Krafty Chicks Thursday to you! You are in for a treat this month, the Chicks are hosting TWO GUEST DESIGNERS for the month of November. I'm so looking forward to Helen and Mandy's creations and have a bit of fun in the Hen House. See their links below and show them some love with a comment each week.
Welcome November and hello SNOW! Can't complain this year, we had a beautiful October and this is our first official snow fall. We got quite a dumping too! There was no easing into that. Lucky me, I was also on days off so I didn't have to venture out until I have to go to work later today.
Onto my card for this week's Krafty Chicks Challenge : Stamp Act. As long as something is stamped, be it an image (digi or rubber) or a sentiment, it qualifies for the Stamp Act challenge.
Once I cut off the corner of the DSP for the first, it only figures to use the other piece for a second. And I needed two Thank You cards right away for customer orders. These cards came together quickly, the hardest decision is usually how to place the floral die cuts in the background. But not this time because I kept it CAS.
Here's a close up. At first I stamped Rich Razzleberry ink onto Rich Razzleberry card stock but the image was faint. Then I thought of clear embossing powder to make the colour pop and it also adds a bit of shine.
Supplies I used:
- Nature's Prints stamp set: 158793
- Charming Sentiments stamp set: 159985
- Rich Razzleberry ink pad: 147091
- VersaMark ink pad: 102283
- Mint Macaron card stock: 138337
- Pear Pizzazz card stock: 131201
- Rich Razzleberry card stock: 115316
- Basic White card stock: 159276
- Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine 149653
- Natural Prints dies: 158800
- Heat Tool: 129053
- Clear Embossing powder: 155554
- Multi Purpose Liquid Glue: 110755
- Stampin' Dimensionals: 104430
I didn't have to decorate an envelope since these Thank You card were dropped into the customers' shopping bags. But I did stamp some foliage in Rich Razzleberry ink on the inside panel. Had I provided an envelope, I would have kept it very similar to the inside with a bit of foliage.
